Sets of Casters (Hell's Kitchen)
Expired
Do NOT reply unless you have read the entirety of this listing. I will ignore such requests. Ideal for cabinet-maker or DIY fanatic. Mostly black, mostly new or newish, various sizes. Please read with care the following: PHOTO 1, TOP TO BOTTOM New, 2” blue wheels. Screw mounted. 2 have locks to prevent movement. Set of 5 new or near new stem casters, 2” wheels. Set of 4,1-3/4” wheels, new or near new. Set of 4, 1” wheels, new or near new. Two of them lock. PHOTO 2, TOP TO BOTTOM Set of 4, 2” wheels Another set of 4, 2” wheels Set of 4, 1” wheels Note: 1. Stem casters CAN be used just as they are but for heavy use—lots of rolling ‘em around here and there—you may need STEM SOCKETS. Enter that in your browser to see that they’re cheap, readily available from many etailers in all sizes. 2. Sizes are my best guess; may be off by 1/4 ”—but they’re standard sizes, so that shouldn’t matter. PREFERENCE TO SOMEONE TAKING ALL. No cherry-picking. Serious requests only please. That means you're able to say exactly when you'll come for them--and stick to it. Easy Midtown pickup near Penn Station: any day, 8 to 6. You must provide a phone number (one that you answer).

Four Voice Recorders (Hell's Kitchen)
Expired
Yesterday's tech today? Takes ya back, dont it--back to when your phone couldn't do the job. These are all working, all late-model recorders, models that reached their peak and then fell over the edge. In the pic above, the one on the left is a nice, well-behaved little Philips digital. Next comes a very nice Olympus digital of truly enormous capacity; records for hours.Then come Little Recorder That Could, tiniest and lightest of Olympus digitals, followedby a real graybeard, an Olympus TAPE recorder. Note: the two on the right are wearing blue rubber bands to keep the battery door closed. Stupid project engineers thought plastic would make a good latch. Wonder what they're doing today? Probably designed fragile, short-lived junk for Samsung. To claim, you MUST provide a phone number. One that you pick up.

Jane Austen Pamphlet (Hell's Kitchen)
Expired
About 5"x8", 37pp. a few B/W photos. Are you the type of Austen fan that gets all goo-goo-eyed over the innumerable Austen movies and TV serials of Dear Jane's novels? If so, read on with care, pilgrim, as this may NOT be for you. This is a scholarly work about Austen's comings and goings, her to-ing and fro-ings, in a town she didn't much like, but which figured importantly* in her novels. What's in here is what some would call trivia but, Jane being rather a biggie in the literary world, merits the term minutiae: when Jane wrote letters about shopping, which plays she didn't see in June of 1799, and most riveting of all, her extremely peripheral connection to a court case involving some maternal relatives and a wily shopkeeper, for which Jane was out of town. Rich stuff indeed, and there's more. If you want this (how can you not?), you MUST include your cell phone AND pick up when I call. I want to get this over with after no more than three messages between us, preferably two. Unfortunately, that seems to be beyond the capabilities of most TN claimants, so if you are among them, seek elsewhere. *Here you see one of the very few correct uses of importantly; considering the deteriorating standards of our age, possibly the last in your lifetime.
