The Great Lend Out!
I've already spoken to a few people about this, but I have lots of things I'd rather see lent out then sitting in storage for a year. Here's a preliminary list of everything I could think of during the first few hours of work.
Editted to reflect the first and second set of replies! Also, added a few other things I thought of
I will be home on WEDNESDAY evening from 4 until I go to bed (about 10 or 11) if folks want to come take a look at stuff
Things I have available to lend
George Forman grill (small)
Kitchen Stuff: a lot of kitchen stuff is being given away (see below) but some things that aren't include a nice knife set and a spice rack which I'd be willing to lend out, plus a bunch of baking supplies (cup measures, whisks, baking sheets, bread pans, etc.) Some of this will be lent to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fallenrose but I bet she won't take all of it. :)
Books (take a look at my account at LibraryThing...if it's back up...for a partial list - I own almost three entire bookshelves NOT listed there yet, though, I'm working on it... :) ) It's still down...so for quick reference this includes more than 2000 books, about half of which are manga.
Video Games, Movies, CDs: You'll have to either ask me if I have something or just come over and raid my collection. Highlights include a bunch of PS1 and PS2 games, lots of punk mixes, most of Babylon 5, all of Horatio Hornblower, and more...
Plants: tentatively,buzzermccain is going to take care of these for me, but if anyone wanted to take one or two, it would take some of the burden off of her, I have a lot of plants
A Beta Fish in a one gallon tank: My beta is well over a year old at this point, god knows how long it has left in the world, but assuming it's still alive when I leave, I need to find him a home.
Furniture: I have a fair amount of furniture, and I'd be willing to lend it out, but people would have to come and get it. This includes 3 mid-height bookcases, 2 end tables, a round kitchen table with a leaf and 6 chairs, a couch and loveseat, a small entertainment stand, a matching dresser and chest, 4 DVD holders, and a spinning CD holder, a small-ish computer desk, and a queen size bed/bedframe/box spring
Costumes
Things I'd like to give away!
Books : I have a stack of books I don't want. There are lots. You'd have to come take a look.
Dishes, silverware, etc. I'm gonna hold on to some of my baking stuff (cookie sheets) and to my pots and pans and knife set, but most of the plates and stuff aren't really worth keeping.
Walkman
Food, including my spices and teas and such. Obviously, different food things can go to different folks
Things I'd like to Sell
Hutch - a 20 year old pine hutch. It's a little beat up, but it's still a pretty nice piece of furniture. I'm thinking $50. It holds a ton of stuff and was, according to my mom, "really expensive" when she first got it. Possibly going tofallenrose
PS1 - ten bucks will get you a function PS1, no games, with a controller.
Game Boy SP - I have a Game Boy SP and about 15 games for it (roughly). I'm tentatively thinking $75 - $100 for the lot; I have to check just how many games we're talking about before I decide for sure. For a list of games, see the comments.
Portable harddrive/MP3 player - about 6 years old now, I know the battery in it is fried, beyond that I'm not sure if it works or now; I don't have the software for it, either, I don't think. A nomad. I wouldn't charge anything for it until the person who wanted it determined it's degree of functionality. Then, I'm thinking $20. It's got a 30 gig harddrive, if I remember correctly.

Toaster Oven going to ALF (where I work)
Laptop being sold tobuzzermccain

A 27" TV is being lent tocorneredangel
A 3" thick Queen size memory foam bed topper. It's comfy! is being lent tod_c_m or schenker28
A pastamaker, acquired at goodwill cause it seemed like a good idea...just don't think it's gonna get used after all. Not sure if it works. Being given togilded_ygdrasil
I'm gonna keep posting and updating this over the next couple months in the hopes that I can send the maximum amount of my stuff out into the world, and obviously I'll be keeping a record of who has what. This is first come first serve, so if you want something, just speak up. Just remember, I'm gonna want my stuff back in a year, hopefully in approximately the same condition in which I lent it out. :)
Oh! And if any of you on the East Coast see anything you'd want, I can bring it as long as it'll fit in my car; I'll be coming east before I leave for sure, I'm thinking for mom's birthday, which is August 2nd, and will swing by Binghamton. Tentative dates are Aug 1 - Aug 5. Not long, I know, especially to hit NYC and Bing, but I don't think I can spare more time than that.
