Posted on behalf of THL Wyn, who is busy pricing things:

If you have not already heard, I am having a HUGE SCA YARD SALE this
SUNDAY, May 23, beginning at 1pm. (No early-birds, please.)  No, I am
not quitting the SCA.   In anticipation of moving overseas, I have
decided to sell off much of my SCA stuff rather than pay to store it.
