First of all, we’re fine, mom. Don’t mail us money.
Second, I have no gigs on the calendar for the next month or so. Something about churches being busy with this thing they call “Christmas” and…oh, and I have a broken freaking hand! So I’m getting creative.
Third, I found some stuff sitting around the house that we’re no longer using so why not sell it? Yes, to you. Just shoot me an e-mail if you want any of it.
Blackberry Storm 2
I got a Storm 2 so I could stay in touch with family and tweet from outside the U.S. When I bought it Verizon gave me another for free if I re-upped my contract. So I did. It was activated and then deactivated and put back in the box a minute later. Never been used. Only works on Verizon network. How’s $150 sound?
Yamaha Compass North CPX15N
This is an electric acoustic guitar I used to play. For years, actually. When Yamaha stopped making this model they gave me its successor, which isn’t as pretty. I only need one guitar and Yamaha doesn’t want this one back, so it’s yours if you want it. Retailed for $1700 but I’ve seen them used like this for as little as $700.
I should warn you, the case for this guitar isn’t in great shape. But, if you tote this bad boy around you will look like you’ve been touring for ages. And that’s worth something right?
Boy Construction Quilt & Rug
We got this rug and quilt from Company Kids ages and ages ago. It’s in perfect shape. What’s that worth?
Girl Flower Quilt
Also from Company Kids. Also in perfect shape. Also have no idea how much it’s worth.
If you want any of this stuff just e-mail me. It’s yours.
Diana says:
I just sent you an email about the truck quilt! Good luck with the sale!
JessicaB says:
This is the weirdest post I’ve ever seen on here.
Katie says:
I second this motion
Shaun Groves says:
Is that a bad thing?
Princess Leia says:
Fits right into the “Mommy blogger” category to me!
JessicaB says:
That depends.
Are you trying to earn a Star on the Mommywood Bloggers Walk of Fame?
Shaun Groves says:
Come on! With the exception of the flower quilt this is very manly stuff.
Technology? Manly.
Guitar with road-dogged case? Manly.
Construction site bedding? (small) Manly.
JessicaB says:
That is one big estrogen packed exception.
And I think it’s only manly if you’re selling it while sitting on the back of a pick up truck. In the baking sun. While telling war stories. And chewing tobacco.

I’m with Shaun on this.
Fight the power, buddy. 🙂

Hmmm, a Shlog-Sale? Very interesting! I laughed at loud when you told you mom not to mail money. I have to be very careful with my postings or else my teeny-tiny-fixed income Mama sends me Paypal.
I hope you raise the funds you need.
Are you still going to to be coming to Houghton in January? I’m not sure if it is a speaking or musical engagement, but I’m signed up to work the morning shift at the Compassion table. Hope your hand is feeling better!
Megan @ Faith Like Mustard says:
Shlog-Sale…love it! 🙂
rhonda says:
Dude…short term disablity insurance.. for the next time.. (I totally believe that God will provide and all, but I’m one of those that thinks that might be the way.)
But should you need it, I’d be willing to pitch into a shaun-fund! Just pass the hat, man…;)
Shaun Groves says:
We’re in a medical experience sharing program. We pay the bills and get reimbursed. Like insurance, but much much cheaper.
And we’re not broke. We’re just planning ahead so at the end of January we WON’T be broke ; )
Megan @ Faith Like Mustard says:
Do you like it? Have you had it long? I’ve always been intrigued by those groups, but too scared to try. 🙂
Amy D. says:
Megan, have you been to Kit’s site? She is on it and she loves it. 🙂
Kit says:
Yeah, we use one of those too, it’s very nice– works well, and much more palpitable than traditional insurance 🙂
Karen says:
Getting rid of ‘extra’ stuff is liberating…and if you can make money while doing it that is even better! Maybe you can fund a new pair of jeans for your wife! 🙂
Victoria B says:
Shaun,
Have you tried this place in Franklin? They pay cash for stuff and you won’t get rich, but some money is better than no money:
onceuponachild.com
Also, I took my gold jewelry to the jewelry store next door to 9 Fruits in Cool Springs and got $450.
Sorry about your hand!! Victoria
Adam says:
Just for clarity…the guitar is $700?
Jennifer Pelletier says:
Wow. I’m glad you’re not up here scalping “Pageant” tickets…. 😛
Get what you can for what you’re done with. No shame in that. 🙂
Sharon O says:
wow this is a bit different.
But I can relate. I have lot of antique dolls I have no idea what to do with. I tried Ebay and I have not tried craigslist yet. my grand daughters will not sleep in the spare bedroom, they say ‘grandma the dolls are looking at us’…
I really do need help.
I can’t just give them away, I need the money for them. Please pray.
rebecca in etx says:
love your blog, love it!!
Kim says:
You should totally autograph all of this stuff before you let it go. You might get more for it that way. 😉
benstewart says:
I’m just surprised there’s not a theological dissertation on having too much stuff mixed with a modern day parable about selling your possessions or something like that to go along with this sale. I guess having a broken hand has its perks for some of us. 🙂
Kidding! Love you, Shaun… in a totally manly, construction quilt kind of way.
Shaun Groves says:
If I don’t have bookings in February…well, I’ll have two good fists…I mean hands, by then. ; )
jen says:
I’m surprised that there’s no mention of what has happened at ye old “Let’s make a record” site. Is it a surprise? Should I not have said anything – like when a mom blogger is pregnant but doesn’t want everyone to know?
Shaun Groves says:
Yes. It’s EXACTLY like that.
