<\/p>\nI do need to thin out my massive collection. I have a lot of things in my archive, and I am running out of room in a crowded little house. Then again, there’s also that “lack of money” thing. I’m still grumbling about missing the Sonics reunion in New York tonight. If certain folks would have paid me for work I did two months ago, it wouldn’t have been an issue.<\/p>\n
It’s time to sell out. Make some extra dough. Get some more space. Find some folks with money willing to pay top dollar on eBay. I’ve decided to try a little experiment. Rather than just post some of these items immediately, I’ve decided to write up a preview list of things I plan to sell, which I’ll post to this very blog, and the eBay auctions themselves. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One particular that really should bring me some decent money will be the Japanese laser disc of the jazz documentary “Let’s Get Lost” starring Chet Baker.<\/strong> This is one of my personal favorites, and it’s been out of print for a long time. I’m guessing the Chet Baker estate probably had some second thoughts about re-issuing this film, as some of the family members don’t come across too favorable. Then again, Chet Baker didn’t come across that favorable, as he was a manipulative con-artist, junkie romantic that broke a lot of hearts and hurt a lot of people. That being said, this is a fascinating story about a very talented man that made beautiful music. The photography of this documentary is also quite beautiful, as it’s directed by fashion photographer Bruce Weber,<\/strong> and showcases some stunning photos taken in the 1950’s by William Claxton<\/strong>. This film has never been on DVD, and finding a VHS copy is a real challenge. What I’ll be selling is an extremely rare Japanese laser disc. If you don’t mind reading Japanese subtitles, this may be a perfect addition to your archives.<\/p>\n Some of the other goodies I plan to be offering in near future auctions include:<\/p>\n You can see my auctions by clicking here<\/a>. All auctions will last 10 days, and I hope to sell most of these items well before the Christmas rush in case some of you want to use this to buy something special for someone you love.<\/p>\n\n
