More shameless self-promotion.

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/emd/949070381.html

Hi there,
My name is Michael and I edit ION Magazine, a fashion/music/art/film publication in downtown Vancouver. One of the perks of working here is we get a lot of promotional CDs, DVDs and video games sent to us that we didn’t ask for. I think people want us to review them or something. This blessing has unfortunately become a cruel bitch of a curse as we are moving offices at the end of the month and don’t wish to bring all this stuff with us. Thus I am offering up a massive and magical mystery lot of promotional swag for whoever can make the most interesting trade offer. I’m not going to lie to you, a lot of this is crap that none of the writers wanted. There are quite a few gems in there though and you will do a back flip if you regularly purchase Putamayo world music albums from Starbucks. I am confident an enterprising young person with too much time on their hands could make well over a thousand dollars selling all this to used CD/DVD stores.

There are over 800 CDs of every imaginable genre. Some of these are promo CDs and don’t come with album art. There are probably a few doubles. I will try my best to make sure every case has the proper CD in it.

There are about 100 DVDs of every imaginable genre. Some of these are screener DVDs that don’t come in their case. There are probably a few doubles. There are a few boxed sets in their original wrapping and the entire Masters of Horror series that comes in a life-sized novelty skull container.

There are 8 Xbox 360 games including that make-a-movie game that Burt Reynolds is in the ad for which has never been opened.

I will also throw in 5 James Bond Blu-rays that have never been opened and maybe some other goodies we have kicking around the office.

Here is the deal:
We are after interesting trades.
Creativity is key. Artwork, a really great essay on why you deserve all this stuff could win it for you. Something insane might win it for you as well. Or an interesting service you can offer (Nothing sexual. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t say this but I know how you Craigslist lurkers roll).
We are going to list this in this section of Craigslist three times for three days each. With each update I will include the top offers so far.
We will not ship.
We will not list off anything in this lot.
You may not come by to sift through it all.
You need to pick this all up in Gastown on a mutually agreed upon date before 21 December.
You can make a cash offer if you want and this money will be given to charity. Specifically, it will be used to buy the staff alcohol.

There you have it. So go on, make us an offer we can’t refuse.
Thank you for your time and please disregard the stains on the carpet.

Although injury is a possibility, I promise not to execute any “finishing moves”. If the first event is satisfying, I am open to further scenarios.
