    I'm prepping to move and looking to get rid of some stuff. Yours for the price of shipping within the US, or free if you want to come pick it up in person. I live on the west side of Cleveland, OH.
    • EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked ACX 2GB video card. Used.
    • Two Noctua NF-P14S redux-1500 PWM 140mm fans. Never used.
    • Seasonic S12G 450W power supply. Used.
    • Apple Watch Solo Loop band, Deep Navy, size 7. Never used (doesn't fit me). I believe this color is discontinued.
    • Two USB-C to HDMI adapters, Insignia (Best Buy) brand, model number NS-PA3CHD. Briefly used.
    • MoKo case with hand strap for Microsoft Surface Pro, probably this one. Never used. (I ordered a Surface Go case, but received this. I tried to return it and they said to keep it.)

    If anyone has a working cell phone, I'm in need of one. Mine decided the battery is finally dead this morning and my wife's phone battery got all spicy a week or two ago so my phone savings went to a new one for her. Doesn't need to be anything fancy, just able to make and receive calls. I've got a SIM with snap on spacers so pretty much anything will work and is better than nothing at this stage. My ZIP is 98103 for shipping purposes if anyone happens to have anything on hand.

    Edited to note Zich has an option for me so I should be covered.

    I have looked, but I haven't found it yet. I'm fairly sure I have not yet discarded all my SCSI stuff because I still have a couple of drives I've seen somewhere recently.

    @Ligushka - I didn't find what you are looking for (yet). I did find a couple of SCSI controllers though (a Tekram and an Adaptec I think), and an internal LVD ribbon with a terminator.

    Honestly, I'm not sure if it's even worth the shipping cost to you, but I have 4x USB AC adapters and 1x car 12V USB-A charger up for grabs. Shipping is from Vancouver, Canada, hence why I say I don't know if the shipping cost is worth it... but I'll make these available for a week (say EOD Dec 1) before I put them up locally.

    All of them are 1A charging, so good for 5W. Good enough for charging up a phone overnight, or keeping a Roku/Firestick powered, etc.

    I have an old NUC and a newer cable modem that somehow missed the latest trip to the electronics recycling center during my last purge. Figured if anyone wants them they can have them. Should be hanging on to them for a month or so.

    NUC: D34010WYB, Intel® Core™ i3-4010U Processor (3M Cache, 1.70 GHz), has 16G DDR3 SODIMMs + wifi but no mSATA hard drive. Date of manufacture 2013. Untested but presumed good. Not even sure I remember what I was using this for. I should be able to find the AC/DC (12-19V) adapter to include. If they were DDR4's I'd part em out for you asbath.

    Cable modem: SB8200. Pulled when Comcast upgraded speed as this only goes up to ~1G. Still on Comcast's supported devices up to 800 Mbps. Will include the modem + AC/DC adapter.

    Actually I'd be interested in the NUC anyways. I know some little pre-teens who could really benefit from not using moms work laptop all the time, if it's still available

    I don’t know if those are textbooks, but our library won’t take science/technical ones that are more than 5 years old.

    Agreed. Don't think I haven't tried. Basically, I'm finding I can't give non-fiction books books away, locally, regionally, or nationally. We had some fiction books that a local bookshop took off our hands. And they were stacked to the ceiling in there. If anyone knows of places that will take them, let me know and I'll ship them over.
    I'll add I'm finding the same for old PC entertainment software. Back from 1990s to 2000s time frame. I have a box here that I also can't give away and the weight, i.e. cost of shipping and not even knowing of the disk are still readable are also impediments to finding new homes.

    Soapbox - If you're getting older and don't want to see your belongings go to a landfill, get started clearing out early. Having recently helped a few parents downsize has driven home how worthless are belonings are to anyone else but ourselves. /soapbox

    Are old Core 2 systems landfill worthy by now? I have old Core 2 Duo E6750 and Core 2 Quad Q9550 systems taking up space that I'd hope are not just e-waste. Complete systems in CoolerMaster cases, no drives, 4GB RAM. C2D has a Plextor PX-708A DVD-RW

    That Q9550 was a hot rod back in the day, chewed through my DivX encodes lol

    What is the motherboard on the E6550, if you don't mind checking?

    GIGABYTE GA-G33M-DS2R

    And it's actually an E6750, realized Newegg does go back that far, you just have to search your orders

    The Q9550 is on a GIGABYTE GA-EG31M-S2, Antec 380W Earthwatts PSU

    Both have Arctic Freezer 7 Pro coolers and 2x2GB DDR2 800 and are in Cooler Master Centurion 5. E6750 has I believe a Radeon 9600 GPU

    Blast from the past seeing all these old orders and the prices

    Possibly a long shot here, but does anyone have a working backlit keyboard for a Lenovo T490?

    I picked up a deal on a seconhand laptop and thought it would be easy to find a replacement since the installed keyboard is missing the backlight. After failing with two no-name replacement attempts not fully functioning properly/being recognized as genuine Synaptics hardware, I'm feeling a little bummed. Bringing the laptop to an authorized repair shop for a guaranteed replacement (Lenovo won't allow them to sell parts) would be nearly the price I paid for the laptop.

    So, if you have a T490 backlit keyboard (not looking for any other parts of the laptop) that isn't being used anymore, and hasn't been sent to the electronics recycler, I'd appreciate the kindness.
