VAST ACCUMULATION OF STUFF SALE 2/4

Readers seem to enjoy photos of my Vast Accumulation of Stuff, so
here’s another one.  These photos are all from 2009, so the areas
shown are different today than they were back then.  In most cases,
they no longer look like scenes from Hoarders.  In other cases, I
still have a lot of work to do.

Monday usually means new items for my ongoing Vast Accumulation of
Stuff sales and reduced prices on some previously unsold items.
That’s the case this week.  Unsold items are eventually taken off
this list and will be part of my garage sales when they resume in
the spring.  Weather permitting.  

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
11. While supplies last, all orders will receive a free signed copy
of an Isabella-written Hawkman comic book.

  1. Hey Tony-

    Those look like a few volumes of Russ Cochran's EC Library series plus some of the Walt Disney sets in your photo. I picked up my first set, Weird Science-Fantasy in 1985 and FINALLY tracked down the last set, Moon Girl, in 2008, making it the one of the few series that I was able to complete even if it took me 23 years to do so! Good stuff and I recommend the Fantagraphics reprints that are appearing; same black and white format, slightly reduced, with some nice essays. These volumes were my introduction into vintage comic reprints - we've come a long way since then.
