This semester is almost over and we can’t wait to graduate. Thank you for a lovely semester, it was one we will never forget! HAGS!!!!
Someone named Anna B. dropped these and I picked them up. What this tells me about Anna B: 1. She is a pyro 2. She gets bored in class and doodles 3. She likes owls and whales 4. She is…
old school education… priceless.
Anything that has a headphone jack can suddenly because your car radio station! I live in the city now and it doesn’t work because all FM frequencies are taken.
La Herencia Del Ranchero. Uncle Aniceto passes away, and much to the displeasure of his family, leaves his fortune to his good friend Genovevo. Soon after, Genovevo “disappears,” and a new will appears, leaving the inheritance to whomever finds Genovevo…
Ok, so I bought with the suggestion of a friend who said doing inside corners on mat board sucks unless you have one of these. I honestly didn’t know I would never use it during my studies at CCS. A…
I took a class last semester called Consciousness, Create and Bliss. I now meditate on a regular basis and this book was required reading. I’m hoping someone will read this, and find as much inspiration from it as I did!
It’s a shame that these sunglasses aren’t my style because they are the only pair that I have been able to keep track of over the years. Hopefully someone fancies them more than I do!
A few summers ago I saw a local show in Pontiac in which the people I went with didn’t have much appreciation for the bands. I felt bad that my friends were being rude, and the bands had awesome merch….
Shortly after moving to Detroit I realized how much I rely on my dad for basic car upkeep. Within my first few weeks downtown I learned how to check my tire pressure.
I bought this solar paper from the DIA with hopes of conducting many photogram experiments! However I was so nervous about exposing the paper before being ready that I never even opened it. Hopefully someone braver than I am can…
My brother was a part of a band called Brandenburg many years ago. Since their break-up my family has tried to find a home for bins and bins of t-shirts!
1000 Journals Project was the first collaborative experiment I had the pleasure of coming across. The whole project is based on following the journal throughout its travels. It only seems appropriate to keep it moving!
Every year for Christmas I receive lock lubricator as a stocking stuffer. I have never had the unfortunate event of my locks being frozen, but hopefully this finds its way to being helpful for someone else!
I’ve never been a fan of car air fresheners. Not entirely sure where these came from, but hopefully someone can put them to good use!
I tend to be an impulsive buyer. These cards were purchased from Anthropology on clearance. I was so excited about being able to buy something in the store I failed to realize my realistic use for them.
Christmas trees need swag. Dress up yours today! Includes: 2 sets of red and white glass ordainments (half frosted, half not) red & white felt tree skirt with snowflake design white ribbon with gold trim Does not include: star
I have never owned a video camera, and somehow this Mini DV tape has found its way amongst my things over the years. Nothing against the tape, but I think it will be better served with someone who has a…
Everything is going neon—including your fishing line! Will not work for magic tricks. Never been opened.
I bought this to make fruit smoothies for breakfast. But then I ran out of fruit. It did a really good job of making fruit smoothies in the morning though. If I had more fruit, I’d probably keep it.
I purchased these postcards while on a trip in Seattle last spring. Instead of mailing them to friends and family at home, they have stayed bundled and propped on my windowsill. I’m sure there are friends and family that would…
Cigarettes have taken up a lot of my time and money these past three years. Hopefully whoever purchases these is doing it out of support and not to pick up where I left off.
Dis here is one uh dem koozie thangs. I have way too many drankin’ doohickeys and this one just aint cuttin’ it.
fresh, no. organic, maybe. delicious, absolutely.
This costume has been used on two occasions, both of which ended badly. This costume is a great device to hide in during crappy Halloween parties. It may cause destruction of friendships.
I’m a little saddened to see her go, but she is getting ugly in her old age. She has fallen off my dashboard a few times and has seen the bottom of a few feet, so I’m letting Shinola free…
that feeling with all that carbs hits your stomach..mmmm…
This ruler was purchased in Savannah, GA and has traveled many miles with me, but this little guy has to part ways with me due to differences in opinion on the topic of x-acto blades. He doesn’t like ‘em, I…
I bought this, because I was really excited that Blink 182 came out with a new album. I only listened to it twice, I wasn’t impressed. The album art is kinda cool though.
I bought this in New York last year at the Kid Robot shop. I forgot I am not a hat person, so it still has the tags on it.
I’ve had this shirt since I was 7. It was the first time my dad send stuff to his family after he left for LA. This shirt was originally given to my guy cousin who was 5’10 at the age…
Bought these thinking the kids I was babysitting at the time would like to do some crafts…only ended up opening 2 of the 5, hopefully some other children can find enjoyment in them.
Here is a book with great posters and lessons to be learned.
This is a handmade leather bracelet that I bought at Arts Beats and Eats two years ago. I used to wear it all the time.
