I'm moving out of the College Park area soon, and 
I have some extra things that I won't be needing.

The first 8 items are appropriate for a graduate student-type
lifestyle.  The last is for anyone who owns a VW Bug
or Ghia and wants new wheel rims.

I believe that I'm asking reasonable prices, but I could
be wrong in either direction...  Make me an offer.

      + Storage Cubes                    -- $45
       
            perfect for a kids playroom or 
            a closet.

            It's hard to describe this.  Basically, it is 
            a set of 9 heavy duty, indestructible plastic 
            cubes in yellow and red.  The cubes attach to 
            each other, and form a unit.  Each cube is 
            about 14"X14"X14".  Two of the red cubes have 
            two drawers each.  Right now, I have 8 in a 
            2X4 configuration and I use them as organizers 
            on my closet floor.  The ninth is a good 
            catch-all container.

      + Twin size mattress (+ a bed frame if you want it)  -- $25 for both

           On the floor, the mattress makes a good
           place for overflow guests.   
           
           Alternatively, if you go to Hechingers and 
           buy a twin size piece of plywood, it would 
           make the mattress and frame into a reasonable 
           semi-permanent bed. 

      + Matching Coffee Table and End Table  --   $70 for both

           Solid oak, I've thought about refinishing
           them and then selling them, but they're
           in reasonable condition and I don't have the 
           time!

           The table tops are about 1" thick; the legs
           are tapered; they are squarish with rounded
           corners.

      + High-backed Wicker Chair --   $30  

           With new Williamsburg Blue seat cushion 
           
      + Floor Lamp               --   $30

           3 way setting.

           good condition, it's the sort of lamp
           that goes near a sofa or chair, not over 
           a desk.

      + Stereo Receiver + 2 Speakers -- $30

           Great sound!  Originally it was a 
           tape deck/record player/receiver combo.  
           The tape deck runs slowly, so I took the 
           turntable off and made it into a 
           sleeker receiver-only unit.   

      + 12" (I think) Black and White TV.  Emerson.  -- ??

           I haven't had a chance to check the 
           price for a new one yet.  Basically,
           1/2 the price of a new one sounds reasonable
           to me.

      + 10 speed bike in terribly weather      -- $5.00
        beaten condition.

            Good for something like getting back 
            and forth between UMD graduate student 
            housing and the computer science 
            department.  Right now, it needs new 
            tire tubes; something needs to be done 
            with the chain; and it needs a good
            scraping and repainting.  The brake 
            cables are new.

One more item:

      + 2 snow tires, mounted , never used,           -- $85 for both
        5 years old, for a VW bug or Ghia, circa
        '73.  

            The wheel rims alone cost $86.60 each at 
            the dealer.
