The Selling Post, Part The Fifth
Have a seat! Tell your friends! You can start your holiday shopping early when you shop elite. Although I've already bought my Cruise ticket (thanks to many of you) and found a job, I find I own too many things and not enough space, and that I would like these things to go to good homes.
So I've done some foraging and come up with a bunch of sweet non-media things to add to the old Selling List. If you see something you want, please e-mail me at louise.ducray@gmail.com.
(All movies guaranteed to play just fine, and everything is in good condition. I take care of things. Prices are somewhat negotiable, so give me your best offer. If you're nearby I can get them to you in person; if not, shipping should only be a few bucks more.)
(And by the way, the HalloWhedon Hootenanny was a blast and a half. Did you go? Did you have fun? Did you enjoy the decorations? The planet-painted lanterns? The tombstones commemorating Joss shows, perhaps? Well, in just a few days those will be up for sale, so if you or anyone you know might be interested, get the word out. If there is enough interest in these one-of-a-kind creations, there may be an auction. There are some great photos of the event starting on this page, and you can see some of my creations there.)

ITEMS FOR SALE
NEWLY ADDED - October 10
$10 Green Faerie Wings Sparkly green faerie wings. Impressive wingspan. I've only ever used them as a wall hanging. SOLD
$5 Pebeo Frosted Markers For Glass And Metal Unopened. Green, blue, pink and yellow. Permanent after baking. Pretty cool; I've just never used them.
$5 Set Of 20 Chinese Character Stamps Used a bit, but in good condition. Comes with red stamp pad in a really pretty wooden box. SOLD
$1 The Devil Wears Prada Mass market paperback.
$3 The Silmarillion Trade paperback.
$3 Unfinished Tales Of Numenor & Middle-Earth Trade paperback.
NEWLY ADDED October 7
$100 Vitruvian Man Wall Tapestry While this goes for $300 elsewhere, I am letting it go for a third of the price because I have nowhere to put it, and the hanging rod is missing. Find a dowel at the craft store and problem solved! This thing is awesome. It's roughly six feet by four feet, and not quite opaque so it would even make a good window hanging. Currently listed on eBay. Can still be yours if you ask!
$20 Bergundy Cape This is a fine RenFaire-purchased garment in good condition. Just a simple cape, no hood or arm holes. Good to build a Halloween costume around, perhaps?
$10 Kodak Duaflex Camera Vintage camera produced between 1947 and 1957. I have the exact model shown here. Takes Kodak 620 film.
$10 Chuck Palahniuk shirt From his official site. Orange with 'A Writer's Cult' logo on front. Men's Medium.
$10 Green Plaid Skirt Old Navy size 16. To give you an idea of the size, fits yours truly around the hips but is too short for everyday wear. Supercute.
$5 British Flag Cloth, 30 inches by 42 inches.
$5 Bad Motherfucker Wallet That's right, I am selling my Bad Motherfucker wallet, seen here. I have the brown embroidered one, but without the words inside. It is an official piece of Pulp Fiction merch, however.
$5 DC Minimates: Aquaman + Ocean Master Unopened.
$5 DC Minimates: Batman + Killer Croc Unopened.
$3 Hollywood Clapboard Souvenir from Hollywood Boulevard when I was a kid and had stars in my eyes. Just a little clapboard with spaces for Production, Director, Camera, etc.
$3 Barrel Of Monkies Keychain Similar to the Ouija Keychain - tiny version of fun game on a keychain.
$2 X-Wing Fighter Toy From Carl's Junior or somewhere, I think, but awesome little chubby X-Wing. Press down on R2's head and the X-foils lock into attack position.
STILL AVAILABLE
DVD
$10 After The Rain This is a screening copy of a Paul Bettany film that I've never even opened. Sometimes I don't even understand myself.
$10 Almost... A must for any Hugo Weaving fangirl.
