Wish List
From Fozzee.net
This page contains my general thoughts on stuff I'm either looking for, or wish I wasn't finding so often. If you happen to have something on my wishlist, let me know. Same goes if you want something on my "Wish it was gone (have)" list. As for "want" items, I'm not opposed to taking things that I might need to work on before they're worth having...
This page was recently renamed from "Junk Exchange" because it's basically a "what I'm looking for and/or that you can gift me" list, these days. It'll still have some 3rd party resource information, but that's not the focus.

Junk Exchange Resources
- craigslist - Free, Online classifieds, for your city.
- Freecycle - Uses Yahoo Groups to facilitate transfer of stuff. Highly political. Read my Freecycle Rant.
Want / Buy
The things on the list below are mostly examples of things I'm (in a very general sense) in the market for. I'm not likely to run out and buy a whole machine shop, or every hand tool known to man, but, as I stumble across good uses for or deals on these things, I'll slowly cross them off the "wish list" and put them on the "in my garage" list (yet to come)... Obviously, if you have a good line on something here, I'm all ears. Let me know. I'm not the least bit afraid of older or beat to hell stuff, or equipment that might need some work.
