I have been "authorized" to get the following things out of our living room by my SO:
1. Viewsonic A90f
This monitor is professionally refurbished, but has a line of missing pixels in the middle, less than one millimeter in length at 1024x768 and higher resolutions. This is an otherwise excellent monitor with vivd colours. There are no scratches or blemishes on the screen of which I am aware. Except for the aforementioned issue, the tube is focused, aligned, and at factory spec.
PerfectFlat screen with anti-static, anti-reflection coating
Shadow mask, with 0.21mm horizontal dot pitch
1600x1200 @ 66Hz
1280x1024 @ 80Hz
1024x768 @ 105Hz
Full specs
Retails new for around $300. Asking $75, which is an incredible deal. If you want it shipped, you'll have to pay before the UPS guy comes by on Friday or pay the USPS pick-up fees (you pay shipping either way); otherwise you'll have to retrieve it from my apartment in Sunnyvale, California.
2. Zip 100 Disks
One Fujifilm, opened, but unused; one Iomega, opened, used with 99% of life remaining. Both are PC formatted.
These things still go for $10 new. Asking $10 shipped each, or $15 shipped for both.
3. 4x CD-RW Disks, 74min, 650MB
Four Acer "Qualified" CD-RW disks, opened but never used.
Eighteen "Mr. Platinum" guaranteed 1000x rewrite CD-RW disks, used once and erased once, leaving 998 rewrites.
Two "Mr. Platinum" guaranteed 1000x rewrite CD-RW disks, used less than 10 times, leaving more than 800 rewrites.
Sell for $0.10 to $1 each new. Asking $0.20 each for the Acers, $0.07 each for the lightly used Mr. Platinum, and $0.05 for the remaining Mr. Platinum. I can provide jewel cases for $0.20 each for regular and $0.15 for slimline (limited quantities of each).
4. Logitech Cordless Mouseman Wheel, P/N 851088-0000
Used, in excellent condition. Comes with original packaging, along with all parts, except the batteries and the outdated catalog of Logitech products. Still under warranty; never registered.
Goes for about $40 new. Asking $20, shipped.
5. Miscellany
