VAST ACCUMULATION OF STUFF SALE 2/11

This week’s photo of my Vast Accumulation of Stuff shows my office.
Like the other photos I’ve shared, this one is from November 2009.
My office is looks somewhat worse today, though that’s mostly due
to the current effort to clear 15 feet of wall space to make room
for a row of bookcases.  My war with the VAOS may not be Hell per
se, but it can be a grim business. 

Today is Monday.  That means new items in my VAOS sales and reduced
prices on some previously unsold items. Unsold items are eventually
taken off sale and put in my twice-a-month garage sales which will
resume in the spring.  I’m hoping for April.  

Here’s how my VAOS sales work...

First come, first serve. In other words, the quicker you e-mail me,
the better your chance of getting the item or items.  Only e-mail
orders will be accepted and you should not send payment until you
get a confirmation e-mail from me.  All listed items are in good or
better condition unless otherwise noted. 

Let me stress that “e-mail only” rule.  Most of the few mistakes I
have made in assembling/shipping orders have happened with orders
I accepted via phone or Facebook message.  So...I’m not gonna break
my own rule anymore.

You should always include your mailing address with your orders.
That speeds up the packaging and the shipping.

Items will be shipped via United States Postal Service.  There is
a $5 shipping/handling charge for up to four items via media mail.
Add $1 for every two additional items. Tracking numbers are sent to
buyers when their orders have been shipped.  My shipping costs went
up this month, but I’m absorbing that additional expense for at
least the rest of February.

Payments are by check, money order or PayPal.  My PayPal address is
the same as my email address.  Purchases will generally be shipped
within a week of checks clearing,  money orders received or PayPal
payments received.

Because this is a one-man operation done between family, household
and work responsibilities, these items are only available to buyers
within the United States and to APO buyers.

When you receive your order, please check it and let me know of any
omissions as soon as possible.  I’ll be double-checking the orders
on my end, but, if there’s a problem, I want to make it right in a
timely fashion.

This week’s sale ends when the new sale goes up on Monday, February
18.  Your orders are greatly appreciated.
