Your Second Chance for Two Strangercrombie Auctions

Posted by on Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 10:33 AM

We made over $50,000 in December's Strangercrombie auction, but we're not quite done yet! "Hot and Hairless" and "The Compleat McSweeney's" were bought, but never paid for or claimed, so we've put them back on the market!

ff86/1233513550-mcweeneycrombie.jpgThe Compleat McSweeney's
Every issue of McSweeney’s from the first issue to the present, courtesy of a generous Stranger reader named Uncle Vinny. The first issue is signed by Dave Eggers and the last issue is signed by Dave Eggers and the rest of the McSweeney’s staff. Containing incontrovertibly great writing by Lydia Davis, Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, David Foster Wallace, George Saunders, Sarah Vowell, William T. Vollmann, Joyce Carol Oates, and many, many others. PRICELESS!

This is currently going for only $301! A steal, for this priceless collection. Click here to bid on the Compleat McSweeney's. (And good news for you out-of-town folks, this item includes free shipping!)

Here are three steps to a hotter you: First, get a $100 gift certificate to Wax On Spa. Then, a one-night pole-dancing workshop put on by the fine, foxy spinnerets at Pole for the Soul. Finally, Shena Lee Photography will do a full pin-up session with the new, slick, and sexy you—including styling by burlesque star Fuschia Foxxx, costumes, and coaching for poses. You’ll get photo prints and a CD of all the images for you to keep. A $400 VALUE!

This package is currently going for only $51! Unbelievable! Click here to bid on Hot 'n' Hairless!

Like all items sold during Strangercrombie, all proceeds from these auctions will go to Treehouse: "Founded in 1988 by a group of social workers frustrated by the lack of resources for kids in their care, Treehouse helps over 4,000 kids a year with clothing, school supplies, tutoring (only one-third of kids in foster care graduate from high school, and only 3 percent graduate from college), and other critical services."

Good luck to all bidders, and thanks for being a part of Strangercrombie.

Wow, the McSweeney's gift looks great. As for the other gift: why would anyone bid on such a piece of fucking shit?

The McSweeny's gift does look great, which is why you should all run away from it, because I'm the $301 bid.

Fun? Experiences? Who needs that when you can fill up your bookshelf with old magazines that will impress Knute Berger if he ever stops by. Omg women and young people are so dumb, aren't they #2?

I want the other one, but I'm also poor, so I'm not going to needlessly run up the auction. Charity schmarity.

Bah. You don't like the luscious cupcake featured in the post? I'm sad for you, really I am.
