2008 Fall Sale

The dates for the Fall Sale have been chosen. They are: Oct. 11-13, Oct. 18-20, and Oct. 25-28.


Collector's Corner

Collector’s Corner is a special room that houses books, records, video sets, and other items that are priced individually. They may include first editions, books signed by the author, video sets, or other high quality items.

Items are priced based on their value and condition. Prices are reduced after the first weekend on a percentage basis.

Since the room is relatively small, we limit the number of customers to seven at one time. Items purchased in Collector’s Corner must be purchased before leaving the room.

Senior Citizens Day

At each sale we designate one day for those over the age of 60 or with physical disabilities to shop when the sale is officially closed.
