virtual garage sale, part one

[holli]

The first of no doubt several batches of stuff I would like to get rid of before I move. I would prefer that DC-area people claim it, as I will not have the spoons to ship stuff between now and the move. If I am asking money for something, it is to cover what I paid for it.



!950s postcard album, souvenir of someone's Caribbean vacation. There are some cool ones from Cuba. $10.



Milk crate full of comics, mostly 2004-2006, mostly DC. You can have all of them but my near-complete JLI run. In fact, I would prefer you take all of them, rather than cherry-picking. FREE.



My grandmother gives me very nice pajamas or lounge clothes for my birthday every year, and I inevitably never wear them and never get around to returning them. Never worn, very nice, all size M. FREE.



1960s sewing machine, Signature brand. Bought it from the original owner, who used it regularly, never used it myself. Comes with carrying case. All metal and HEAVY. $40.



Very bright and cheerful paint-by-number painting. Turns out to not match anything else on my walls. $7.



Child's tea set. White ceramic, no chips or cracks. FREE.



Adjustable dressmaker's dummy. Goes from I think a 28" waist to a 38". Only used for Etsy staging. $100.



Various books. If you see a title you like, I will pull it out for you. FREE.

There is definitely more to come. Right now I feel like I've hardly made a dent in how much stuff I have; I keep thinking I've made some progress and then I look around and there's still SO MUCH STUFF. If I wasn't so embarrassed about the state of the house, I'd say I wish I had help sorting through everything, but, well-- the house is in a state. Moving: not my favorite.

I am definitely tempted by comics.

[holli]

PLEASE take them.

[ciaan]

Okay, sure!

[holli]

Ack, they have since been claimed! I might have some more comics turn up that need a new home, though.

[ciaan]

It's probably for the best after all. I don't really need new random comics until after I read all the ones I already have.

[aria]

I would happily take your copy of Tithe! But I'm up in Massachusetts, so idk if you want to bother sending it.

[cinco]

If you're sure the sewing machine works, I'm interested. But I don't have a car and transporting it on the bus sounds unpleasant--any chance you might come through Silver Spring?

[holli]

It should work, but we can test it. I'm close enough to Silver Spring that I'd be willing to drop it off. Email me at hollimichele at gmail dot com and we can set up a time for me to do it.

[cinco]

I'm also interested in the dress dummy, though not sure I can meet your price. Before I think about it more seriously, could you measure the max bust and hip? Thanks, and I'll email you about the sewing machine!

[sara]

*sigh* If I were on your coast, I would take about four of these things, for work if not for myself.

(Work has a near-inexhaustible use for dress dummies and children's tea-sets. No, really.)

I am near College Park - and I would gladly take Auden and Tithe off your hands if they're still available.

[holli]

I'll save them for you! Let me know when a good time to pick them up is, and I'll get you my address.

[air-ocean.livejournal.com]

Hmm, Monday after 3pm or Tuesday before 1 pm? Do you know if there's anything that runs to your place from the UMD campus?

[icarus]

Oh darn, Cinco's already got dibs on the sewing machine. Good taste, I'd say. If it turns out she doesn't want it/transportation woes not worth it, I'm interested. :)

[holli]

You are officially second in line. And, actually? I... sort of have two sewing machines. The other one's modern and needs the tension adjusted, and probably isn't as well-built as the one posted here, but I do want it gone just as bad.

[icarus]

I like the older one because, well, they made them to wear like chainmail. Of course, Cinco will give it a good home, so.

[bironic]

I'd love the SF Century book. And can come pick it up sometime. In fact, if the scheduling works out, maybe I can help cinco pick up the sewing machine and/or mannequin as well.

[holli]

All yours-- I'm free until about 3. We can test the sewing machine, and if it works you can take it for cinco. I may have a craigslist buyer fir the dummy.

[bironic]

I am in TP and could come by after class ends at 1:00 - may I ask your address? (My email is on myprofile page)

[holli]

I'm grabbing lunch with a potential housemate til around 1, but I should be back by 1:15. I'll email you my address in a minute!
