Even More Stuff That Could Be Yours (April 2007)

[rsadelle]

This edition of stuff that could be yours includes both things for free and things that are not free. I'm basically on a never-ending round of spring cleaning. I find that once I've gone through a set of stuff once, it's easier to get rid of more stuff the next time around.

How This Works: If you want something, or several somethings, leave a comment telling me what you want and email me your address. I'll cross things out as they get taken. My plan is to go to the post office about once a week. I'll be sending things book rate or priority mail depending on how much you want and how many boxes I have in the house. If you want anything like insurance, delivery confirmation, etc., let me know that when you email me.

If you have any questions about anything, just ask.

Please feel free to point your friends this way if you think I have something they'll want.

Anything not claimed by May 12 or so will be donated or listed for sale elsewhere (for stuff you have to pay for).

Stuff You Have To Pay For Fine Print: Prices include domestic shipping. If you're from out of the US and you want enough that it weighs a lot, we may have to negotiate an increased price. If you want more than one thing, we can negotiate about reducing price a little for combined shipping. I'll take PayPal if that's the only thing you can do, but I prefer a money order, check (if I know you personally and therefore know I can trust you), or cash (only if you're local).

A Note About Pricing: If you're reading this, you probably either enjoy reading my LJ or you know someone who does, so I've attempted to underprice things a bit. Feel free to shop around and check it out; remember that my prices include shipping. I'm willing to negotiate on the comic books; my prices are my best guesses (or somewhat arbitrary [I'm more interested in getting rid of them than in serious pricing research]) and possibly totally wrong in either direction.

Comments

[dine.livejournal.com]

if they're still available, I'd love the Escapade 2007 vid DVD and To Say Nothing of the Dog

[rsadelle]

They're yours!

[vic-ramsey.livejournal.com]

If available, I would like #18 (Fray by Joss Whedon). I'll email my address.

[rsadelle]

It's yours!

[dedalvs.livejournal.com]

Is the Black Death board game any fun? Is there a description online somewhere?

[dedalvs.livejournal.com]

Ok, so Dave asked about the game and I went and looked it up, this is what I found:

BTRC On-line Catalog. a humorous and macabre little board game about life in the Middle Ages, circa 1400AD, during the height of the Plague. Each player takes the role of a different disease, and whoever wipes out most of Europe wins!

I may need this...

[rsadelle]

Hee! You two can have it! That sort of game isn't so much my thing anyway (I'm even getting rid of my Trivial Pursuit because I don't ever play board games with people anymore). Brad and I played it once, with Brad's cousin-of-some-sort from Germany. I remember it being not that great, but that may be because there was something of a language barrier to the socializing aspect.

[j-crew-guy.livejournal.com]

I'd love American Gods and Smoke and Mirrors. Thanks! I'll e-mail you my address when I get the chance.

[rsadelle]

They're yours!

[dedalvs.livejournal.com]

Well, while the Bill gates paper dolls are tempting (this is Erin again, not Dave) I think I just want Tam Lin, if it's not gone already.

[rsadelle]

It's yours! (You could log out and log back in as yourself...)

[dedalvs.livejournal.com]

And actually put in effort?! Just who do you think I am?!

[rsadelle]

That's the problem - I don't know!

Rent To Own.

[fuseji.livejournal.com]

Say, if it's not too much trouble (and if no one gives you money for it right away)...could I borrow Stardust to read? I've been insanely curious to discover what the heck it's about since the movie was announced.

fuseji should really learn to read the book AFTER seeing the movie.

Re: Rent To Own.

[rsadelle]

Yes, if you're very, very, very careful with it. I think the version of the book that's been published in hardback doesn't have the illustrations, which seems odd.

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Hi there! I stumbled over here in a very awkward manner which began with a Spike/Xander/Andrew thing and just got worse from there. But anyway, if you're looking to get rid of Harry Potter stuff, I'm your gal. I'm particularly interested in the stationary set.

I'll email you...

Camden

[rsadelle]

It's all yours!

YAAAAYYYY!

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

I got my Harry Potter package today, and all I can say is that you're the best! If you ever want anything from my house, feel free to stop by and poke around... :)

Re: YAAAAYYYY!

[rsadelle]

I'm glad it got to you! Um. I found that I didn't include the calendars. They were in a different stack than the other stuff. I'll round up an envelope and mail those this week.
