But Wait…There’s More!

OK, Nashville Free Yardsale Shoppers. We have some additions to our inventory.

Here’s a completely new and unused home car wash kit. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but RUABelle isn’t exactly fastidious about automobile cleanliness and I get my company car washed for free.

Here’s three tools of weed and grass destruction. We’re not sticklers for yard edging anymore.

If you were the one who gave me this 1.5 quart vacuum bottle for Christmas, I apologize for giving it away. I can’t remember when I got it or who gave it to me. Feel free to come take it back and give it to me again for Kwanzaa.

A bucket of mardi gras beads collected from numerous trips to New Orleans. Just add rum and stir.

For your crafty finger-amputating pleasure, we have a jigsaw, a Ryobi hand corner edger and an auger saw box. I have decided to replace all the tools in my tool box with one item…a telephone.

Here’s a close-up of the golf clubs. I know somebody has a kid out there who would like to hack up your yard with these things. Maybe you can use them if the lawn tools have already been claimed.

Perfectly good set of jumper cables. Apparently these things reproduce when left in cool, dark places because we have about five sets of them for two cars.

I think we have 2-3 boxes of VHS tapes thanks to my gullibility and multiple memberships to Columbia House. Hell, there might even be some Betamaxes in there. If you find one titled “Our Trip to Hedonism II,” I’d like that back…

Some ice bucket/shot glass sets. Apparently doing shots alone loses some of its luster after you get a day job.

A really expensive, heavy-ass wrought iron deck umbrella stand that doesn’t fit under the table we have outside. You’ll have to ask me really nicely to help you carry this sumbitch up the steps.

Coolers. Could probably use a good Cloroxing, but otherwise quite serviceable.

Two sets of crutches. Why do I keep these around? Am I hoping that I’ll ever need to use them again? Bad juju.

Pallet o’ random electronic stuff. Lots of cordless phones and intercom systems. We never answered whenever we tried to call each other anyway. Now we just text. There’s also an old NES system too if you’re tired of waiting for that Wii.

I think this is an electric paint roller set. I can’t believe we ever paid for something like this. Maybe it was an anonymous gift from the neighborhood association. Hint, hint.

An old Wall Street Powerbook. System 7 kicked ass in its day.

Some sorta low tech step climber. No electronics or adjustabililty. Good for keeping tweenage children occupied between Disney shows.

And finally, this is a beautiful 6 foot braided hibiscus plant that we’ve had for almost ten years. It is hale and healthy with gorgeous red blooms. But it needs to come inside every winter and the exact quote this spring was, “I (grunt) will (ugh) NEVER (groan) drag (ouch) this (unh) piece (ow) of crap through our house again!” Please come give it a good home, especially if you have a garage or something to haul it into during football season.

So NOW what would you not pay?! Operators are standing by.

    Ha! The MX 50 – isn’t this category of excercise equipment always an instant yardsale item? It’s always the ones that simulate moving through the world – biking, walking, climbing… it’s like we think “If only I could pretend I was doing the things I should, or at least had a machine to do it on…”

    OOOH! Please set aside the power tools for me. I’ve been wanting a jigsaw for years. And other power tools. I finally got rid of my mower and have room in the shed for fun stuff.

    There was a time when I’d want the lawn tools, too but the only yard work I do now is pull up poison ivy.

    Laura Creekmore connected me with you — what a great idea! May inspire me to clean out my own garage ….

    Would love to take the turkey fryer and coolers off your hands. The turkey fryer will find a good home frying turkeys at Thanksgiving as a fundraiser at my church for service projects — so if you cna find a way to deduct it from your taxes ….

    If you would please send me the location of where I can claim this fabulous booty — and thanks!

    Lesley-Power tools=check. Fishwreck already claimed the jigsaw, so you might want to give him the finger next time you see him. He might need an extra.

    William-turkey fryer and all sorts of extra accouterments are yours. I’ll email you directly regarding pick-up or delivery.

  5. Colleen Says:

    Ooo!! I would LOVE the car cleaning kit! Please email me with pick up location!

  6. ceeelcee Says:

    Colleen, your car will thank you. And I’ll throw in some beads.

  7. Kathy T. Says:

    You’ll have to show us your man-boobs before we take your beads.

  8. ceeelcee Says:

    Kathy T, I don’t think it works that way…

    Beth-the jumper cables are yours. Well not yet, but they will be after you pick them up.

  9. WonderDawg Says:

    I would be into the plant and PowerBook – but I’m on the road until Wednesday – can you help a brother out?

  10. John Says:

    The Power Book looks cool but you probably sold it already.
