(looks unused)





Smithsonian MicroChemistryXM 5000 set

they don't sell that set any more but the 3000 set can be found here

Oh, I paid only $7 for this set...
My problem now... someone I know said to make sure the chemicals were still ok to use. They are all dry powder. How do I know? They don't have any dates on the bottles. I don't know anything about chemicals. Any suggestions? The manual that came with the set says it was revised in 2004. I will take the set to my friend and ask her but if you have an suggestions please leave me a comment.

I did not pay more than $3 for any item except the chemistry set that I paid $7 for. Most of the items were $1 or $2. The set of Scholastic books were all 6 for $5: they run about $10-15 each, when new.

Well those are my latest finds. We went specifically because she advertised the Landmark books. We love them!! Especially the old hardbacks! The extra finds are a bonus. I am especially excited about the Story of... Cd's. We love them too!!!

Have a Great Week,
Debbie
