Hard to find, high quality reagents and glassware for sale!
I have unpacked and sorted all of my chemicals! This thread will be updated every week or two until I have finished taking inventory.
To start this off, I have some high purity salts manufactured by Merck that are still unopened in their original packaging. Prices are in USD. I am
willing to ship these worldwide:
Potassium bromide (500 g) (2 available) $50
Potassium iodide (500 g) (2 available) $80
Cesium chloride (1 kg) (1 available) $250
Cesium bromide (250 g) (2 available) $100
Cesium iodide (1 kg) (2 available) $250
Cesium iodide (250 g) (3 available) $100
Rubidium chloride (100 g) (2 available) $200
Below is a spreadsheet with many other reagents that I'm willing to sell in variable quantities. It now contains an updated list of inorganic
chemicals and all of the bulk organic chemicals.

This file has been downloaded 475 times
I tried to set reasonable prices based on other suppliers I could find, but I didn't spend incredibly long researching, so if you find a legit
supplier with a better price, I will do my best to price-match. I am comfortable shipping many things worldwide, but international orders for less
than $50 may not be worth the cost of shipping. I'm also not willing to ship particularly toxic water-soluble salts or oxidizers overseas. This is
clarified for each item in the spreadsheet.
Finally, I have made another spreadsheet with more niche organic compounds that I have in smaller quantities (<250 g, some as low as 1 g). I didn't
want to take the time to price these since most of them are very specific. The quantities listed are the original bottle size. The actual contents may
be less, but I will measure them to confirm the precise weight on inquiry. Some of them I may want to keep a few grams of as well, so the quantity
that I'm willing to sell may be lower. If you're interested in any of these, just send me an inquiry by U2U and we can discuss quantity and price.

Update 4-21-24: Glassware is now available!
Here is a spreadsheet with all of the more standard glassware I have available:

This file has been downloaded 321 times
Unless otherwise specified, everything is of high quality American or European make and is in good to like new condition. I know it pales in
comparison to what Dr. Bob has to offer, but I do have a good selection of 24/40 distillation glassware, which I understand he is running low on.
More niche/specialty items will be posted below, with pictures.

I've been very busy the last few weeks, but I'm going to get to it this weekend. I'm aiming to have the rest of the chemicals inventoried and posted
here by Saturday night my time. The only inorganics I have left to inventory are some miscellaneous potassium and sodium salts.
Then there's a ton of organics. There's a limited number of generally useful organics that I have in large enough quantity to sell in bulk like the
inorganic salts. Off the top of my head: citric acid, phenol, benzophenone, n-butyl chloride, benzyl acetate, phthalic anhydride, phthalimide, oxalic
acid. I also have dozens of niche compounds in small quantities, some of which I'll likely never have a use for myself. I'll post those as a separate
list. Since many of them might have limited appeal, I won't take the time to price all of them. You can just make an offer if you're interested.

Just found unopened bags of aluminum sulfate and sodium sulfate decahydrate from Dharma Trading that are too cheap to be worth splitting up:
Aluminum sulfate (5 lb) (1 available) $10
Sodium sulfate decahydrate (5 lb) (1 available) $5

There really weren't a lot of inorganics left that were actually worth selling. This is all I added to that list:
Potassium periodate
Potassium iodate
Sodium sulfate, anhydrous
Sodium dithionite/hydrosulfite
Sodium metaperiodate
Sodium pyrophosphate, decahydrate
Sodium bromate
Sodium fluoride
Sodium formate
Disodium EDTA dihydrate
Sodium nitrite
See the updated spreadsheet for amounts and pricing (in the first post of this thread). It is also updated with the bulk organics. Niche organics will
be posted in a second spreadsheet tomorrow.
The only stuff that I haven't listed is liquids. I'm not sure if it's worth the risk and hassle to ship liquids. Feel free to inquire though if you
are able to pick up locally.

EL and Dr. Bob, thank you both for the good feedback!
I am happy to announce that glassware is now available! See the first post for the spreadsheet. I have some other more niche things that I will begin
posting pictures of as well. I'm also planning on putting together some "bargain bins" of things that are either impractical to use (e.g., no ground
glass joints), somewhat broken, or just plain weird.

Special Glassware
 
129: This is a cheap Chinese distillation apparatus. It actually has a bit of a story. It was the first distillation apparatus I purchased about 10 years ago. I christened it with bromine. Didn't use it for much after that because I acquired
better equipment. I sold it to Atrum several years ago, and now it has returned to me. The boiling flask takes a 24/29 stopper but I couldn't find it.
The condenser's top joint is 14/20. It's a strange little rig. I'm asking $25 for it (clamps and stands are not included).
130: Two cold traps for a vacuum system. Could also be used for gas washing. 130A is 24/40, 130B is 19/38 and has holes in the
downtube likely to prevent suckback. $15 each.
131: Miscellaneous 14/20 cow adapters. 131A and 131B require a special vacuum take-off adapter to function, which I don't have available. 131A has teflon-wrapped joints. It seems to be permanently bonded to
the glass. Pretty nice, and I've never seen anything like it before. C, D, E, and G are compatible with a 14/20 short path distillation setup. C has 4
3 mL graduated tubes. The graduations are worn off on some and it looks like it was repaired once or twice. I am reserving F to be sold with 133C
because it is the only one that fits it, unless someone elects to by 133C without it.
 
