Thanks everyone

So this week's Everything Must Go event is effectively over. (There are a couple of older Xbox 360 games left, but everything else has been taken.)

I try to respond to every email I get but given the sheer number of messages I've received, that won't be possible this time, sorry. It took me over two hours to get through the emails that were sent between 3:00 and 3:01. By that time, I just started searching my email for the remaining items, looking for the oldest messages first, of course.

If you are receiving an item, congratulations. I (or, more honestly, my wife) will send them out this coming week. If you are receiving a book, I will need your mailing address in advance, per the emails I've already sent, and I just ask that you pay for postage after receiving the book(s). I'll provide instructions in the package. (One exception: Those who are receiving Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition do not need to pay for postage. That's a gift from me to you.)

If you are purchasing an item, I've already emailed me you with my PayPal address. Once you make the payment, I should have your shipping address through PayPal. If not, I'll email and ask for it.

In some rare cases (international shipping, usually), we'll need to check with the Post Office to see how much the shipping will be. So I will be getting back to you when we figure that out. It will be this week.

The included shipping, generally, is the slowest and least expensive service offered by the US Post Office.

If you did not receive an item, my apologies. I received thousands of emails in the first 15 minutes and it's hard to keep up with it all. But I will be having a second Everything Must Go event later in the month. I was reminded that next week is Easter, so it will most likely be the weekend after that. Stayed tuned here, and on the Windows Weekly podcast, for an update when I have the next day and time set.

Again, thanks everyone,
--Paul

Everything Must Go: Video Game Consoles

NOTE: These items are all now taken, sorry. --Paul

The video game consoles listed below will only be shipped to the continental US.

If you'd like an item, please email me. Items are provided on a first come, first serve basis only. Sorry.

Items that are already taken will be crossed-out.

I'd actually price these lower, but shipping is going to be an issue as they're all pretty heavy.

Xbox 360 consoles - I have three Xbox 360 consoles to sell. All were recently repaired via Microsoft's free $1 billion no-questions-asked warranty service. These consoles are not complete sets in that they do not include a controller. Each does include the 1 month subscription card for Xbox Live Gold that Microsoft ships with repaired consoles.


These include:


Xbox 360 Core system (November 2006) with composite cables, power supply and 256 MB MU. This version does not yet have the New Xbox Experience installed, but once you log on to Xbox Live, you'll get the upgrade. - $70

Xbox 360 "Pro" system (October 2006) with component cables, power supply and 20 GB hard drive This version does not yet have the New Xbox Experience installed, but once you log on to Xbox Live, you'll get the upgrade. Works fine, the HDD is a bit scuffed up around the edges. - $100

Xbox 360 "Pro" system (October 2006) with component cables, power supply and 20 GB hard drive. This machine was upgraded to the NXE previously. - $100

Also...

Sony PlayStation 3 set - This is the original late 2006 PS3 with a 60 GB hard drive, full backwards compatibility with PS2 games, and the integrated media card reader. It is complete and includes the full console (w/box, instructions), 2 wireless controllers, 1 USB charging cable, a Blu-Ray Remote Control, and three games: Resistance: Fall of Man, Motor Storm, and Dark Kingdom. $200

Everything Must Go: Books

There's no cost for the books per se, but I do ask that you pay for postage. As always, I will try to send everything in the cheapest way possible, which is typically US postage media mail. You don't pay until you get the book(s): Just check the postage at that time and then pay via PayPal or check; I'll include instructions with the shipment. I cannot ship books from this posting outside of the US, sorry.
These books are all in good to new condition (most are new).

If you'd like a book, please email me. Items are provided on a first come, first serve basis only. Sorry.

Only one book per person this time, though you can feel free to ask for more than one, in order of preference.

Books that are already taken will be crossed-out. Books that are not given away here will be donated locally.

Please don't ask for books you don't want. And remember that books are heavy, especially these books: Sometimes shipping can get expensive.

Less than an hour to go

Just a heads-up about what will and will not be included this week, generally speaking.

I will have...
  • Several technology-type books, mostly from Microsoft Press to give-away
  • Four video game consoles for sale (US only)
  • Numerous Xbox 360 game titles for sale
  • A handful of electronic devices for sale
What I haven't had time to get together for this sale are several portable media players and digital media set-top boxes (most of these will actually be give-aways). These and other items will be included in the next Everything Must Go event, which will hopefully happen next week or the week after.

Everything Must Go 101

I've gotten a lot of email over the past week about Everything Must Go, and because it's been a while since the last event, and because there are apparently so many new people joining in this time around, I thought it made sense to explain how this works.

At 3:00 pm EDT today, I will create a post here describing the items that I am selling and/or giving away. I do not provide a list ahead of time. Items are sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. So if you see something you want, email me immediately. Please note that items are taken rather quickly, however. I will mark taken items as that happens so it's obvious. But generally speaking, I often get dozens of requests for items that were just taken. Please do not send mailing address information unless I've contacted you via email first.

Yes, you can ask for multiple items. But please do so only if you are serious and remember that the first-come, first-serve nature of this event means that you may get only some of the things you requested (or none at all).

Available items will include hardware (video game consoles, portable media players, and so on), Xbox 360 game titles, books, and so on. Items I have paid for (aside from books) are generally sold for 50 percent of their current value or less and include (slow) ground shipping, but only inside the US. If you are from outside the US, you will have to pay for shipping in addition to the listed price, and this can be expensive. Some items (video game consoles, etc.) will not be sold outside of the US, but I will mark these clearly. Books and items that I have not paid for are free plus the cost of shipping. For books, you can pay for shipping when the books arrive. For other free items, I will ask for shipping to be paid up front.

