new in box (never used) tea set - $5
This set was given to me recently and I just don't have the space for it. Makes a great gift for a serious tea drinker.
From the wrapping, it was clear to me that it came from Uncle Jer's in Los Feliz and cost a great deal more than $5
It's a dark charcoal color with brown accents. The cups are small (as is the pot). Perfect for jasmin tea at the end of a lovely dinner.
DirecTv receiver box - FREE!
This receiver worked well the last time I used it. I got a new one with Tivo included, so I don't have need for this anymore. Spring cleaning!
This doesn't have the computer chip/card that lets you receive images from the dish. You'll have to have your own. This is great for someone who didn't get insurance and something happened to their receiver box.
It comes with the original working remote (the plastic has been chewed a bit by my dog when he was a puppy) that was also working well the last time I used this unit.

cross-cut shredder - $5
Strips are outre for shredding. Cross-cut is in!
But I have 2 of these and need to get rid of one, so you win.
This shredder is about 2 years old and has been used for household shredding.
My very excitable dog did gnaw on the end of the cord. It has been repaired and the plug has been replaced. It's completely safe and there are no exposed electrical wires, but the resultant cord is on the short side.
You need this shredder. You want this shredder. This shredder will amuse and entertain you for hours
