2014 Subaru Crosstrek (Burnt Orange Color) AWD, 140,000k miles, no accidents, interior is in good clean condition, non-smoking owner. I just had new 75,000 tires and new brake pads and rotors done last week. (cost me $1500).
Known issues: AC blows cold and then tuckers out. I push the button off for a few minutes and then it works again. There is also a clanking sound when it takes sharp turns. Other than that she’s in great condition and I’d love to sell her for $6000.

2006 Honda Civic DX Coupe 5spd manual
Nice commuter car. Averages 35 mpg. She ain’t pretty but she runs like a dream. Good sound system. The good: Recent brake job, front disks and pads, new clutch. The bad: Burns a little oil—needs topping off every other tank of gas—just a bad valve cover gasket. The ugly: She’s missing some paint, got backed into in the Ingles parking lot. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d love to give her another loving home where she can run for another hundred thousand miles. Link for photos.

A friend who has made trips to Peru to study the shamanic way of Ayahuasca asked a favor of me during the Covid. Her teacher depended on income from the people who came to study with him. During Covid, no people = no income. He sculpts wachuma cups from rock found near the ancient temples near Chavin, Peru. These are used as part of the Ayahuasca ceremony. To help him I purchased 2 of these cups with the faith that when I needed the money I spent the buyer(s) would appear. The original cost of each was $ 250 with $ 80 for shipping. I am willing to sell them separately for $ 230 each or $ 420 for both. Email for pictures.

The infrared sauna is still here, so I guess more information is in order. This is a personal portable sauna, Therasage model 60, the original. Looks like a giant kleenex box with your head sticking out. This model was replaced a few years ago by the 360, which also features red light panels (for $1300). An upgrade kit is available to add red light to this sauna but it is complete as an infrared sauna as it is. $400, still negotiable. Please see: Therasage.com

‘Lulu’ was found on the side of the road with no collar or microchip. We took her to the Humane Society to try to find her owner, but no one has claimed her. We've had her for just over a week. We can't keep her and teach her to be completely house trained.
Details: 5-6 years old, maybe 15 lbs, mutt (probably blue tick, beagle, dachshund mix). She's healthy & very cute, cuddly, gentle and quiet. She doesn't mind our cat at all (but he hates her).
