ALL PREVIOUSLY PICTURED SEATPOSTS ARE TAKEN.

I also have (and can take photos for interested parties):

One Sansin 40H tandem hub (wide dropout spacing) with a Suntour freehub and lotsa sprockets

Front wheel, 700C with narrow "Raleigh" alloy eyeletted rim, 36 spokes (edit: need to check whether they're stainless or galv. steel), presta valve hole; SR alloy low-flange hub; no skewer (request that recipient pay shipping)
BUT, THERE'S MORE (I'm calling these two wheels one "item," if one likes) -- Rear wheel, also 700C, somewhat wider Weinmann 2115 non-eyeletted rim, 36 galv. spokes, Schraeder valve hole, Joytech alloy low-flange hub; Suntour Perfect freewheel, looks like 6-speed 13-26 or so; no skewer (request that recipient pay shipping)

Three plastic/foam-padded/steel-railed saddles, all black, in slightly different shapes and sizes: Viscount (leather cover), Selle Royal (leather cover, coupla pock-marks) and Trico (harder plastic cover)

WHAT'S BEEN TAKEN:
GONE -- Set of Modolo Corsa sidepull brakes, calipers and levers; these are not high-end, reach in the 43-57 mm range, nutted
BEING RECYCLED -- Set of Dia-Compe "G" sidepull brakes (edit: see ones like them at VeloBase.com), 47-57mm, nutted, with levers and (old) cables
SPOKEN FOR, BUT THE STEM (for a Varsinental or the like) IS STILL AVAILABLE -- Set of Schwinn "Worldsport" drop bars, with that wild "free love" shape; width 43 cm to end-plug centers, but fairly narrow on top; including a set of Weinmann brake levers with turkey wings (aka suicide levers), and one of those skinny Schwinn stems; bars are 25.4 mm at the clamp
TAKEN -- SR drop bars "Custom/Road Champion" 39 cm at the end-plug centers, including SR 100 mm extension stem
GONE -- Set of Gnutti high-flange hubs, never been used, including skewers; not impressive finish
TAKEN -- Plastic/foam-padded/steel-railed saddle, all black: Specialized (made by Viscount, with discreet but red S logo)
TAKEN -- Seatpost, shortish SR (= Sakae Ringko) type, steel rail clamps, but the post itself is alloy (27.2 mm)
SURPRISED THEY LASTED SO LONG -- Set of SR alloy quill pedals, presumably English threaded, one-piece cage and spindle; bearings a bit rough (edit: may just need new balls+ adjustment), and missing their dustcaps (prob. same as ubiquitous MKS); but including nice Christophe chromed toeclips (a bit of rust) and Lapize leather straps with buckles
TAKEN -- One more seatpost, shortish SR (= Sakae Ringko) types, microadjust all-alloy type (26.6 mm)
EVEN THIS -- Schwinn stem for Varsinental (or the like) skinny steerer tube; extension = 70 mm; clamp diameter 25.4 mm
SPOKEN FOR -- Three Suntour Vx low-flange front hubs; brand new, not wonderfully finished, 36H; bearings feel rough, but maybe they're just tightened too much
