Tankini is the choice I last made and is one I'll stick with.

I've moved things around in the garage and done some modest sweeping (in order to not stir up dust from mouse droppings). There are two offers up right now, and I may taken them both down again. I put up bags of pasta and frozen tortillas on the private FB group, thinking at the end of the month there might be a mom needing to stretch the budget. If someone does claim it I may add a jar of pasta sauce to make a meal. The bandsaw is problematic - whoever sold it to me may have known it was recalled, or maybe didn't. They could have gotten more for it by sending a part back to Ryobi for the recall offer (at the time.) I could take the saw mechanism off and put the table at the curb and see if it goes away that way. I suspect it can be repurposed in a workshop. The recall is the problem (they didn't just fix it, Ryobi wanted all of them back and destroyed.) I'll give the online offers until this evening to get a response before going to plan B. All of this started because someone announced she was looking for scrap ceramic tile and I now have a more organized area where the yard and garden gear in the garage resides.

I've made progress on the eBay listings, and as I learn about some of these items I realize they are things I could focus on in the future (if I decide to go back to buying thrift store stuff to sell.) The glass has a history and old online catalogs are available to pinpoint production years. But wait - I'm trying to empty the front room so I can do other things with it, so I'm not heading out to shop any time soon.
