This is a never used canvas head that you can put on your vanity or table to display your hats or wigs or other head gear. It has a hole on the bottom so it can also be used for hat making or wig making if you like! The head circumference is 22 inches and the vertical length is 12 inches.

I'm giving away a black carry-on size spinner luggage by IT (this brand makes the world's lightest luggage - I think this one is about 2 lbs empty).  I'm letting it go b/c the handle wobbles - not that it's in danger of coming off - it's just annoying.  If interested, please contact me here and I will get back to you for a pick-up time. 

Hi folks,
Hoping you could help with some recommendations here.  I am on the design committee of my very large co-op building and I am looking for recommendations for painting contractors who have experience doing lobbies and hallways at a large scale (my building has over 100 units).  I am seeking recommendations only from folks who live in their co-ops and either are on the board or have knowledge of the painting contractor that was used for their building.  Please recommend only contractors that you believe did a quality job - our previous contractor did not use durable paint so we are living with the consequences after just a few years...
Thanks so much! 

I'm curious to know what folks pay for electricity in this neighborhood.  My rates are higher than usual this year and I'm seriously thinking about switching to an ESCO.  Could we do an informal poll here of your costs going back the past 3 months?  How about the following setup for the poll so that we are not comparing apples to oranges - here's my info.  If 3 months is asking too much, please give the last month's bill info if you can.  I would really appreciate it and I think many of our neighbors on here would find this useful as well.  Thanks!!!

This luggage is part of the Walkabout Lite series (an earlier model than what's currently in stores). It is in great condition, measuring 22" high x 14.5" wide x 8" deep. It has an accordion zipper that allows it to expand another 2" deep. The sturdy handle activates with a push button and can be zipped up when not in use. In addition, the luggage comes with a lot of extras you would expect from TravelPro -- a foldable garment bag for your suit or dress, a toiletry bag that straps into the inside of the luggage, and a removable clip-on strap at the top of the luggage so you can attach a smaller bag to the front. It comes with lots of pockets too: two outer zippered pockets, a zippered mesh enclosure inside, and two elastic shoe pockets inside the main compartment. 

Classic black business / work tote (looks brand new) - $15
This unbranded bag has the simple look of a Tumi but without the price tag.  It's made of lightweight microfiber and can hold letter-size papers easily.  I used this for business meetings, which were rare - it can still pass for new.  Inside, it has the standard cellphone pockets, zippered wall pocket, and business card slots built in.  It also has a zippered middle divider.  Completely clean inside.  This can hold a 10” tablet easily.  I'm not so sure it can hold a heavy laptop though.  Dimensions: 14” long X 10” high X 3.5” deep


Etienne Aigner elegant black satchel bag - $10
I used this as a stylish lunch bag for work.  The inside was originally two compartments with a middle divider.  To make it work as a lunch bag for my tupperware, I cut out the divider.  Appearance-wise, only you will be able to tell that it was ever altered.  You can still use it like a normal purse, or you can make it a gym bag or a lunch bag.  Completely clean inside.  The inside includes 4 open pockets and one zippered wall pocket.   Dimensions: 12” long X 6” high X 6” deep

I have a rarely used sleek black water kettle by Bodum that I no longer use.  When I did use it, I took good care of it and the inside is clean.  It works perfectly fine and is now waiting for someone who will make better use of it.  As you can see from the pic, it is somewhat of a misnomer since the kettle is cordless, but the base is corded.  It will come in the original box and with the manual.

This is a virtually new bamboo 3 shelf storage unit that’s pretty versatile – you can use it as a shoe rack, a plant stand, towel holder in the bathroom, or as kitchen shelving. I used it in the kitchen for several months and now have permanent shelving so I don’t need this anymore. It is quite sturdy and comes in a warm honey color. The dimensions are 28 inches tall by 28 inches wide by 12 inches deep. Did I mention it looks brand new? Price is firm. Pick up only.
