Old time forum member returns to sell 24/40 collection

Hello everyone! I used to participate in the community under the name "Quantum". I loved chemistry and got pretty into it for a few years. Now I'm in college studying gender studies with a minor in mathematics & biology. I've got some serious challenges in my life apart from college and I need to pay for some medical expenses I can't get covered by insurance. My parents are no longer supporting me and I'm trying to raise money. I have a collection of 24/40 glassware I'd love to sell to forum members.

Here is an imgur gallery of all my glass: Quantum's 24/40 Collection

Most of this glass was obtained from our friends at United Glass Tech.

Here is a list of what I have:
Claisen Adapter

Vacuum Bent Adapter

3-way distilling adaptor

Thermometer Adapter (with nylon bushing and I can include a 400C mercury thermometer)

Liebig/West type Condenser (not sure how long it is but I can check if someone is interested)

Allihn Condenser (not sure how long it is but I can check)

Vigreux Column (not sure how long it is either)

250mL Addition Funnel with teflon stopper - the stopper has been stored properly and is *not* stuck in the funnel

1 Liter RBF 1-neck with a star crack - I'm willing to sell this for next to nothing if anyone wants it

500mL 3-neck RBF flawless

1 Liter 1-neck RBF flawless

250ml 1-neck RBF flawless

250ml 1-neck RBF - some permanganate type stains but it's totally functional

100mL 1-neck RBF flawless

50mL 1-neck teardrop flask

2 stoppers with teflon rings on them

1 thermometer adaptor with a teflon ring on it

Addition Adaptor with 3 joints total

I can either sell this as one lot or in separate packages to different members. I've got the glass in storage at my parent's house so if anyone has more specific questions or more photos just ask and I can go over there and get whatever information you'd like.

I'm not going to list specific prices for each item individually or the whole collection just yet - make me offers! If need be I will price items and if I can't get enough interest on this forum I'll investigate online auction sites. I want to give members here the opportunity to get some discount, high quality glass and to support the community

Only an American would assume that global location is an unnecessary detail.

With their standard shipping rate, that comes to $27.18, so I would expect to pay less than that. Its a small order though, and I understand that overseas shipping from america is not cheap so dont worry if that kind of price isn't worth your time.

check your u2u

Quantum,

i would be interested in the Thermometer adapter, claisen adapter and the vigreux condenser. Could you tell me the length when you get around to measuring it

UGT is high quality glassware. If this stuff is all UGT, then that is a 200mm west condenser (new for $51 on their site), The Vigreux looks to be the 100mm model ($27.50 new), et cetera. Their thermometer adapters hold a vacuum seal very well (I have a teflon bushing one) but the o-rings have a short lifetime. They are surprisingly susceptible to polar solvents. However, Ive bought quite a few cheap replacements at http://www.theoringstore.com/. get the metric viton 75 KFM stuff. Id let you know what I got but they've added a lot of new stuff and the baggie is only labelled with a defunct part number. It used to be CO8v75 if you'd like to inquire.

I may be interested in the vigreux and the thermometer (not the adapter, though). If it hasn't already been shipped off with the adapter, that is. If neither are available, I will certainly be okay with what I already have. (As I await a third order from Dr. Bob.)
