Questions? Email us at garagesailer@695dowlingblvdsanleandroca.com. Once the sale starts at 8am Saturday morning, our ability to respond will be probably be limited for at least the frst 2 hours because so many buyers are likely to show up at the beginning. We may bring more stuff out as the day goes on but we try to get almost all of it out by 8am.

*We have a "no early birds" policy for a very good reason: If we stop during our "setup" to talk to people about something they'd like to buy, that means that we won't have all of our available inventory out on display when 8am arrives -- and we know from experience that once we start to sell, it's very hard to be able to get any more inventory out on our tables. So while you "early birds" would love to "jump the line" by showing up before our posted "start time", it (1) isn't fair to other buyers and (2) means we'll end up selling less stuff.

Tagline

We will keep adding photos including once we're set up on sale day and it's all spread out!

In the meantime we'll put up some saved photos we happen to have of items to be sold on sale day, and may add some photos from prior events to give you an idea of what our sale will look like once it's set up. When you are near our address -- it's a corner lot -- keep an eye out for one more more strings of "pennants" -- you know those triangular flags you see on boats -- to help you know that you've found us!

Old darkroom "Safe lights" dating likely to the 1950's. Pretty cool looking "accent pieces"? Most photography stuff I have comes from the 50's to the 70's and includes mostly film cameras and darkroom equipment. I do have some digital cameras that probably won't be part of this sale, but feel free to email me with your "wish list" and we can talk.

Here are 2 out of 3 shelving units full of shoes that I bought. I gave away about 1/3 of them to a program that helps women built professional outfits for job seeking. There were about 1/3 that I either gave to a local nonprofit or disposed of because they weren't in great shape. But that still leaves 3 of those big black 27 gallon tubs you see at Costco, full of shoes, mostly in boxes -- likely at least 50 pairs!

Photo below is of a Logitech A-00064 P/N 881-00028 USB headset with boom microphone with in-line controls such as volume and mute. All tested using Zoom, and sanitized with rubbing alcohol. I've been using this model for years for Zoom conferences and they work very wll. I'll have at least 10 of them available at the yard sale.

More photos coming soon!
