The Great Lend Out!

[unforth]

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 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 to fallenrose

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.

Things that have been claimed
Toaster Oven going to ALF (where I work)
Laptop being sold to buzzermccain
Sewing machine being lent to buzzmermccain
Car being lent to schenker28
Jonie being...er...cared for, hopefully by schenker28. Failing that....uh....
Computer stuff is all going to my brother, because most of it belongs to HEC
FFXII: the only game currently spoken for, going to dyrecorn
7 Seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 being lent to dyrecorn
2 tall bookcases (all subtracted from the above total) are being given to moonartemis76
Kitchenaid is being lent to nekomata
Guitar Hero controller is being lent to kniedzw
DDR controller is being lent to kniedzw
Bookcases - 2 tall and 3 low - are going to feyangel
A Nintendo and a few games is going to morbon_tg
A Sega Genesis, Sega CD and a few games is going to morbon_tg
Vacuum is being lent to swan_tower
Rice Cooker is being lent to gollumgollum
A 13" TV/VCR combo - I don't know if the VCR works, no remote is being lent to d_c_m
Small DVD player w/ remote is being lent to d_c_m
PS2 is being lent to corneredangel
A 27" TV is being lent to corneredangel
A 3" thick Queen size memory foam bed topper. It's comfy! is being lent to d_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 to gilded_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.

i'll be happy to hold onto/save your "Video Games, Movies, CDs"

i have room now since i cleaned up mine...

[morbon-tg.livejournal.com]

I would be happy to hold the Nintendo or Sega and games for you for a while. It would be fun to have them around to randomly play old games.

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

I'd probably be willing to hold on to the Guitar Hero controller, particularly since my second one is acting up....

[nekomata.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to try a Kitchen Aid!

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

Oh. For that matter, DDR and the controller. I'd be nice to be able to flail in the privacy of my own home before I actually attempt such nonsense in public. :)

[nekomata.livejournal.com]

P.S. I'd like to look at the books.

[dyrecorn.livejournal.com]

I'd like to have a look at the "bunch of PS1 and PS2 games"
I'd also be interested in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

[feyangel.livejournal.com]

I could really use the bookshelves.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Gimme a call and we can arrange a time for you to come over and take look at what's available. :)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

You can have both, though I want to keep one or two of the games for meself for nostalgia sake(those I'd be willing to lend but would want back), I'll try to remember to bring them to BAPA. Like I said - not sure they work, nor am I sure that I have all of the cables, which is why they are free. :)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. I also have ...er... three or four of the DDR games...four I think...which I'll happily lend along with the controllers. I'll spend a day or two deciding if I'm actually going to have time to use any of them in the next month, and if I decide not I'll bring them to BAPA or the Day Game.

[danielmc.livejournal.com]

gots dinner at 6...give you a call later or tomorrow.
(dont hold anything...if others frenzy over it, cool!)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

I'd be glad to see the Kitchen Aid in a happy home, it's shiny and black and has several nozzle bits and a cover. :) It's one of the things I feel most strongly about in terms of condition, though - I've only had it six months, it was my birthday gift from my mom, so please take good care of it! :)

[unforth.livejournal.com]

You're over at my place often enough, you can peruse them at your leisure and let me know which ones you'd want.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Actually, tonight's not a good night for me anyway, I'm going to be out with folks, but I'll be around tomorrow all evening...

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Do you want all five of the available? If so, you'll have to figure out a way to move the tall ones - the low ones will fit in my car, but the tall ones are more of a problem. If no way can be found, though, I can probably bring them over when I move the rest of my furniture. The bookcases won't be available until it's a little closer to moving time anyway, right now they are still filled with books (it'll be about a month I expect).

das cool. call/contact you tomrrows

I might actually want all 5, since I will be losing furnature here soon. I could probally get them on my own if I have too. But yeah I could use all 5.

trust me...

Last night I uncovered 30 books just staying quietly in my bedside table. NOt to mention the 5 boxes of books in the garage.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Sounds fine to me. :) Consider them yours.

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

What Game Boy games do you have? I'm pretty damn thrilled with my DS and it plays GBA games.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

oh! Hm, well...here's a list of the ones I can find in 3 minutes (I'm low on time)...some of them have saves that you'd either have to wipe or could play with...

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (I played this for sooooo many hours, I was crazy)
Super Mario Brothers 3
Sim City 2000
Final Fantasy Adventure (not GBA, obviously)
Donkey Kong Country
Super Puzzle Fighter II (I love this game so much, it's wonderful)
Lunar Legend
Kingdom Hearts

I'll admit, the Game Boy and games are one of the only things on the list that I'm not quite sure I'm willing to part with...I'll give it a little more thought, and make up my mind. I don't want to get rid of them is the truth, I just can't convince myself I'll ever have the time to play them again. I can't even find time to play the PS2 games I have.

[nekomata.livejournal.com]

I'll take really good care of it!

[corneredangel.livejournal.com]

I'll claim the PS2, the TV, and possibly various other things here and there, I'd have to come look at. Say, what are you doing on Friday? The couch actually sounds fairly tempting - do you have pictures?

- M.

[nekomata.livejournal.com]

Oh, and do you think -any- of your costuming stuff would fit me? All of mine is way to big now. >_<
