Help me find the floor in my office! This is all stuff literally laying around that doesn't fit the space!
Payment via some digital means is always welcome: Paypal F&F, Venmo, Zelle. Personal checks reluctantly (very reluctantly) accepted. No money orders or cashiers checks please. All shipping is done via FedEx ground. Prices quotes are for lower-48 States. No HI/AK. I'll ship promptly, but I obviously cannot guarantee Christmas delivery.

Item 11 - Sort of a sad situation. I had it all packed up to send to a dear friend and PH that recently passed.
