How much do you need?

Well I got a lot .. probably could sell for $.50- 1.50 per pound depending upon the size (bigger/nicer pieces obviously more, crappy baseball sized then less) and I might be willing to give a bulk discount 
, my girlfriend really wants me to clean out that room and I don't have many places to put the rock
Here's some pics, the white pvc is 9" long to give you some perspective.

Total? Probably in the neighborhood of 100-140 pounds, out of curiosity I picked up the green bucket (last pic) and that was 90 pounds. This is a dry weight too (obviously), compared to live rock in a store which is a wet weight
The stuff did used to be in a tank, when I moved my tanks around I didn't want a tank that's full of rock, sure it could work, but I wanted open space for flow. I've since then had it on my porch (covered porch) and kind of keeping it around simply for the fact that I had a grand plan of a uber large tank... reality has since kicked in on that, so I figure if I'm going to make the go ahead for a large tank I can always get more rock.
How much for all of it, I probably could let it go for $100 just sight unseen (although I have seen it, and I do know what kinds of pieces are there). Of course I'm always up for partial trades (I am looking for a calcium reactor, so various parts would be nice, co2 tank, regulator, etc) perhaps some nice SPS.. although it has to be nice I'm running out of room so can't put too much junk in the tank .
Located San Francisco kind of near the Bernal Heights area (actually my "district" people never have heard of.. Portola)
William Shepphard invented liquid soap over a century later though the Minnetonka Corp cornered the market on liquid soap when they bought up all the available dispensers for it, a few years later Colgate bought that and officially coined the term "Soft Soap"
The why is that he needed a type of viscious lubricant, not a washing thing.

... "washing thing," is that a technical term? I don't know how much of it I would actually need, but I suppose I could just buy it all and get rid of that which I don't use. I'm in the City as well, in the panhandle area. I'm actually in Osaka, Japan, at the moment, but I'll be back Thur. morn. Are you around sometime Thur-Sat? Would you take $75? Cheers, Blaise.
