SALE OVER (mostly)

It's all gone, except a few items
at the top. The rest I've just left
here for my own historical amusement.


So, here's the story. I'm selling everything I own, because I'm selling my house and not buying a new one and have no desire to rent storage for stuff I'm not using.

You can contact me at: mylifeforsale@sifter.org :)

Everything here is located in the Carlsbad/Vista area, convenient to the 78, except for the truck which I will be selling in the San Fransisco bay area or Tahoe, unless you can give me a ride to the bay area from here. :)

I haven't had a chance to put prices on most of these things yet, and may never. Make me an offer, and if it's good enough, the item is yours (pending your final approval on personal inspection of course), and if it's too low, I might contact you later if someone doesn't offer more before my time runs out (and I don't know how long I have, until my house sells), and if it's way too low, I'll just ignore you and give the thing away to friends. I have little patience for bartering, so if you low-ball me you're probably just wasting your time. On the other hand, everything here is a good deal--even in-the-box-new things are half the price I paid for them (some fairly recently), and even much of my "used" stuff (e.g., VHS movies) is in far far better shape than the same item sold used at a store for 3x the price...

Point is, this is not a garage sale where I'm getting rid of stuff that's on its last legs -- most of the stuff here has years of life left. Please take that into account. :) That said, it does all need to go. And feel free to ask about anything in the photos which I don't explicitly mention. It's allllll going.

[Update, 2005: WARNING: last I tried it I vaguely recall there was
something that wasn't working -- perhaps rewind? Anyway, I am traveling
at the moment so can't run it through the paces to see exaclty
what's working and what's not, so consider this temporarily off
the market until I return. Unfortunately, I don't know when that
will be -- maybe May 2005?]
