THIS STUFF IS GOING LIKE HOTCAKES!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!
To get in on the savings, email/call/IM Brian and claim your item (if you don't know his email/number/screenname or know anyone else that would have this information, then you can't participate - sorry, this cheap-as-free sale is for members only, where members = people that know Brian), or show up and browse. After claiming your item, come and retrieve it; Yee Fay is usually there in the evenings. Retrieve all of your crap before August 19th, or else no one will be there to let you in. Since this is free, don't expect me to ship it to you or anything; I will probably only be in the apartment one more time (on the 5th) so I won't be able to help you.
By the way, "negotiating" often means more than one person has claimed it, or someone has shown interest.
This page inspired by the idea of something "a step below a dollar store" and annoying, old-school-esque, animated, boisterous HTML pages, AKA much of ebay. I was tempted to add a MIDI, but that would be too much effort.
Animated pictures from http://www.gifanimations.com. They have a lot of them, and they are good if you don't use them badly, such as I did.
The status pictures are stolen from Microsoft ClipArt.
The people in the picture are as follows:
- Man with sword: John Stossel
- Woman with glasses: Chelsea Clinton
- Long-haird punk: Slash (from Guns-N-Roses, or perhaps Chrono Trigger, we don't know which one)
- Other woman: Jennifer Aniston
