Free: Executive Office Chair with wheels (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) 26d - Very comfortable, gently used office chair with high (tall) back, adjustable-height arm rests, and stable base with 5 functional wheels. Back rest and seat are fabric covered; with chair arm rests, chair rear, legs, and casters being a gray vinyl-like material. From a distance, fabric appears as a gray-ish color; up close it is a teeny blue, grey, red pattern. (Color in photos is not "true"). Chair has a duck-tape patch on the left arm rest covering a small tear. Seat fabric is loose along one small section near the front, but can be tucked in. (See photos) The hydraulic height adjustment does not work consistently. In spite of its defects, the chair is comfortable and has many serviceable years left.

The halter top has shoulder straps that button in the back (may be able to use them as cross-over straps), and a tie that makes a bow in the back (see 2nd photo).

Free: Baskets - Just in time for Easter (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 44d - Baskets are multipurpose – not just for Easter, but also can be used for organizing stuff, for displaying a collection (of stuffed animals, say), for holding a plant or flower arrangement, or for creating a customized gift basket for a loved one for a birthday, holiday, or other special occasion. There are many uses for these versatile baskets! I have several baskets on offer, as I am cleaning out my “extra stuff”. All dimensions are approximate. 1) Padded ivory lace covers this small round basket with a handle; It is decorated with a small pink rose nosegay with ribbon and (fake) pearls. Basket wicker is a natural ecru color. Basket is 4.5” tall, plus the handle of about 5”. Entire item is about 7” in diameter, but interior basket is only about 5” in diameter. (2 photos) 2) Round basket 6.6” diameter at the bottom, and about 8.5” across the top. Basket itself is about 4” tall, and has a handle that adds 9”. This basket also has a plastic inset liner, so it could be used as a holder for a plant. (2 photos) 3) This rectangular basket is 8” x 6” on the bottom, and 10” x 7” on the top. It is 6” tall, with a handle that adds 8”. (1 photo) The baskets are a bit dusty, but could easily be washed with mild dish soap and water. Please indicate which basket(s) you would like.

Free: CPAP fleece hose cover (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 51d - If you use a CPAP for sleep apnea, here is a solution to keep the air warm as it flows through the hose, and to reduce condensation (known as “rainouts”). This may also reduce noises made when your tube comes up against a hard surface (headboard or nightstand, for example). This red hose cover is hand-made hose of warm, washable soft fleece material. It is not lined. Each end of the cover has a Velcro closure to keep the hose cover fastened tight around the hose at each end. (No zipper needed.) These covers sell elsewhere for $10 to $20. Approximate dimensions: 5.5 feet long, circumference 5”, flat width 2.5”. Give me your two-hour pickup window, and then I will send you the address. Covered porch pickup (protected from rain) for your convenience. Very near Stevens Creek Blvd and DeAnza Blvd in Cupertino.

Free: 7-column accounting ledger book (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) 53d - Ledger book for keeping track of account balances, such as incoming money, outgoing money, with dates, and sources. Columns are not labeled, so you can decide how you want to label them, and what you want to track. For example, this could be used to record stock purchases (basis cost), dividends, stock splits, and stock sales. This would also be handy for a small personal business to record expenses, billing, etc. This is a “Sterling” Columnar Book, No. 2580, made for F.W. Woolworth Co., and is “vintage”. I think that some of the pages may have been used and removed, and as a result, the string binding is a bit loose. There are at least 20 double sided pages remaining, with at least 30 entry lines on each side – enough to be functional for record-keeping for many transactions. Give me your two-hour pickup window, and then I will send you the address. Covered porch pickup (protected from rain); Very near Stevens Creek Blvd and DeAnza Blvd in Cupertino.

Free: CPAP Wisp cushions, XL, new (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) 54d - If you use a Philips Respironics CPAP with the Wisp minimal contact nasal mask for sleep apnea, here’s a money saving item for you! I have brand new triangular Wisp cushions which sell elsewhere for about $9 each. It is recommended that CPAP users replace this part every two weeks. Whenever I order a complete headgear set (once or twice a year), the package contains three cushions, one each in size S/M, L, and XL. I only use the Large, so I have a bag of 8 small/medium and a bag of 8 X-Large cushions that are brand new. NOTE: The S/M have been promised, but not yet picked up. The XL are available. The fabric frame and headgear attachments are NOT included. These are ONLY the triangular WISP cushions. Give me your two-hour pickup window, and then I will send you the address.

Free: Neato robo-vac boundary strips (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 73d - If you have a Neato-brand robotic vacuum cleaner, you need these magnetic boundary strips to control the space(s) that Neato cleans. Keep Neato out of some rooms, or even just areas within rooms, by placing down these boundary strips, and Neato will not cross the strip. On offer are three magnetic boundary strips; all are 1” wide. Approximate lengths are 6’4”, 12’10”, and 12’11”. Strips can be cut to whatever length you like; I did not cut them, but used them with the end rolled up for shorter spaces.

