Another ad for the garage sale. You must come by and take a look at all our junk.
A few years ago, when I lived in the depths of seedy Hollywood, CA, my neighbor kicked the bucket--he was in his apartment for a week before anyone knew he was dead, which is so so sad--but as he didn't have any known family or any contacts, the landlord put all his stuff out on the front lawn to give away. No one knew the guy at all. I, for one, didn't even know who he was or what he looked like. He just sat inside, apparently enjoying his humongous pornography collection: tapes and tapes of 70's Falcon movies, stacks of magazines, the lot of it stretched from one side of the lawn to the other. I grabbed his collection of Tom of Finland books; he was a member of the Tom of Finland Fan Club, and even saved his "Welcome" letter, which was hand-typed on parchment paper. It mentioned a membership badge, but search as I may, I couldn't find it. I presume one of the tranny hookers from Sunset Blvd nabbed that before I arrived on the scene. Those tranny hookers were always very nice, btw. Very polite, and they like to discuss politics. Seriously, politics, while standing on the street looking for tricks.
Anyway--
I was going to put the Tom of Finland books on eBay, but I never got around to it. EBay is a hassle, with the mailing and the whatevering. So I'm just selling the stuff at the garage sale, and someone else can eBay it. Those books are definitely worth money.
And that's just one thing. There are, like, 6 other people selling stuff of a scandalous nature.
See you there.
UPDATE: Look at us, we even made AOL's blog. We better scrounge up some good stuff to sell, it would be a shame to disappoint.
I am trying to get my boyfriend to run over to your garage sale! Not sure if he will!
So if you are in Miami how are you selling your stuff in LA?? INTERESTING!

Dan, I'd love to buy some stuff. Why not contact me with a list of what you have that you could send me through the mail.
Or I could list the stuff in my ebay store. Then when it sells somebody in LA could mail it. I would handle all of the leg work like creating the listing, money transferring, etc. I do it all the time for other people. It works like a consignment thing.
Or you could just go to a porn store that buys old books, magazines, etc. You'd get a small fraction of the value but at least it would be gone. Email me and we can work something out. I love making money. But now I must go and prepare some mags for shipping.
