Free: HP Color LaserJet 5550dtn (castro valley) HP Color LaserJet 5550dtn with duplex, drive, stand, etc I picked up this 5550dtn for the purpose of printing my photography on large format paper. This can handle 11”x17” paper in the trays. It has the duplex unit, the JetDirect network card, hard drive storage attachment, the stand with wheels & additional paper tray. I hate to let this go, but it does need a new image transfer kit (can be found online for $160-250 on eBay, with new old stock (NOS) from resellers even more expensive). This also a beast, very heavy and large in size. It fits well in our garage, but I have to thin the collection of projects. I am looking to pass along to someone who can use this, as it does not bring us joy. Help me get stuff out of our house please.

Request: Android phone for low income senior (Alameda near Park Street) Hi I'm trying to help out a 78-year-old friend who lives in a trailer in San Leandro. He has very little money only social security. Does anyone have an android phone they could give him? He had his service cut off by AT&T. I got him mobile service through the CA Lifeline program via Gen Mobile but the phones cost at least $70. (I have given him enough money and I don't want to give him any more. So I'm not going to pay for the phone.) He is accustomed to Android phones so that would be best. Anything that has a fairly updated Android operating system, please. Thank you!
