Pressure equalized addition funnels- various sizes, larger is better.
Addition funnels of larger sizes- 1 liter to? Sky's the limit.
Soxhelet extractor, PLUS THIMBLES to fit. 24/40 preferred for lower joint, also the larger the better.
Multi-necked flasks, 2,3,4 necked- What have you got? 24/40 joints preferred.
Overhead stirrer
Fritted funnels- What sizes?
Büchner funnels
Powder funnels
Stands, clamps, thermometers and adapters. What's available?
Any large sized beakers, filter flasks, vacuum pump, odd things you can't identify?
Magnetic stirrers, hot plates, combination units.
Looking forward to the inventory-

1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Thanks everyone for the info and stating your interest! My schedule is full for tomorrow but I wiIl be able to get at least a quarter of an inventory
by around 6pm (central time USA) on Friday so please check back! For those emailing me requesting specific items, I cannot guarantee I have them nor
find them by Friday so please refrain from emailing me until I have a general list of glassware. All these responses are really motivating me to get
this done so thanks everyone for the support and tips on how to takle this! Stay tuned!
Thanks
- Michael

Ok. For the aussies, here is my suggested approach.
1. I'm going to do nothing for the next few days. 'Tis the season and all that.
2. I will wait for some kind of inventory so that we can all make intelligent decisions about what we want.
3. I will dig through this thread and any U2Us that I am sent to see who is on the list of possibilities.
4. I will send out a U2U to all interested parties. I will ask where you are located and what if anything on the list you want.
5. I will send a message to the OP confirming prices and getting him to investigate shipping options and costs for US to Aus.
5. At the same time I will make enquiries as to how much it will cost to distribute within Aus.
6. Once costs are known I will send out another U2U giving all interested parties the estimated costs for their bundles. At this point we will find
out if the project is viable.
7. If it is a goer, then I will request payment (Paypal will be easiest) and arrange payment to Mikeman. For the sake of transparency I will send out
to all a spreadsheet of all dollars in and out. I am not looking to make a profit here. But I don't particularly want to be landed with extra
packaging / postage costs.
8. We all wait for the parcel to arrive.
9. It arrives. I unpack, check contents, divide up into packages and courier them off.
So, if you are interested then throw your name in this thread and/or send me a U2U and we all wait for the list to see if what we want is actually
available.
@Mikeman
I appreciate that it is a difficult job to catalogue what you have without a full unpack. That said, if you can produce a list with a bit of variety
and have captioned clear photos to accompany what you have got, you will certainly get some takers. If you don't find out what is on the bottom back
shelf for a while, that might not matter too much.
@all others
I am in Toowoomba QLD. I don't know if there are other SMers close by -- ie, within pick-up range. I believe there is someone in Brisbane, if I
recall correctly, and a drop off there may be possible.
If there was a bit of a concentration of interested members, say in Sydney for example, then it might be more cost effective to have someone other
than me as local distributor. Hence the reason for asking where you live early on. (No actual addresses needed until we get the actual order coming
through.) If someone else was willing to act as the distribution hub then ... well, let's just cross that one if the situation arises.

I am willing to act as the distribution hub IF it turns out there are more members in the sydney area than in brisbane. At the moment it looks like
most of the members are in QLD, but if it swings the other way then I'm open.

Hey everyone, I just got back from the storage and grabbed probably a tenth of the glass. I am going to start making an inventory now so it will
probably be finished in about 2-3 hours give or take an hour. I'm going to make it on a Google Sheets document and make it public so that it
automatically updates and everyone can view it. I will post the link once I have a good amount counted for so I'm not overwhelmed with requests and
questions!
Thanks for your patience! Very excited to finally start this!
Here are some pictures to keep you busy.

Oh boy, looks like you've got a bunch of loose stoppers in that one box! Depending on the sizes you have, I might want to order a few of those, as
well as some other stuff. I can't wait to see your full inventory!

Thanx Mikeman.
Looking forward to the inventory.
It might just be my phone but I couldn't make out many of thise pictures- came out a bit blurry. The clearer the pix the better informed we will be
and the faster the stuff will move.

They're mainly used in food related labs, I'm pretty sure.
Especially brewery labs (as that's what they were invented for). In the lot that I got to pick through last summer there were a ton of them.
Kjeldahl was very prominent in the development of quality control procedures and apparatuses for breweries.

How do they differ from a regular round bottom flask? They don't seem all that different.

They are round bottom flasks with very long necks (and perhaps thinner glass). Their purpose is to perform the first step of Kjeldahl nitrogen
determination, where an organic sample is digested with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate, but other gases produced (steam, CO2) escape. The
purpose of the long neck is partly to serve as an integral condenser to keep stuff from being lost from splattering, and also to connect the flask to
vapor removal manifold like so:
http://www.qclscientific.com/gerhardttraditionaldigestion.ht...
These are used in commercial labs where many samples are being processed at once.
About Kjeldahl determination method:
http://www.expotechusa.com/catalogs/labconco/pdf/KJELDAHLgui...
I didn't know any of this until I Googled for it. I even have a Kjeldahl flask but didn't know what it was called, or what it was for.
I see that 800 mL Kjeldhal flasks are on offer here, that is the same volume as mine - it must be a common size for this.

Sorry this is taking so long! I just finished the inventory of most of what I took and am now starting to price everything! There were some things I
didn't know the name of so Instead of taking my time researching them I think I will make an imgur album and give each glass piece a number and if you
want it, email me the number and I will give you a price that can be debated. If someone can think of a better way of doing it please tell me.
The inventory will probably be another hour  sorry! Just thought I would keep you
guys posted!

That's almost certainly the best way to do it. Trying to find the name of a piece of glassware can be a lengthy process. We have at least one thread
devoted to the subject, and even there some unidentified pieces remain.

Oscilllator, you need to put a "]" at the end of mikeman52011's post that you quoted to fix the little problem with
your post.
The quote is incomplete and thus everything posted after it is part of it!

OK! Here it is. After 8 hours of driving, organizing, researching, packing, unpacking, and everything else, here is the first round of inventory! I based the prices by finding a brand new match online, dividing the price by how many pieces were in the
case to get a price per piece and than I divided that number in half.
Again if you have any questions email me at schoemaker97@gmail.com and if you want to buy something I prefer paypay but there may
be some other options. Prices are not final, if you find a price that is way too high please notify me because it was probably a mistake! This is
about a tenth of all the stuff I have so if you don't find what you need, save the link because odds are I have what you're looking for!
http://goo.gl/Q7Y3Sq
I will try and do the odds and ends I have left either late tomorrow as I have work, or on Sunday.
I'm going to bed now because my eyes might fall out of their sockets...

One thing that I'd recommend you put up next is the condensers that go with the Soxhlet extractors. (the ones with the large, male ground glass joints
that fit into the extractors, if you aren't familiar with them). Most people who are interested in buying one of your extractors would probably want
to buy the matching condenser too, so putting them up together should increase your chances of getting buyers for them.
Other miscellaneous ground glass pieces will probably have a lot of takers also.

I am curious if you could tell me the capacity of your gas washing bottle. Thanks.
Edit: and yes. I am particularly interested in little things such as 24/40 ground glass powder funnels, pour out adapters, etc. Lately I haven't seen
a personal need for small orders without trying to justify a larger purchase for shipping.

I would like to buy one of the 1 liter Erlenmeyers with a 24/40 opening.
I'm not going to buy it right away, however, because I might want to buy other (as yet unposted) stuff as well, and I want everything to ship as one
order, to save on shipping.
