LEFT thumb splint (Astoria)
Great German-made quality. I wore it for an afternoon and realized it wasn’t what I needed. This is shaped for a LEFT hand. Size per box is “1” — see circled measurements on box photo.

New hot water bottle (Astoria)
Gifted
Never used. Pickup only.

Fish oil capsules (Astoria)
Gifted
The dosage on these is too strong for me! Bottle is mostly full — probably took about 14 of them. 1400mg total, 646mg EPA and 253mg DHA.

Office chair feet (5) (Astoria)
Promised
Don’t want your chair to roll? Swap in these feet instead. They’re smooth on the bottom so they still slide a little on a carpet.

Dell 25-inch monitor (Astoria)
Promised
DELL U2518D, DisplayPort 2560 X 1440. Rotates vertical if you want. (Sorry for random photo — just proof of life!) Works fine but not as bright as it once was. Maybe 80%?

Lightbulbs — 1 flood, 3 “flame” (Astoria)
Gifted
Ideally you’d take them all! But willing to split up. Barely used — I think they still have a lot of life in them.

Assorted medicine bottles (Astoria)
Expired
Mostly brown. One nice bigger blue one. All with caps, most with droppers. All washed in a dishwasher but a lot of labels still on.

Enameled cast iron pot — some chips (Astoria)
Expired
Some old vintage brand, I think Descoware— I got it in a thrift store about 20 years ago. (Fun fact: exact same one is in the kitchen in Georgia O’Keeffe’s house in NM.) Enamel started to chip and I started using it for baking bread. The scorching inside can be scoured out. I’m not sure I’d use it to cook, but it does work great for bread. Capacity is about 4 quarts, maybe 5?

Office chair wheels (5) (Astoria)

New. Fairly standard size pins but also can give you the slightly larger pins to swap in if your chair requires. They are very easy to switch in and out.

Adjustable chair (Astoria)
Gifted
Please someone take this cursed Kickstarter chair away. It’s physically a good chair, well built, adjusts in all snazzy ways. (See BeYou Furniture for details.) It’s like new — only used a few months. But it is NOT GOOD for shorter people working at a standard height desk — the max seat height is about 2 inches lower than standard office chairs go. I’m 5’5” and it’s just too annoyingly short — I really hurt my elbow using my mouse with it. EDITED: I was misremembering how the casters work -- the chair does roll with no weight on it, so conceivably if you lived nearby in Astoria, you could just roll this home down the sidewalk. Still, it weighs something like 60 pounds, so a car would be better for pickup.

Fish oil pills: high DHA (Astoria)
Gifted
Bought the wrong ratio for me. These are high DHA. Package has been opened and I took a couple before I realized I had the DHA/EPA ratio backward.

Polaroid digital camera (Astoria)
Gifted
Prints on ZINK paper — includes two packs and what’s in the camera now. This is I think the first generation of this camera. The door for the paper doesn’t latch shut reliably—you could tape it. It’s a little low tech by curr by standards but fun. Really impresses kids! For pickup only.

Mini digital film scanner (Astoria)
Gifted
Practically new—I just used it to scan a couple hundred slides and don’t need it now. For pickup only.

Battery for Dyson vacuum cleaner (Astoria)
Gifted
Still holds a charge. I’m pretty sure this is for a Dyson V10, but please double-check it will work with yours! Pickup only.

2 lightbulbs (Astoria)
Expired
Left one is a goofy fake candle flame effect. Right one is a big bright floodlight. For pickup only. Update: there are two of the fake-flame ones.

Outlet and switch plates (Astoria)

The silver outlet plate has some rust spots. Others are fine. For pickup only.

Shelf dividers (Astoria)

These slide onto a shelf and make a vertical edge — I was using them in my closet shelves to keep my stacks of pants separate. For pickup only.

Dryer vent cleaner (Astoria)

Used once. You attach it to a power drill and push it through your dryer vent. Does the job! For pickup only.

A little beat up, as you can see from the pic. But also still fun colors!

IKEA office chair (Astoria)
Gifted
The photo is making this look a little fresher than it is! No actual damage but it has been used for many years and is kind of dingy. The foam seat is a little flat too. But it’s been a surprisingly good chair all this time and may still have some life left. For pickup only.

Queen Casper (?) mattress *SAT AM (Rockaway Beach (Marina 59))
Gifted
"One of these online ship and pop open brands" (says my friend who bought it, she thinks Casper) mattresses, queen size, good condition. It has been on a houseboat in Marina 59 in Rockaway Beach for the past two years and used only occasionally, so it's still in good shape. No bedbugs! No stains as far as I know (I haven't seen it in months). We need to get rid of it tomorrow before noon, and we will only be at the boat tomorrow (Saturday) morning (not tonight, Friday). You must pick it up from the marina -- unless you live right nearby or on the way from Rockaway to JFK, and then we can drop it by; we have a rented SUV but it's due back at JFK at 1pm. Message if this sounds workable -- I hate to see this go in the trash, but we can't leave things hanging around at the marina, and we don't normally have a car to take it anywhere.
