There is a Sefer called the Halachos of Muktza by Rabbi Yisroel P Bodner that clarifies these issues very well.– Gershon GoldCommented Jan 23, 2011 at 17:01

An oversimplification, since that's what's being sought: Muktze is something (a) unusable, (b) valuable-cum-fragile, or (c) useless for non-m'lacha uses, or (d) a support for one of the above. Something useless or valuable-cum-fragile can't be moved or used. Something useless for non-m'lacha uses can be moved only if it's needed for a permitted use or occupying needed space. A support for muktze has the status of type of muktze on it. See one of the books mentioned in the comments on the question, or CYLOR, for details; certainly don't rely practically on anything in this answer.

Just in response Rashi and many other commentaries where famous for being able to take very broad topics and put it in a few words that is a reflection of an amazing grasp of a topic not an oversimplification.As any teacher or Rav must do also mike very all encompassing topics bite size and that is what I am looking for somone with a full grasp of the topic to summarize in a few words or pargraphs Commented Jan 24, 2011 at 13:40

Simchas Torah, even the Mechaber wrote over 80 simanim on muktze. msh wrote a practical summary which covers most contemporary issues in a general sense, but there is much more (eg- things that were not muktze but are now, things that could go either way depending on you intent/action before shabbos, what if you already picked up the muktze, potential damage to people, abnormal movement leniencies, etc.– YDKCommented Jan 24, 2011 at 16:28

1@R'SimchasTorah, I agree with your comment. But I'm not Rashi, and I'm not someone with a full grasp of the topic. So my caveat that that's an oversimplification is I think in order.– msh210 ♦Commented Jan 24, 2011 at 16:43
