Help me fix up the home office!

The home office needs a bit more space, and an office chair that doesn’t suck. Buy some of my stuff, and I’ll have more storage space, and maybe enough to get a nice office chair that will accommodate my 50 hour work weeks, or get rid of the carpet full of allergens.

I give away free hosting to charities and local community groups, so you’ll be helping them out indirectly.  :-)

The following items have been posted in a few places online. They’ll be added to eBay, Kijiji and Craigslist as time allows. Contact me before then and we can both avoid the complications of those systems.

$100 House Piccolo Gift Certificate: $90 SOLD
Yes, it’s a $100 gift certificate selling for $90.
House Piccolo may be the best restaurant on Salt Spring Island. This certificate has no expiration date.

RIGID Compact Drill, 18V, NEW in box: $190 SOLD
Comes with 2 lithium-ion (LiON) batteries, smart charger, and a heavy duty tool bag.

I paid CAD $222.88 at Home Depot and I’m asking 15% less: $190.

Please save me a trip off island to return it!

Canon Camera Package: S3-IS, lenses, memory, more: $300 SOLD
Great image quality, 12x zoom, 8MP, fantastic movie mode to rival many camcorders, and AA power perfect for travelling. Add in a 1.54x teleconverter for more than 18x optical zoom, a wide angle converter lens, LensMate protection, a rubber eye cup, and a fast 4GB SD memory card and it’s a versatile, economical package that makes great photos. The equivalent of more than $600 if new.

Custom Recumbent Bicycle: $750
Handmade, hand built lowracer recumbent with 42-speed drive train, rear suspension (easily converted to full suspension), a Rans seat, custom-built wheels and Magura hydraulic brakes. More than USD $1500 in components, ridden less than 500 miles. Would make a good recumbent tourer with a bit of TLC, or a great component kit for your own mountain or touring frame build. Contact me for details.

Will trade for a Dahon Smoothhound.

Epson Style Photo R1800 Printer

• 7 ink cartridges installed plus 12 new ones
• tray for printing on CDs & DVDs
• trays for art papers
• roll holders for printing on roll paper (print up to 13 x 44 inches!)

Uses 7 ink colours and a gloss optimizer for gallery quality photo prints. Like doing your own giclee printing at home.

This combination sells for more than $700 new.

Note: the cyan print head on this machine is clogged. I am including a print head cleaning kit made specifically for Epson machines. You’ll need to buy a cyan ink cartridge to clean and test it before you can start printing.

Compatible with Mac, PC, and many cameras that can print directly. Epson inks have 100 to 200 year life.

Has had excellent reviews! Including, “A perfect printer for the budget-minded photo fanatic, the medium-format Epson Stylus Photo R1800 delivers long-lasting, exhibition-quality color prints.”

I take PayPal, cash or money orders. I’ll deliver on Salt Spring Island, and the immediate area, depending on the location and timing, or I can courier it or mail it, or you can come and pick it up. Happy to answer questions, just contact me or leave a comment below.
