Free: Fish oil pills: high DHA (Astoria) Gifted 195d - 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.

Free: Polaroid digital camera (Astoria) Gifted 209d - 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.

Free: Mini digital film scanner (Astoria) Gifted 209d - Practically new—I just used it to scan a couple hundred slides and don’t need it now. For pickup only.

Free: Battery for Dyson vacuum cleaner (Astoria) Gifted 210d - 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.

Free: 2 lightbulbs (Astoria) Expired 211d - 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.

Free: Outlet and switch plates (Astoria) Expired 211d - The silver outlet plate has some rust spots. Others are fine. For pickup only.

Free: Shelf dividers (Astoria) Gifted 211d - 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.

Free: Dryer vent cleaner (Astoria) Gifted 211d - Used once. You attach it to a power drill and push it through your dryer vent. Does the job! For pickup only.

Free: New hot water bottle (Astoria) Gifted 211d - Never used. Pickup only.

Free: Storage tins (Astoria) Expired 211d - A little beat up, as you can see from the pic. But also still fun colors!

Free: IKEA office chair (Astoria) Gifted 211d - 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.

Free: Queen Casper (?) mattress *SAT AM (Rockaway Beach (Marina 59)) Gifted 1y - "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. Free: 2 lbs tahini (just opened) (Astoria) Gifted 1y - This brand just does not do it for me. Bought last week, ate a few spoonfuls. Pickup only.

Free: Canon Pixma MX882 printer / scanner (Astoria) Gifted 1y - Works fine BUT: —currently has only black text ink cartridge. Will need all other inks to print anything besides text files. —ink absorber pad is “full.” I was able to override the warning and keep printing. But technically it may eventually start leaking ink. (It’s also possible to replace the ink absorber…in theory.) —pickup only. And it’s heavy.

Free: 2 Metal butterfly chair frames (Astoria) Gifted 1y - Two black metal chair frames. They take canvas covers like this: Good easy summer lounging! Must pick up. (In theory the frames fold up, but they’ve been outside a long time and I think the hinges won’t move. They’re pretty lightweight, but a bit bulky.)