I only accept PayPal for up-front payments. Those paying for book shipping after the fact can pay with a check if they'd like.

Because of the amount of items available and my schedule (I've recently decided to accompany my brother on a hair-brained drive to Florida; we leave Sunday morning at 7:00 am), today's event will be the first of at least two, so today I will be selling/giving away the items I've been able to get together so far. I will have more next week and will provide advanced warning about the day/time. Based on feedback, it will likely be a different day of the week (probably a Sunday).

If you scroll down and look at the older articles here, you can see how previous Everything Must Go events looked like.

Hope this helps. See you at 3:00 pm. --Paul

UPDATE: Next Everything Must Go installment delayed to APRIL 4

UPDATE: Sorry for the constant delays. But I've had to delay the next installment of my book giveway and DVD/electronics fire sale to Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 3:00 pm EST. This will give me some time to get everything together for the sale.

Everything Must Go: Second major shipment is on the way

If you've paid for an item or, in the case of a book giveaway, provided a mailing address, as of last night, your shipment is probably on the way. (There are a handful of exceptions, but those will go on today or tomorrow morning.) If you're curious about how much stuff we've shipped, check out the hard work my wife did yesterday:

 

 

 

 

 

(All of the Everything Must Go - July 2008 photos can be found on Flickr.)

 

If you're curious, that mountain of boxes represents almost exactly $300 in media mail shipping costs. This is, by far, the most we've ever shipped at once.

 

More soon and then we should be done until the next round. I'm hoping to have another Everything Must Go in August or September, though it won't be as voluminous as this month's event.

 

Thanks everyone. --Paul

Everything Must Go: More books later today

In the "life works in mysterious ways" department, UPS just dropped off two big boxes of Microsoft Press books for some reason. So I will actually have one last book giveaway today, probably in a few hours (roughly 4:00 or 4:30 EST I think).

 

My wife is taking tomorrow off to get all of the remaining paid for and free items packaged up and shipped. So assuming we've got shipping address info, we should have everything shipped out by Friday at the latest. I'm spending the next few hours going through email and getting the lists all caught up so we can finish this off. I'll post a few more packaging pictures as it is pretty amazing how much stuff is moving out of here this week.

 

Thanks again. --Paul

Everything Must Go continues Tuesday

On Tuesday, July 15, sometime in the mid-afternoon EST, I will post what I think will be the final installment of this month's Everything Must Go event. This was the most complex installment to orchestrate, so sorry for the delays. I'll have some computers, a lot of software (much of it free, but for the cost of shipping), some computer peripherals, and a few other random items. It's a bigger than expected list of stuff.

 

See you tomorrow. :)

Everything Must Go Update

Hi guys, I just wanted to provide a quick update on this month's Everything Must Go event.

 

I lost most of today to Apple's iPhone 3G launch, so I'm going to hold off on the next batch of stuff (PCs/notebooks, hardware, peripherals and software) so I have time to catch up. I still have a number of book-related emails to get to as well, so I will do that first, tonight. My goal is to have the next batch available Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I'll provide a heads-up before it happens.

 

The first shipment is on the way

I'm not sure whether I've discussed this before, but here's how the shipment stuff works: My wife does it all. :)

 

But seriously, she does. I organize the stuff in advance, post it to the Web, and respond to all the emails. I then create documents with shipping info for her and she does the packaging and mailing. She brought the first batch of stuff to the mail today, which consisted of the Xbox 360 and PC games and DVD movies that were paid for as of Thursday night. Here's a picture of the stuff ready to go:

 

 

Tonight, she will package up the remaining paid-for items and the set of books for which I have addresses. Those will get mailed tomorrow or Monday, depending on how things go. (Probably Monday as we're having a yard sale tomorrow.) I will catch up on EMG-related email and work a bit more on the hardware/software items to get that straightened out. Don't worry: Nothing good will end up in the yard sale. :)

 

More info soon...

Everything Must Go: Books

NOTE: This collection is now closed. Thanks for participating! -Paul

 

I've collected a lot of books over the years. Now I'd like to give them to you. Is there a catch? Yes. I just ask that you pay for postage, though I will try to send everything in the cheapest way possible. You don't pay until you get the book(s). You can pay via PayPal or check; I'll include instructions with the shipment. I will ship books outside the US, however you should note that international shipping is often more expensive and time consuming.

 

The books are all used (i.e. "read") but most are in at  least good or very good condition. All books are provided as-is and are described as accurately as possible.

 

If you'd like a book, please email me. Items are provided on a first come, first serve basis only. Sorry.

 

Note: Books that are already taken will be crossed-out. Books that are not given away here will be donated locally.

 

Please don't ask for books you don't want. And remember that books are heavy: Sometimes shipping can get expensive.

Everything Must Go: More tomorrow

Thanks to everyone who participated in today's Everything Must Go event. I'll be posting the remainder of this month's items-some PC hardware and peripherals and a ton of books (the latter of which will be free)-tomorrow afternoon, most likely between 1 and 3 pm EST.

 

Also, unsold games and DVDs will remain available here until Saturday morning at which time they'll be put in a more traditional yard sale in my driveway. :)

 

Thanks! --Paul
