Virtual garage -- well, basement -- sale
Looks like I'll be going back to NY next week to help my dad clear out some of his stuff from the basement. That means it's time to sell some of my own things that we set aside last time.
I wanted to ask all of you first if you're interested in any of the items below, since they're fannish or fannish-adjacent.
Haven't had time to price everything out, so if something looks appealing to you, want to just make an offer? I will also ask you to cover the shipping, and promise to use the least expensive option when I go to the post office. Also if you love something but are strapped for $, drop me a line.
To borrow a note from thingswithwings, who's having her own sale: unfortunately the US mail service is awful, and even a small package being sent internationally (even to Canada!) is at least $20. So I'm happy to ship anywhere, but be aware that you'd be paying a lot for shipping if you don't live in the U.S.
