Saturday, April 04, 2009Thanks everyoneSo 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 Labels: Everything Must Go [ Posted at 5:20 PM | Permalink ]

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. Also... Labels: Everything Must Go [ Posted at 2:57 PM | Permalink ]
Everything Must Go: BooksNOTE: These items are all now taken, sorry. --PaulThere'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 goJust a heads-up about what will and will not be included this week, generally speaking.I will have...

Everything Must Go 101I'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 Labels: Everything Must Go [ Posted at 10:36 AM | Permalink ]
Thursday, January 29, 2009UPDATE: Next Everything Must Go installment delayed to APRIL 4UPDATE: 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.Labels: Everything Must Go [ Posted at 10:29 AM | Permalink ]
Friday, July 18, 2008Everything Must Go: Second major shipment is on the wayIf 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 Labels: Everything Must Go [ Posted at 2:37 PM | Permalink ]
