    High Quality West Seattle Sale – One Day Only – Sunday, September 30 8am-6pm

    Tired of the same old junk sales (“estate”, garage, yard) ??? Well, not on our watch!! We are raising the bar and having a one day throw-down sale that you absolutely should not miss. Clean, quality goods priced to move! This will be a well organized and well run sale.

    Lots of good items and priced well; in particular we have 5-6 racks of real vintage women’s clothing, accessories, mostly 60’s. Most clothing will be $2 or $5, a few special items may be $8 or $10. The vintage clothing is clean and ready to wear, no mildew laden crap here. At these prices you may even find cheap costume gems!!

    Come on out and join the fun! Convenient location and parking in West Seattle between 35th and California. Coffee and pastries for the early birds at 7am (no early entry). Sale kicks off at 8am with some great freebie giveaways including a free and fun drawing for the world’s largest and ugliest mid-century danish modern hanging lamp!! Everything is priced to move and our goal is to have absolutely nothing left at the 6pm close!! No junk, toys, or kids items at this sale.

    Thanks for the great CDs! Bummed I didn’t check the forums sooner – sounds like we missed out on even more excellent stuff. Sorry we didn’t take the pink suitcase, but I’m sure it’ll find a suitable home. ;)
