    Any books I'd be interested in (math/physics)?

      I don't plan on getting rid of those .

      I did stop buying a couple new books a year when I became an experimentalist though. That might have been a mistake, my physics/maths skills really dropped for a bit there.

          When I bought a house with an above-ground pool I put an ad for the pool on craigslist specifying that the buyer had to be local, and within a few days I'd gotten about three or four responses from Nigerians who were interested in buying it for more than I was asking for it but then I'd have to mail them a check for the difference. So I put it on Freecycle and within two days a redneck family stopped by and carted the thing away.

            Ask a relative if they can store it for you (offer to pay them), else, you can get some storage. Doesn't sound like you need too much, so ask around and work out a contract with them since you know how long you will be there.
            We're sorry, the voices in my head are not available at this time. Please try back again soon.

                If you expect to want it when you return, put it in storage. Old out-of-print board games sell pretty well at gaming conventions. Salvation Army and Good Will will take almost anything.

                  Some expensive toys (paintball/electric piano)
                  Board Games

                  I know that board games and books and old electronics and media don't have a very high resale value.

                  What sort of stuff that Salvation Army and Goodwill like?

                  I took down pickup truckful of stuff like that to the Goodwill. They loved it. They won't take mattresses (because of health problems) and most branches won't take bulky furniture. They had lists of stuff they really wanted, and stuff they didn't.

                  I took them ancient computer games, and they took it all.

                    I was wondering what happened to you.

                    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
