Leaving in less than 2 weeks, and I'm getting rid of a bunch of stuff. I'll tell you how much I bought it for, and you can name your price. Be fair, please.

Stuff I want to sell
--------------------

**LG Cyon LG-SD820 Cell Phone**
Color screen, English menus, huge address book, ability to send SMS messages without having to memorize the phone number. Comes with two batteries, docking cradle, and power cord. Ex-girlfriends' phone numbers can be included for a small fee. Bought for W110,000, used, at the beginning of 2005.

**Mixman mixer/blender/cutter/pureer**
Comes with two different blades: one for chopping and one for the rest. 3 different speed / function buttons on the base. I've made smoothies, falafel, tahini, curries, salads, adult beverages, and god knows what else with this thing. Motor is more powerful than one found inside a Kia Pride. Bought at EMart for W99,000.

**bookshelf**
3 feet tall x 15" across x 1 foot deep. If you're Canadian and want the measurements in metrics, times or divide or something by 2.54 and carry the one and round to the nearest megawatt. Bought for W25,000 6 months ago. I'll throw in a set of super-stylish state-of-the-art bookends for free.

**end table**
Look at the picture. Somebody made this thing to hold stuff, and boy does it ever do it well. Metal legs similarly shaped to those of a 1920s burlesque dancer. Bought for W20,000, I think, like 9 months ago.

**fan**
It blows. Not like that. Bought for W20,000.

**vacuum**
You thought I was gonna say "it sucks," didn't you? Well, I just did. Can operate like a dust-buster, or with 3 attachments of varying length. Bought for W25,000 or so. It says "Clean Sak" on it, which warrants a small markup in price for unintentional comedic value.

**power converter**
Plug your computer, VCR, TV, hairdryer, or any other North American appliance into this bad boy. Then plug the box into your wall. Magic. Mint green color that became passe in the West about 30 years ago but is still going strong in "Dynamic Korea." Purchased new for W20,000.

**tennis racket**
Star brand tennis racket. It says "high quality tennis racket" on it, and it's made in Korea, so you know darn well that it's gonna be better than that crap Wilson, Prince, or Head put out. Bought for W30,000 and only used once or twice. People kept staring in awe as I hit forehand winner after forehand winner, so I had to retire it. I don't like the spotlight. Bought for W30,000,

**Sony MDR-CD180 headphones**
Use these when listening to your latest Burt Bachrach or Whitesnake albums. These are "big people headphones," not the little earbud ones or the cheap ones that came with your Sony Walkman in 1983. Good quality highs and lows. Bought for W35,000. Will throw in a Belkin radio tuner thingy that will allow your ipod, MP3 player, or whatever to transmit to your car/regular stereo wirelessly.

**Morning Brand cordless steam iron**
Bought about 9 months ago, perfect for prettying up slacks and shirts before you head off to the hagwon and have the kids swinging off your newly ironed clothing like Tarzan on a vine. Bought new for W20,000 and used sparingly. Ask my coworkers. (sorry...it's not in the picture. I just found it while looking for the collander to drain my pasta)




Stuff I'll give you for free if you buy something else
-------------------------------

** 2 wooden soba (���) wooden noodle dishes. Eat like a Japanese in Korea.

** a PS/2 keyboard, never used. Comes with one of those plastic covers good for use when looking up dirty movies and stuff. Once again, the keyboard was never used

** a bunch of blank CDs (like 20).

** a set of 12 kinda used oil pastels, for the burgeoning Basquiat trapped inside of you.

** 10 AAA batteries. Why I bought that many, I don't know. They were probably on sale.

That's it. I've also but up a list of books for sale. If you've read this far, you're probably qualified to buy them. Check 'em out.

Phone number and email are listed above. I prefer email since I'm a sociophobe and hate talking to people I don't know. Or not.
