Offer: Sleep Number mattress -- queen/dual (Davis/Teele Square area) Expired 128d - Clean and in excellent condition, this is a queen-size (60x80x9") Sleep Number 5000 adjustable firmness mattress. Dual air chambers allows each side to have its own "sleep number" firmness level. Two inches of foam on top of the air chambers, plus the padded mattress cover, make it surprisingly comfortable, and it doesn't feel much like an "air mattress."

CAVEAT: shake well and only use with *lots* of ventilation. I tried using one of these once when Covid first started, and breathing too much of it made me ill. I wetted the surface down with it and let it sit a while, but I'd forgotten to shake it and I was in an enclosed space with no ventilation.

If the 3 1/2" diameter is too large for your machine, or if the 1" hole is the wrong size, you can re-roll part of it onto an empty tube that fits your machine-- I've done this before with an old fax machine and it worked great.

Offer: step-stool chair (Davis/Teele Square area) Gifted 190d - This is a clever chair that turns into a step-stool by simply flipping the back of the chair forward.

Offer: small 5cuf fridge, avail ~Feb 10-12 (Davis/Teele Square area) Gifted 266d - This little fridge has been in continuous use since about 1985, continues to work fine, and surprisingly is not a terrible energy hog. It's five cubic feet, manual defrost, with a small top freezer. The freezer is not cold enough to freeze things quickly or well, or to keep ice cream hard, though perhaps it would do a little better on the coldest setting. Given its age it's in fair shape; could use cleaning some scotch-tape residue off the door etc. Overall size approx 20" wide x 22" deep x 34" tall. We have a larger fridge scheduled to arrive Feb 9. Assuming the new one arrives and works, the old one can be picked up sometime after that. Porch pickup, between Davis & Teele Squares.

Offer: Electronic dictionary + word games (Davis/Teele Square area) Gifted 308d - Electronic Scrabble dictionary, with word games. Could be fun for a young child who doesn't yet have a cell phone (or do they all get them at birth now? ;-). It's old, and the Scrabble dictionary is no longer the most current, but it works perfectly and includes three word games with settable skill levels: (1) Jumble challenges you to find the word whose letters have been rearranges; (2) Mystery Word is a little like hangman; (3) Word Deduction lets you guess words of the specified length, and tells you how many letter are included, plus how many in the correct position, until you have enough info to deduce the word.
