to Goodwill if heavy or large, eBay if small and light and possibly
valuable, else the trash!

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.
