This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on April 19, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.
Okay, so here’s what’s up for grabs. I’ll keep this current for, oh, two weeks or so to see what I can get rid of this way, then hit the pawn shops with whatever’s left over.
Only a few conditions: buyers need to be in the Seattle area and able to come by my apartment in downtown Seattle to pick up the goods. This is only because I don’t have my own transportation to deliver anything, nor do I have the original packaging to ship equipment anywhere.
I’d ask that any interested parties respond by leaving a comment on this post, so that I can keep everything on a “first-come, first-serve” basis, rather than e-mailing me directly. Just making things as easy and as fair as possible for everyone. :)
NOTE: This post isn’t finished yet, I’m still adding things on as I get them finalized. :) Okay, everything’s up.
Update: Wow, that was fast. Assuming that none of the people that contacted me fell through, everything listed here has been spoken for. Should that change, I’ll update, of course…but at the moment, it looks like this much is wrapped up. Now to get started listing the DVDs…

Technics SA-AX6 receiver and SH-AC500D surround processor — $200 (originally purchased for around $500) CLAIMED.
- The receiver handles all the standard stereo receiver bits, including AM/FM radio, lots of inputs (CD, Tape, VCR 1 2 and 3, TV/DSS, Phono, DVD), S-Video in- and outputs. Has six 100W outputs, can be set up to run two sets of main speakers (A and B) or run a single set bi-wired.
- The surround processor adds the ability to handle both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround sound processing.
- As the processor is essentially useless without the receiver, I’d prefer to sell these as a set rather than individually.
