Over the next number of years (currently undefined), I will be closing up shop.
My view in that a quarter century is a good time frame for what I’ve done here,
and have tried to achieve.
As such, I will periodically run sales/offers/donations, to physically move inventory
out the door. This will be done intelligently, and if no takers appear (after
a number of attempts) I will donate to a charity or (in some circumstances) send
to a landfill.
Because of the volume/weight involved, and what with shipping being what it is,
some transactions (whether monetary or not) will involve physical transfer to
the person(s) receiving. I.E. I’m not shipping, got it ?
The first in this sequence will be empty boxes. I probably have 20-50 empty boxes
from sets, all of these are 15-25 years old. When I find the time, I will compile
a list and post it against this message. They will be free, but you will be required
to drive to a location which is roughly described as one hour west of Gainesville
FL to receive them. If no one sees a reason (or value), then out they will go.

Wish you all the best for the next Galaxy.

I posted a similar good bye tag ...BrickLinker's Guide to the Galaxy: So
long and thanks for all the bricks
But since my health deteriorated so quickly, I really didn't have the time
or energy to deal with ANY kind of sales ...I just donated it all to a couple
of local AFOLs to spread the joy out into the community ...I get lots and lots
of pics of people with ear to ear grins as they show off their new treasures.

I'll be sorry to see you go... I've learned a lot from your presence
in the forum!
Don't forget to pack a towel...
