Lovely Karastan rug for sale
by Andrea Leavitt 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello neighbors! Due to my apparent inability to use a tape measure accurately, I have ended up purchasing a Karastan rug from eBay that is way too large for it's intended space! ( Too large for any other space in my house as well... ) Returning it isn't an option, so I'm hoping I can find a new home for this truly lovely carpet. Details - Discontinued Karastan Samovar Tea Wash Collection 900-901 series "Persian Vase" 8'8 x 12 Excellent condition, professionally cleaned, from a smoke free, pet free home. See photo below Paid $1600.00 asking $1000.00 firm. ( Also - To add to my embarrassment, I also have a brand new, unopened rug pad that I purchased for said rug that I'll toss in the mix. ) All best, Andrea

FOR SALE - AMD a8-6600k quad core CPU/APU (3.9ghz)
by Timothy Fleischmann 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Selling an AMD a8-6600k quad core APU with Radeon 8570 graphics processor. Stock speed is 3.9ghz but you can use AMD's driver to overclock it very easily. This chip is a great choice for a budget-minded gamer who wants to play games that aren't overly demanding, and will run most games at medium settings at a playable framerate without the need for a dedicated graphics card. Think of an APU as a CPU and graphics card on one chip. Chipset is fm2/fm2+ Condition: Gently used. I used this chip for about 3 months before switching to a dedicated graphics card and new CPU as I started playing more demanding games. It's never been overclocked beyond running the AMD tuning tests, and has been watercooled and used with high-grade thermal paste (Gelid gc-extreme) for the entire time I've had it. It's not been overworked, abused, or compromised in any way. I'm an enthusiast and I take care of my components. It comes with a stock heatsink/fan combo which works fine at stock speeds but I do recommend upgrading if you plan on overclocking this chip. Asking $90 OBO since this chip sells for around $100 used on ebay. Located in Oakland/Shadyside near CMU

For Sale: NICE Cuckoo Rice Cooker new w/o box $200 OBO (Shadyside)
by Timothy Fleischmann 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Selling my rice cooker. Was never used, I bought it when I was dating an Asian girl because she wanted one. Now I'm single and have a rice cooker that I don't even know how to use. It retails for around $350, 6 cup capacity, has a really nice looking clock/display and even talks to you (which I find kinda creepy but I guess that's a feature) in Korean, so you could even use it to learn some fancy new linguistic skills. Comes with some accessories - the little platform strainer dish and rice scooper/spoon type thing - I don't think there was anything else with it. It works fine, just sick of it taking up space in my kitchen and talking to me in the middle of the night and freaking me out. Great gift for the rice lover in your life or for those of you trying to adopt an Asian-style diet for health purposes.

by Robert Hickam 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hi, We are looking for either a recommendation for someone who could repair/replace our side yard fence or a direct response from someone who might have the bandwidth to do it in the next few weeks. It's been in a state of disrepair for a while and the storms last week just mad it even worse. Thanks!