Free: 20+ Clear glass jars (no lids) (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Expired 120d - Eleven (11) 2-cup clear glass jars (1st photo). Each jar is marked with 0.5c, 1c, 1.5c, and 2c levels. I'm not sure if these are appropriate for home canning, or not. Could be used for craft projects, such as pencil/pen holders, or to hold real or artificial flower arrangements. Your imagination is the only limit. These originally contained canned fruit or marinara pasta sauce. Also ten (10) miscellaneous clear glass jars, of varying sizes and shapes (second photo), from food products. Some interesting shapes would make nice vases for gifting garden flowers to friends. (You don't have to worry about getting your vase returned!) These jars do not have lids either. (I originally offered all these jars to a non-profit group that does flower arrangements for shut-ins, but in the end, they decided they did not need them. They had told me to throw away the lids, and I did so, not knowing that they would not take the jars. That's why there are no lids, sorry.) These will be heading for the recycle bin soon if there are no takers.

Free: VINTAGE Spelling & Counting Board (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 129d - This vintage educational toy (circa 1955) is perfect for children ages 3-7 who love to spell and count. The board is made of a combination of wood and plastic, creating a durable toy that is sure to last for years to come. Its circular (approx. 9” diameter) shape adds a unique touch and makes it stand out among other vintage toys. There are 32 wooden tiles with alphabet on one side, and numbers, plus, minus, and equals sign on the reverse. The toy is in great shape and has been well-maintained. There are no cracks in the plastic and the painted design is still clear and bright. Original box is also in very good condition – no tape, no broken corners, but it has a few bends / wrinkles, and a stray mark or two. Please look carefully at the photos; there are only 34 tiles, so there are not a lot of duplicate letters. (This item was previously gifted, but returned because recipient expected more duplicates.) This toy would make a great Christmas gift for that young child in your life. The great condition also makes this a perfect gift for a collector of vintage and antique toys. Similar items are currently listed on a popular on-line auction site. ;-) But here, this item is free! Convenient no-contact, porch pickup. If interested, indicate the day and time you will pick up. Thank you.

Free: New Laserjet toner cartridges (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 170d - Free, five (5) "Premium Toner Cartridges", for use in HP Canon and other brand color LaserJet printers. Compatible with HP Color LaserJet 1600, 2600, 2605, CM1015, CM1017, Canon LBP5000, and LBP5100. These toner cartridges have not been opened, and are in the original packaging. These currently sell on-line for approximately $30 each. The part numbers are as follows: • HE-Q6003A Magenta • HE-Q6001A Cyan • HE-Q6002A Yellow • HE-6000A Black (quantity 2) Our old, reliable, workhorse HP Laser-jet, which used these cartridges, died after we ordered the toner, but before we installed the new toner cartridges. We replaced the printer with one that is not compatible with these cartridges, and so can't use them. Disclaimer: There is no date on the outer packaging, but they have been sitting on the shelf in the home office for a while. I cannot vouch for their quality, as I don't know what their shelf life would be. If you are interested, please provide a date and time window that you will pick up. Due to the monetary value, I don't want to leave these on our front porch for very long -- we have porch pirates active in the area. Not available for pickup tonight (Thursday, Nov. 16).

Free: Neato robotic vacuum accessories (DeAnza Blvd - Stvns Crk & 280) Gifted 173d - If you have a Neato Botvac, and need new and used spare parts, this post is for you. On offer are spare parts for your Neato Botvac robotic vacuum cleaner, some new, some used: Small side circular brushes – 2 brand new in packaging and 3 used (1 very lightly used); Filters: 3 used (1 inside vac); Battery – new (tried to charge it but failed); Battery – used; may or may not be good; Robot vacuum unit – used (no battery inside); Robotic vacuum charger – used; Original Instruction booklet. Our Neato Botvac 65 robotic vacuum cleaner (purchased from Costco Dec. 2014 for $300) has stopped charging its battery. I purchased a new battery, but it does not charge up enough to use the vacuum. I don’t know if the problem is the battery charger, the vacuum itself, or a faulty battery. Entire package is available to you, including the robotic vacuum and charging station. If you are handy, the spare parts could be useful in extending the life of your Neato Botvac. This model was sold only by Costco, but is compatible with several other models sold elsewhere. This offer will close Friday evening, Nov. 17. If the unit and its parts are not picked up by Friday, the vacuum will go to the DeAnza Recycling event on Saturday morning. The spare parts will go in the trash. I will maintain a waiting list if there are several interested people. Preference will be given to the person who will take all.
