Stuff for Sale

Tucson, AZ

As I'm in the midst of a job search and am hoping to be wrapping up my time in Arizona in the next few months or so, I'm now starting to whittle down my belongings both to reduce the amount of stuff I'm going to have to move and to cut down the clutter in the house in preparation for selling it. I'm going to link to this post under the Bulletin Board heading on the left side of the blog and just keep adding and deleting items out of it as I put stuff up for sale and then actually sell it.

Now for the stuff. (Newly added stuff appears at the top of each list.)

Books
I'll start with the hardest part- my beloved books. I have a great collection of books. Unfortunately, I just do not have time to read them all and some of these have been sitting on my shelves gathering dust for five plus years. Some are duplicates I bought accidentally and have never even been opened. Others are ones I've read and don't expect to reread. Hardcovers are yours for $6 each plus actual cost of shipping/packaging, paperbacks for $3 each plus actual cost of shipping/packaging. I'm willing to send these by any standard shipping method of your choosing if I can reasonably access it. I'm not a book appraiser, but I think they are all at least in decent condition with most being in what I would describe as good or excellent condition. Paperbacks tend to be more worn than the hardcovers. Also, these books are almost all free of cigarette smoke odor with the exception of a couple which my parents bought me and stank up in their house before sending them to me. I'll mark clearly any books that smell like smoke for those of you who may care. If it's not marked, assume it is smoke-free. If you are interested in a book but would like more information, post a comment or e-mail me at linuxusr at earthlink dot net (with "Stuff for Sale" in the subject line of your e-mail so I know it's not spam), and I'll be happy to take a couple of pictures and post them so you can see for yourself. To buy anything, e-mail me at that address (with "Stuff for Sale" in the subject line of your e-mail so I know it's not spam) to make arrangments.

Seriously, Erin.)
