Hi all, I've got some new, or good-as-new, items ready to donate to anyone who'd setting up in a new apartment, etc. Since it's the end of the month, I'm thinking someone on my list might find these items useful, or know someone who does.

I'd put them in the back alley but I don't think the street-recycling crowd would really find much use for these... Let me k ...Continue Reading

It cost $475 when purchased at The Brick in January. Now the asking price is $250 or best offer. Pictures are visible i ...Continue Reading
