MOVING SALE

These items are at my house in Northeast Philadelphia (near Bustleton
and Rennard). I will be moving soon to Fairfax, Virginia (near Fairfax
High School). Small light items can be picked up at either location, or
shipped (anywhere) at your expense. Large or heavy items must be picked
up in Philadelphia.

These are limited time offers; anything not sold in the next couple
weeks or so, goes to Goodwill if heavy or large, eBay if small and light
and possibly valuable, else the trash!

Prices are very flexible, especially if you're buying a lot of stuff.
- Cash preferred.
- PayPal OK (via bank account, not credit card).
- BillPoint OK.
- No credit cards.
- Escrow OK, but you pay the fees!

See the end of this ad for links to pictures of most of the non-trivial
items.

MORE: There are tons of additional little things, and I'm sure I've

PICTURES OF SOME OF THE ABOVE:

That's about all of the semi-valuable stuff. If you want to know about
anything else, ask and I'll try to describe it, maybe take a pic, or you
can just come over and look at it. I'm unemployed, so just about any
reasonable time will be OK! I do NOT have a van or pickup, so there is
no way I can deliver furniture; rent one from U-Haul or Home Depot.
