Great California Garage Sale |
LOS ANGELES -- Fortune teller machines, antique pianos, not to mention $5 jeans and a $25 Blackberry PDAs are just some of what the state is selling at the "Great California Garage Sale" this weekend.
The state's economic crisis has Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger rummaging through the state's clutter to raise funds.
The sale is being held in a Sacramento warehouse with entire sections devoted to computers, bikes, electronics, tools and equipment, furniture and vehicles.
The sale started Friday, but continues through Saturday. Some of the garage sale deals include: • $5 surplus jeans and shirts from the Department of Corrections • $25 Blackberry cell phones • $30 wood desks • $100 antique pianos from California State Parks • $150 vintage scale and fortune teller machine donated to the Department of Motor Vehicles • $200 laptop computers • $2,200 BMW motorcycles from the California Highway Patrol fleet
Good to know before you go: • Everything is on a "first come, first serve" basis • Everything is "cash and carry" only - you must pick up your items when you buy them • Vehicles must be picked up within five days • The only ways to pay are with cash, cashier's check, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX or Discover • Computers will be sold with a "blank slate" containing no operating system
