As posted on Craigslist just moments ago...

Saturday, August 22 ONLY 9am - 4pm
19142 130th Ave NE
Bothell, WA 98011

At the very back of the Cul De Sac, in the prestigious Holly Hills neighborhood.

You know that guy who always seems to be just one step ahead of you at the thrift stores and garage sales? The one carrying the Darth Vader helmet, a stack of B-Movie Horror VHS tapes and a 1983 Star Trek Collectors Glass from Taco Bell while all you've been able to find are a few coverless copies of Archie Comics? Don't you hate that guy?

I AM THAT GUY! AND THIS IS MY YARD SALE!!!

I'm getting rid of about 90% of my 70's, 80's and 90's pop culture treasures in this garage sale and you're NOT going to want to miss it, especially since I'm selling it all DIRT CHEAP. Seriously! Most everything is going to be 25-cents, 50-cents... *maybe* a few things going all the way up to $5.

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING AT MY GARAGE SALE THAT COSTS OVER $5, IT'S BECAUSE I'M SELLING IT FOR A FRIEND.

(This would include a rather large collection of 1:24 scale NHRA Funny Cars (the type that usually sell for $60-$80 each) going for $20 a pop)

RECORDS RECORDS RECORDS!!! Friends say I am THE KING of Eclectic Vinyl! I'll be going through the collection tonight and weeding out the cool wax what ain't been listened to in over a year! I'll even be selling my old record player for $5 so you'll have a chance to check the grooves before purchasing!

TOYS!!! Some stuff as old as The 1960's, 1970's, 1980's and beyond! Also a very large assortment of current toys that my 3-year-old daughter has outgrown!

Speaking of my daughter, KIDS CLOTHES! Lots and lots of quality kids clothing!

And cool/awesome ADULT CLOTHES, too! Mostly in the highly desirable XL and XXL sizes!

NICK NACKS! DOO DADS! COMPLETE WASTES OF TIME!!!

And mention that you saw our ad on CRAIGSLIST and you'll get your choice of a handsome PAPER or PLASTIC reusable bag, emblazoned with one of a variety of popular Northwest Business logos such as "Safeway", "Top Food & Drug", "Albertsons" or "Value Village"!

So COME ON DOWN! Saturday August 22nd ONLY! 9am till 4pm! Free Coffee if you bring your own cup!

Any chance of a sneak preview of the vinyl you're selling?

If i think of it before I go to bed, I'll reply with at least a list of what there is. Lots of 1950's Hawaiian, Polka, Disco, Sound Track...

...I've got to get to pulling vinyl NOW!

I would appreciate it! My buddy is always vinyl hunting and might be interested in taking a bulk of it at once, if it's the right stuff at the right price.

Was planning on going a buck a record, but would give discount for somebody willing to take away the whole shebang.

Lots of old 78's with the likes of Bing Crosby and lots of stuff I've never heard of. Really, too many different records to mention, probably at least 100 different records. Found my 12-inch single for "Welcome to the Bat-Rave", that's the only bit of techno that's going in. Kenny Rogers "Duets"... Steve Martin... Mary Poppins.... AAAAAAAARGH!!!

Okay, gaing back to setting things up again. Wife seems to be getting angry that I'm sitting here doing nothing. if you make it here, let me know it's you!
