Stuff that works.

Lamps that light. Chairs that hold. Clocks that tick. Comes with whatever guarantee Fred is in the mood for that day.

38 in stock See room →
II

Stuff that worked once.

A radio with a story. A typewriter missing its R. Mostly here for the look and the conversation, and yes, we know.

52 in stock See room →
III

Stuff that's about the look.

Hat blocks. Bird cages. A bust of someone who was probably famous in 1924. Decorative, full stop. Sold as such.

How buying works Same as 1972
1

You walk the yard.

Touch what you want. Sit in the chair. Hold the lamp up to the light. Fred will be watching, but only because Fred is always watching.

2

We tag it.

If you like it, we write up a tag — lot number, condition, price, your name. Bring the tag to the office in front. No tag, no sale.

3

We take cash, card, or trade.

You walk out with it the same day. Or we deliver inside the 110 freeway on Tuesdays. Beyond that, we discuss.

Recently pulled · this month 14 sold · 2 returned

The wall of the shop where Fred staples the tags from things people bought. Sometimes the buyer writes back. We hang those up too.

Half this business is people ringing up asking if we still have the lamp. Yes. Probably. Call before you drive.

Parking on Central. Loading dock around the back, ring the bell. The big yellow dog is friendly. The smaller one isn't.
