Garage Sale: Electronics
Life April 19th, 2004 |Okay, so here’s what’s up for grabs. I’ll keep this current for, oh, two weeks or so to see what I can get rid of this way, then hit the pawn shops with whatever’s left over.
Only a few conditions: buyers need to be in the Seattle area and able to come by my apartment in downtown Seattle to pick up the goods. This is only because I don’t have my own transportation to deliver anything, nor do I have the original packaging to ship equipment anywhere.
I’d ask that any interested parties respond by leaving a comment on this post, so that I can keep everything on a “first-come, first-serve” basis, rather than e-mailing me directly. Just making things as easy and as fair as possible for everyone.
NOTE: This post isn’t finished yet, I’m still adding things on as I get them finalized. Okay, everything’s up.
Update: Wow, that was fast. Assuming that none of the people that contacted me fell through, everything listed here has been spoken for. Should that change, I’ll update, of course…but at the moment, it looks like this much is wrapped up. Now to get started listing the DVDs…

Quick note: I’ve already had interest expressed in the TV and 5-disc changer (here), so those may be claimed already, though I’ve yet to verify that. If they do get claimed, I’ll mark them off of the list as soon as I’m sure.

I think it’s more of a process… get slashdotted, get a fairly consistent following on your blog, pawn all your old stuff to them.

Um…you’d have to move to Seattle. Or at least visit. As I stated in my post, I’m not up for trying to ship this anywhere, let alone overseas. Sorry!