I really felt like I needed these paper crimpers at the time, but I really don’t have much use of butterfly or star embossed paper anymore…
I don’t remember where I got this from. It’s a really cool bracelet but the shells always pinched my skin when I wore it. (small wrist recommended)
Someone left this at my house once, no one claimed it.
I got this as a joke when I was in New York. It’s really big and ridiculous.
These golf balls are signed by a former first place junior league golf champion. Monica’s golf career was epic and saw many highs. Her climb to the top was moving too fast so she soon retired in order to keep…
This backpack was purchased for a ripoff but has held up quite well. It just isn’t my style anymore; I used it for almost three years though!
This is a piece of a typographic installation. We were donated the letter R from a random person. If your name is Randy, Russ, or Ryan, you should purchase this! Back has hanging devices. Works best on a corner.
Satori Circus is a dear friend of mine… I feel as though me keeping this wonderful poster rolled up without a place to hang it does not do him justice! Find a better home for him!
This is a nice turntable that I originally paid for (used) at $120.00. I don’t have an amplifier for it so I never use it. It needs a new needle but that’ll be pennies on the dollar for what you…
I received this as a gift from an ex-girlfriend that I no longer want to think about. Good riddance!
I purchased this thinking “what a cool looking hat!” without trying it on. I look like an idiot in it and, while I love the Tigers, I do not love how dumb I look wearing this.
I used to be in bands but those days are over. I had a few of these left over and thought, hey, it’s a funny pun, and I don’t really want to remember those days any more.
I have no real reason for owning these, to be frank. I suppose I am somewhat of a collector and that makes me want to take things and collect them. Priced to include legal fees for stealing.
I purchased this backpack to travel with. It carries a LOT of stuff while still somehow managing to fit under a plane seat. I don’t even know how. It’s basically Mary Poppins’ backpack. It was extremely useful until I bought…
This golf ball sucks. I never once beat my dad with it. Maybe it will be lucky for you?
What the fuck was I thinking?
Little drops of heaven that helped me through my sickness.
I used to wear this a lot. It’s pretty clunky and heavy though. But if you are a boss, you can probably handle it.
I had to buy this book for a class. It was a really boring class. This book isn’t interesting, at all. But maybe you will find a use for it.
These were at my boyfriends parents house, and they were about to throw them away. I was like: WHAT! No way.
Limited edition screen printed poster for the hiphop artist Del the Funky Homosapien. A great hip hop artist who was awesome live but I don’t have a great place to hang this poster. Hopefully someone does!
This pen is amazing. It’s my best friend but I think this pen could use another pal. [:
It was a gift from Adam Taub. He gives crazy gifts. It has sat in the basement for over 12 years. I haven’t played with action figures since my mid-twenties. Never been opened. Comes with a severed ear. Enjoy!
Held a cactus until the cactus died because I couldn’t figure out the proper amount of light for it. I was a plant beginner and probably will remain a plant beginner. Sorry, Cactus. You smelled weird.
Individually numbered Mogwai screenprinted poster. This poster is a favorite of mine but don’t have a good place to hang it… so I’m hoping a fan of the band will stumble upon this and find a nice resting place for…
This is pretty hard to give up. I got this a few years ago and have used it to death. WARNING: There is a pretty significant tear on the left side of the bag near the strap (you might be…
Had to buy this for a computer art class at Luther college 4 years ago. Used it regularly until I let a friend borrow it and she broke the stylus pen. The pad is pretty small (mini) and works well. All…
This external hardrive, although still works perfectly on PCs, almost undermined my entire freshman year, four years ago, at CCS when it decided to erase all of my files. YAY. 320 GB. Not compatible with MACs. Compatible with PCs.
Received this gift 2 years ago from Adam Taub. My friends are crazy coffee lovers. Tried to use this thing. WAY too much effort—I mean—I have a Keurig.
These are a waste of my time because I already know my future. I’d rather pass the good fortune on to others rather than hogging it all myself. Works best by adding “in bed” and the end of the fortune….
This is the best game for XBox ever. I have broken so many ankles and jammed on so many jabronis in this game. I thought someone else could enjoy the satisfactory feeling of AND-1 mixtaping someone.
All Dark Wing Duck episodes in one single, solitary set. What more could a kid ask for? I purchased this to share my childhood with my younger brothers, but they were really confused when it wasn’t Dora the Explorer.
A classic piece of 70s kitsch, with untimely tips for remodeling kitchens and maybe even instructions on how to make a groovy macramé plant hanger for that dead corner in any room.
Really easy to take care of—only problem is he is small and gets lost easily in my room. Hopefully the new owner can be more responsible than I am. Asteroid not included.
Found while cleaning apartment when moving in 6 years ago. Never turned it on while I’ve had it.
Hi, you’ve reached the landline answering machine of six pixels under. Please leave a message after the tone.
I lost my shorts on this real estate deal, enough said.
