I'm moving out of the College Park area soon, and
I have some extra things that I won't be needing.
The first 8 items are appropriate for a graduate student-type
lifestyle. The last is for anyone who owns a VW Bug
or Ghia and wants new wheel rims.
I believe that I'm asking reasonable prices, but I could
be wrong in either direction... Make me an offer.

+ Storage Cubes -- $45
perfect for a kids playroom or
a closet.
It's hard to describe this. Basically, it is
a set of 9 heavy duty, indestructible plastic
cubes in yellow and red. The cubes attach to
each other, and form a unit. Each cube is
about 14"X14"X14". Two of the red cubes have
two drawers each. Right now, I have 8 in a
2X4 configuration and I use them as organizers
on my closet floor. The ninth is a good
catch-all container.
+ Twin size mattress (+ a bed frame if you want it) -- $25 for both
On the floor, the mattress makes a good
place for overflow guests.
Alternatively, if you go to Hechingers and
buy a twin size piece of plywood, it would
make the mattress and frame into a reasonable
semi-permanent bed.
+ Matching Coffee Table and End Table -- $70 for both
Solid oak, I've thought about refinishing
them and then selling them, but they're
in reasonable condition and I don't have the
time!
The table tops are about 1" thick; the legs
are tapered; they are squarish with rounded
corners.
+ High-backed Wicker Chair -- $30
With new Williamsburg Blue seat cushion
+ Floor Lamp -- $30
3 way setting.
good condition, it's the sort of lamp
that goes near a sofa or chair, not over
a desk.
+ Stereo Receiver + 2 Speakers -- $30
Great sound! Originally it was a
tape deck/record player/receiver combo.
The tape deck runs slowly, so I took the
turntable off and made it into a
sleeker receiver-only unit.
+ 12" (I think) Black and White TV. Emerson. -- ??
I haven't had a chance to check the
price for a new one yet. Basically,
1/2 the price of a new one sounds reasonable
to me.
+ 10 speed bike in terribly weather -- $5.00
beaten condition.
Good for something like getting back
and forth between UMD graduate student
housing and the computer science
department. Right now, it needs new
tire tubes; something needs to be done
with the chain; and it needs a good
scraping and repainting. The brake
cables are new.

-------------------------------------------------------------
One more item:
+ 2 snow tires, mounted , never used, -- $85 for both
5 years old, for a VW bug or Ghia, circa
'73.
The wheel rims alone cost $86.60 each at
the dealer.
