I'm moving somewhere new, a fact which I know has you all riveted to your seats, furiously refreshing your browser in the hopes that I've updated your Friend's List with my complaints. I'm moving! Waaah!
I'm selling things for all of the following stereotypical reasons (people who are in the process of moving are all the same):
1.) I need money to cover the cost of moving;
2.) I need money to buy a second-hand couch that probably ranks urine as the least offensive of the various secretions on it;
3.) I'm losing a little over 600 sq ft in this move and can't even begin to bring everything with me.
Right now I'm selling off most of my vintage magazine/paper ephemera collection, you can see it at my Etsy store. I've divided it into 10 lots of random assorted papers and old magazines and vintage things, and I made sure that each lot is gorgeous and filled with rare paper treasures.
This is a little portion of one lot:

I wouldn't sell my paper ephemera and things if I wasn't so concerned about storage space and the fact that I think these lots really need to go to collage artists, who will be able to really appreciate and utilize them. If you know anyone who likes to make collages, you could buy them one.
I'm also selling paintings, a magic markers and colored pencils lot, and some stuff on Ebay. The stuff on Ebay doesn't have any bids which kind of puzzles me because I am selling this treasure:
Haha! Yes. A Darth Maul backpack. How is nobody bidding on this? I guess $20 is way too much.
I carried Darth Maul around during my college days (I was an older student) and it never failed to crack me up when I got ready for school. It was usually some stuffy literature class that took itself far too seriously. I eventually switched to a Mickey's Big Mouth backpack that had more carrying room. I'd sent away for it using a coupon printed on a case of Mickey's, and it was funny how people reacted to the backpack, either it made them really thirsty or they were slightly horrified about it.
Man, now I want a Mickey's... or an apple martini and maybe a cigarette. Moving has made me tense and wanting a cigarette really badly, but I'm fighting the urge. I could drive to the convenience store and smoke some Marlboro's right now.
Anyway I'll be listing more stuff later, I have some fancy things I think need to be purged too.