Remember landline phones? Remember how everyone has cell phones now? Remember how cool they were? Don’t you wish you could step back in time? Now you can! By owning this limited edition VTech phone you can make sure your nostalgia…
A-Z labels for Manilla folders. Would make for excellent typographic explorations or for an even better organizational system. Used about 30 of the stickers for a project. The rest are all there!
Bought this with the intent to use it as a portable lamp. Turns out that it has a cord and isn’t very portable. It gives off a nice frosted glow though!
Limited numbers left of no. 38, please someone give it a good home.
A must for the circus lover, or the lover of amazing 70s kitsch. Great crowd seen on the inside covers, lots of polyester and handle-bar mustaches. Come one, come all!
“When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of BEER.” — WORDS TO LIVE BY
Built this in a materials and processes class at CCS. Fantastic quality. Haven’t found a personal use for it yet—hopefully someone else has a better idea for its use.
I purchased this humidifier over 7 years ago now and has traveled all over with me. The room I currently sleep in a room that is too large for this size of a humidifier. A cool feature with this humidifier…
It was the worst gift for my 22nd Birthday. This sat under my car seat for 3 months, but before that, I hope someone wore it to very important events in nice places.
This one simply sells itself, think about it, a Supergirl Coloring Book for $.50. A super steal indeed.
A piece from the archive that symbolizes a more carefree time, when Saturdays were spent in thrift stores in search of ironic women’s pulp "literature".
Hopes, dreams, nightmares, and tears are all neatly packed into this plastic tupperware for your convenience (not dishwasher safe).
Many a night was spent working hard under this little cutie. Please give it a hard working home.
This is a nightlight from IKEA that I thought was awesome looking and it was a bonus that it lights up blue. It comes with a charger and holds a charge for a very, very long time. Super neat and…
This iPod dock and cable came with my iPod. I used it quite extensively until the new Lightning charger came out. Works with iPhone 3, 3g, 4, and 4s. Great for using as a stand when your iPhone is your…
First coasters I ever owned by myself, but have since upgraded my set to something a little nicer. They function well and really hold a drink nicely. When cleaned, they look even nicer!
Another lamp that made my bright room too bright. I need to get rid of it because I prefer my rooms to be slightly darker than they currently are. Fits well into any space and has a nice switch to…
I found this test print and loved it, so I took it and framed it. It has been sitting on my fireplace mantle. I want to update my art collection and have no more room for it. Hopefully it finds…
I purchased this after taking Drawing II class for a second time. It got me through the class with a passing grade. Note: Talent not included. Do not expect to draw better when purchasing charcoal.
I have never played this game. I don’t even know how I got it. But I am of the opinion that as far as sport video games go, basketball are the most fun to play behind NFL Blitz for N64….
This 20gb iPod is still works and stores all of my music from around 2007. I have very little use for it now that I have a 32gb iPhone. It was my first way to listen to music without having…
I rarely video game these days, but once the Wii came out, this bad boy sat in a drawer. It was mainly used to play NBA Street Volume 2 because that game is awesome. So, if you’re in the mood…
I housed a wonderful palm tree in this planter, until the tree died due to lack of attention. I haven’t found a plant I have connected with like said palm tree, so I think this vessel should be filled with…
Bought an XBox recently and now need controllers? Game away on these bad boys. All buttons work and you can even chat it up on XBox Live should you have the headphone accessory. I beat my brother several times on…
Unused 2011-2012 planner, saved for a time traveler that I hoped I would meet. I never met that time traveler, and now I’m broken-hearted. Due to this heartbreak, I’m hoping a random time traveler will purchase this from me.
If you’re a student at the College for Creative Studies, this will be quintessential to creating process books as it was for me. If you’re not a student at CCS, then you can probably put a lot of different documents…
This rice cooker has provided me enough rice to make at least 15 woks full of stir fry. It has prevented me from going hungry and for that I thank it. Hopefully it can find a home where people will…
I bought these to lighten a dark room, but now the rooms are too light. Removing this from my living room dims it just a little bit, making it just dark enough but just light enough as well.
My uncle is a dentist and gave me this toothpaste to last a while. There is a lot of it and I don’t need the excess. The toothpaste is for those who have sensitive teeth. Note: item does not come…
DuckTales changed my life and I purchased this hoping to change my little brothers’ lives. But now they’re too old and I have no one to watch this with… maybe someone else will have a little brother to share this…
This stapler has stapled many essays and helped to complete many assignments. I have found salvation in graduating, and therefore will no longer need to staple essays. I’m sad to see it go because it was my first and only…
This is a fake plant that I regularly watered, thinking it was a real plant. This continued for about a year or so. I still laugh about it from time to time, and it saddens me to get rid of…
Found these at an antique shop years ago. I read one or two letters before I gave up and haven’t looked at them for years. Hopefully someone will keep the love alive and read them all!
O, dehumidifier, you were a great machine for me. But I did not use you enough, and, well, I’m moving. So I would like to bid you farewell for someone who will use you more, clean you more regularly, and…