132A: Complete 24/40 cow receiver setup. Compatible glass stopcock will be provided.
132B: 19/22 cow receiver, missing distribution adapter. Comes with 1 10 mL receiver.
133A: 24/40 400 mm Vigreux column with built in still head. 10/30 thermometer joint. $40
133B: 24/40 Kontes Claisen still head with built-in 200 mm Vigreux column. 10/30 thermometer joint at top of column. $50
133C: 14/20 short-path distillation setup with built-in 200 mm Vigreux column. The column was originally vacuum jacketed, but the
jacket is broken. It still functions, just perhaps not as efficiently. 10/18 thermomter joint at top of column. Angled blue glass drip tip to be used
with cow. I recommend purchasing 131F cow receiver for compatibility. The other cows I have are too small. $100
133D: 24/40 all-in-one distillation setup. Built-in 100 mm Vigreux column with 10/30 thermometer joint at top. 200 mm West condenser,
vacuum take-off. $60
133E: 24/40 200 mm Liebig condenser with built-in still head. 10/30 thermometer joint at top of still head. $30

Old non-ground-glass condensers
134A: 600 mm Alihn condenser. Two available. $20
134B: 400 mm Alihn condenser. $15
134C: 200 mm Graham condenser. $15
Keep in mind that the 600 mm condensers will be particularly expensive to ship. I consider these a "glassblower's special," because if you have the
ability to retrofit these with 24/40 joints, it will increase their value significantly.

$1 Bargain Bin
Here's the $1 Bargain Bin glassware! Every item in these pictures costs $1. Plus, if you order at least $20 of glassware and/or chemicals, I'll throw
in one item of your choice for free, while supplies last.
 
B1A 60 mL Pyrex viscosimeter flask
B1B Absurdly long 24/40 thermometer well
B1C Kimax glass tube with tubing ports and removable plastic ends with holes and rubber O-rings. I think you could make a condenser out of this with a
suitable size piece of glass tubing?
B1D Lot of three weird tubes (if anyone has an idea of what these are, please share)
B1E Kontes glass stopcock with adapter meant to take an O-ring and metal clamp
B1F Lot of 6 pieces assorted glass tubing
B1G Pestle part for tissue grinder
B1H Thistle funnel, looks like the top of a Kipp's apparatus
B1I Strange tube with 10/18 male joint. Glass frit at tip of joint.
B1J Lot of two straight drying tubes
B1K Pyrex glass bottle ~200 mL with hose barb at base
B1L Bellco tube (cracked) full of bent glass stirring rods
B1M Kontes U-shaped tube with two male 24/40 joints
B1N Packard Shlenck bomb (?), 100 mL, 14/20 male joint
B1O 50 mL Kimax centrifuge tube, takes 19 mm ground glass stopper. I should be able to throw in a matching stopper.
B1P Lot of 3 50 mL Kimax graduated centrifuge tubes
B1Q 25 mL Kimax pear-shaped distilling flask
B1S 24/40 angled adapter
B1T Straight tube with male 24/40 joint, no joint at top

B1Y flared tube with 14/20 male joint
B1Z Kimax U-tube
B1AA Kimax bulb with hose barb
B1BB Lot of three Pyrex tubes with 24/40 male joints. I believe these are stock joints for glassblowers to use rather than having an intended use
as-is.
B1CC Lot of two weird tubes.
B1DD Lot of two Pyrex tubing "T" pieces
B1EE 50 mL Pyrex distilling flask
B1FF Pyrex 19/22 vacuum take-off adapter, bottom joint is broken

Man, you have almost as much weird stuff as I do. Good luck selling it, if anyone likes Texium's stuff, I likely have more stuff like it, but he has
even a few things I have never seen. Would be great for someone in Hollywood trying to make a scientific looking set... Maybe they can use some of
it when they make the Breaking Bad sequel, eventually.

Found some volumetric pipettes that I’m willing to sell for $2 each. Note that you’ll probably want to buy these with other items since they’re
long and the shipping for them alone would cost a lot more than the item. I have six 15 mL and ten 20 mL ones available.
Also found some new test tubes:
3 cases of 10x75 mm disposable test tubes. Each case contains 250 tubes. I’d be willing to sell these for $20 each.
2 cases of ~15x130 mm screw top test tubes, NO LIDS. 250 tubes per case. I’m asking $30 for each case of these.

I assume he was being hyperbolic?
I still have the unopened KBr and a lot more in bulk. I don't have magnesium bromide and never have. I haven't sold much in the last few months
(haven't been aggressively bumping this thread, I've been quite busy). The spreadsheets I posted are still mostly up-to-date.
In fact, I actually acquired a lot more glassware this week, so I need to add more to that one. It's mostly more of the same, but most interestingly,
I got a ton of unusual 29/26 distillation glassware, condensers, addition funnels, and flasks that are mostly in pristine condition. I would like to
sell most of that as a set since it's a rather uncommon joint size, so if there are any big glassware enjoyers out there who would appreciate a very
unique kit, stay tuned. I'm going to be traveling out of state starting Saturday, and I'll be away for two weeks. After I get home I'll take inventory
of the new stuff and post more details.
Also, until the end of the year, I am offering a 30% discount on all chemicals and glassware, whether you would like to purchase
something as a Secret Santa gift or just want to treat yourself!

I'm interested in the Kbr if it's still available and a few more chems. Also the 29/26 distillation setup also some other stuff on your list. Just
need to narrow it down. Hopefully, I can save you a trip to the post office since I believe I'm not far.
I'll be on the lookout for the update on your return.
Cheers
