Leather sofa (Astoria)
Comfortable and cushions and frame in good shape but not cosmetically great. The leather got kind of sticky one summer and some velvet stuck to it (that’s what the fuzzy texture is in one photo) and also some white stuff stuck to one back cushion. I have had it covered with fabric, attached with a strip of Velcro along the back cushions, and that is stuck on with contact cement. Overall fine man cave material, or some emergency furniture before you find something better — or maybe cover it with fabric and it’s fine for a while. Measures 82” x 36” x 32” H (back cushions — frame is more like 29”). Smoke and pet free.

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.

Zagg Bluetooth keyboard (Astoria)
Expired
This is a keyboard/case for the older style iPad Minis (the ones with rounded edges) but really it could work as just a keyboard for any kind of smaller tablet. The little tray holder is magnetized so you could prop up and hold any slim device. It still holds a charge for a long time and I have found it pretty easy to type on for a small keyboard.

Works fine! Good for ergonomics.

Arabic books (Astoria)
Expired
These are all translations of English books, so if you got a copy of the original, it would be handy for self-study for both English and Arabic. Or of course if any of these just look interesting for their own sake! There are two Ray Bradbury books (left upper and lower). Center upper: Jan's Story, lower: Charles Mills and the New Left. Right, upper: Sears Baby Book, lower is Epistemology, by Ernest Sosa.

I think we used this with a socket wrench to get something off our boiler once. Never used since!

Nothing wrong with it. We just got a better one.

Canon printer ink cartridges (Astoria)
Expired
Zoom in to see the model number. I’m honestly not sure if they’re still usable. We got rid of this printer a couple of years ago and I only just found the cartridges in a drawer, so they’re old.

Cork boards (Astoria)
Gifted
Green one is 18x18 inches. Yellow is about 18x22 inches. Cork is a bit shallow for my liking — you might want to add another layer to make these most useful.

IBM Selectric typewriter (Astoria)
Expired
Currently does not work (see second photo) but can be repaired. My husband has just gotten sick of getting it fixed every so often. It weighs a ton, so plan accordingly for pickup.

Curb alert: scrap metal (Astoria)
Gifted
Looks like a ramp from a truck, possibly? In front of 31-24 28th Road, Astoria. Tomorrow is trash pickup. (Just the messenger — can’t answer more questions!)

LEFT thumb splint (Astoria)
Expired
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.

We got one of the new 25 gallon ones and don’t need this one anymore! Please take! (It’s not *sparkling* inside but it’s not gunky either.)

Dell 25-inch monitor (Astoria)

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)

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)

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.
