Things for Sale!

So, I'll keep this simple. My mom and I are close to losing our house. She's canceled the storage we had to see if it helps and now it's all in here and to say the least... we're running out of living space.

However, I see a lot of these items and I know for a fact you guys would love them. All kinds of sowing/crocheting supplies, painting/oils, statues, decorations, accessories, puzzles... just, a bunch of antique and pretty stuff... So, I'm sorry this is so vague as to what is exactly here but there's literally hundreds of things here. However... you name it, it probably exists in one of these many boxes. Doesn't even have to be KR related mind you. So, I would like to ask you all if there is something you would be interested in and willing to buy, send me a PM and I'll tell you if I have it.

I'll be bringing everything to the end of the month event so it gives people some time to think.

maybe It might be a good idea to grab a few items and photograph them to start with maybe some eye catching items that ppl can guage what kind of stuff to ask for...
that's my two cents for now.

Sorry to hear the news about the house.  I hope things get better.  As for selling stuff... I know this may sound odd, but have you tried contacting estate brokers?

When my dad died, my brother and I had a lot of his stuff and were figuring out how to get rid of it all.  We called a estate broker who specializes in that and was able to grab everything and find a way to sell it to antique dealers, thrift stores, 2nd hand bookstores, and other places for us.  The amount of money we got for some of the stuff wasn't much in comparison to what some of it was worth... but time was more of an issue for us and we were able to get rid of things pretty quickly.

Admittedly, most folks don't get much money or have to share a lot of what they get with the broker... sometimes it makes getting rid of things easier.  It maybe better to get some quick cash (pennies on the dollar) as to try to wait and get the full value of what you are selling.  It all depends on your perspective and which is more important.  Money or time.

Oh I wanted to do the picture thing but we don't have a camera. But, I think my dad has an old one that can hook up to computers, I asked him to look for it. Thanks for mentioning it though.

My mom's working with a broker on some of the more expensive stuff/furniture. Unfortunately he's kind of a jerk but that's another story

This stuff is mostly just things that she thought would be good for me to give to those who'd want it. I'll try getting some pictures up of the statues/decorations when I can ^^

Heya chica, I know how you feel. My mom almost lost her house this past november. If you have anything gypsy or gothic let me know.

Pictures ^^

This will be growing, found some things to donate to KR as well, thanks for those supporting ^^


-All the polka dotted fabric has been bought already, the rest I'll be honest, I'm not sure what kinds of fabric they are but they were all bought with intentions to be KR clothing, sturdy and light.

At the risk of sounding horribly gay and being made fun of forever, I'm very much interested in crochet supplies.  What have you got?

Since Roosevelt Greer announced that he was a knitter, no one has been willing to make fun of men who engage in that activity.

I know we have a TON of crocheting needles... somewhere... and so many types of things to crochet its ridiculous... it was my grandma's favorite thing. I'll go scavenging and send you a list

You want Yarn or anything cause I literally have two boxes filled with different kinds...

If he does not want all the yarn, Seamstress might want some, depening on colors.

Oh.. guess the PM didn't send then. I guess I'll just put the list here.

There are also rolls of lace all $.50 cents each that are white, white with beads, light blue, and light pink. Really pretty. I'll get pictures ^^

I'll take all the yarn 

Dude, I wanted the yarn! :'(

the armies of jimbobwe are at your service in your quest for the yarn jimbob LOL

Okay, you take the yarn
Definitely don't want Jimbobwe's armies to kill me.
...Plus, I have many yarns, and you have few yarns.

Don't think for a minute that The Glorious Armies of Jimbobwe will back down from a fight!  Sonya, assemble the 171st Sock Puppet Militia and bestow upon the enemy a thousand monkey bites!!!

More seriously, thanks.  You has a scarf in your future.

A thousand monkey bites?! Don't you think you might be going to extremes here? Monkey bites are the worst.

Are you siding with the enemy of Jimbobwe?  You realize that having a 171st Imperial Sock Puppet Militia means I have 170 others!  Mighty Puppets! 

And to show my benevolence, Buttons will only be stricken with 742 Monkey Bites.  The other 258 will go to you.

Let me borrow one of those militias if you would as I am a humble, loyal servant of Jimbobwe. They any good at search and destroy?

I'll get everything straightened out after I get out of school... I wish my mom'd help me measure some of that fabric. So much X.x...
Though, to make my life a smidge easier, I was wondering if I could just bring it all to the end of the month event. Then you guys can help me figure out what kind of fabric it is too so in case you don't want it, I can sell it properly elsewhere.. maybe?

Fabric - my wife's middle name!  She is interested.  I guess I will be her agent, but as my mother said "Charles, you sit on your fashion sense."

I won't fight for the yarn... I'll let Jimbob have that, but I would like some of the fabrics if possible

We're all capable of sharing here, right?

P.S. Mars, how's that sheet music coming along?

No problem sharing the fabric.  We went to Norm's to watch the Eagles lose to the Cards and on the way stopped into a fabric store my wife frequents that was having a huge sale.  She walked out with me carrying (guys are natural beasts of burden, or if watching Ramar of the Jungle, native bearers) about $200 worth of stuff.  OK, $2 was for a new gold and silver cord for Fr. Edwin and she will make him a pair of black trousers, but you get the point. 

<<There are also rolls of lace all $.50 cents each that are white, white with beads>>

Sold

P.S. Mars, how's that sheet music coming along?

So far? Poorly. But you'll see a picture of my house to give you an idea of what all I'm digging through, by myself no less >.o'

It's here somewhere!

Maybe I should get sock puppet minions for myself...

Seamstress wants to know if those huge amounts of thread are all on one industrial sized spool.

Aww, it's ok, no rush! With the loads of time I have school, (please note sarcasm) I'll have plenty of time to sort through it... 

P.S. Sock puppet minions = epic win

Mars, having heard your plea, the Grand High Imperial Magistar of Jimbobwe will not leave you empty handed.  You may take the 43rd Sock Puppet Brigade with my blessing, lead by General Flappy Face McGee and General Punkdaddy.

Jimbob, that is the most I've smiled all Week. You are getting the biggest hug ever next time I see you.

welcome to the brigade mars!! 


...DON'T F THIS UP WE'LL BE EXECUTED WITH GREAT HONOR
