Collector's Corner

Collector’s Corner is a special room that houses books, records, video sets, DVD sets, textbooks published in the past 2 years, and other items that need to be priced individually. This may include first editions, books signed by the author, and 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 must be purchased before leaving the Collector's Corner room.

Here are some of the items which were for sale during the Spring 2010 sale.
