Moving overseas and need to sell off everything in my basement

Minisocks · Nov 6, 2011

My wife and I are planning on moving overseas—it's work related so we expect to be back eventually but we'll likely be overseas for a few years, at least—and taking all of our stuff is unrealistic and prohibitively expensive. Our basement is full of things we don't use anymore and, frankly, if we haven't used an item—or even unpacked it—in over a year we probably don't need it. I have some prices in mind for a few items and the rest are trade—to conform with board rules—or "make me an offer".

What I'm looking for in terms of trades:

Lever actions, prefer something in .357/.38

Shotguns: over/under, coachgun, or a saiga

Lee Enfield, preferably a Long Branch

Mauser K98

Springfield 1903

Or any firearms from WWII-ish.

An AR

If anyone is wondering why I want to trade for firearms while going overseas, I can take a few necessary pieces with me (a good over/under for example) but I can also store the remainder with my in-laws till we return.

So, without further ado, the photos for all of the listed items can be found <broken link removed>.

Omega D5XL 4x5 Enlarger, lamphouse, and floor stand. This makes me sad to get rid of because it took me a while to get all of the components together and it makes amazing prints. This particular set up, if purchased through adorama, would be about $4000 and they have none in stock (and haven't for ages). I don't expect to get that price, of course, but this setup is pretty sweet.
Beseler 4x5 Enlarger with color and b&w lamphouse + cooler.
Vivitar Tabletop Enlarger
Tilting floor enlarger of some unknown variety that is super old and really awesome (I have alot of darkroom stuff)
Color print water temperature regulator
Big and medium print dryer
Tons of darkroom gear
3 slide projectors
Dukane A-V Matic Slide Strip Player with film and cassette tape. This thing is trippy. Also you can view negatives in it which is what I used it for.
Speaking of negatives, there's a GIGANTIC light table.
Polaroid Spectra AF
