Not sure yet whether the cash is for a New M or for a backup 280/4, but I'm 
selling anything that doesn't compromise the roof over my head.  Craigslist 
is my friend (but not the rampant scammers).  Handycam, old tripod, my stash 
of frozen TMax 100,  old car roof rack, old bike trailer, SWMBO's treadmill 
(no worries, it was her idea to sell it), old sewing machine.  Next is the 
RT-300, another old tripod, SWMBO's old Grand Caravan (replaced with a VW 
Jetta TDI) and my old truck.

And don't sell any good lenses that will fit the New M, including Nikon F or 
Hasselblad lenses.  For now I'm keeping the 300mm f/4.5 ED (non-IF) which 
would be usable on the New M as a backup for the 280.
