With a mix of annoyance and trepidation, I present the list of items I will cram into my little Toyota and bring to
Nice! Festivus. I request half a
table, please.
Yes.
I request half a table, because 1) is there any space left? 2) I have a plan. I'll do as Doug Crawford suggests: leave the grot in my car to
2 tables left. Now 1.
reduce the clutter and my backache. Bring items in as interests merit. Bring them back to my car when interest abates. Not passing judgement, but the sheer volume of items (and my old man's back) suggests to me this is a plausible strategy.
Good idea.
Those of you, who are particularly excited about a thing, can email me personally and let me know: name a price. I suggest some prices for items less common. A working laptop has some utility, if only as a terminal for file transfer.
In twenty years, I'll tell whoever listens to me, "I once sold a Thinkpad for a bottle of beer; now it's worth a bottle of water! Curses! Who knew?" Help feed my narrative.
