East Bay Depot on Bay Area Backroads

Glorious Depot Merchandise:

As always, there is tons on new items being donated and made available at the Depot every day. Recent great new products include:

Tie Silk is Back for one Final Engagement
You love tie silk, we love silk, everybody loves tie silk. The East Bay Depot has gotten in its final donation of glorious silk swatches. Thousands of samples with bright colors, designs, and patterns. This time we have extra large samples in addition to our usual packs of rolled sqaures. Bulk priced at $6.00 a pound.

I repeat, this is the last supply of tie silk we will be getting, and once it is gone, it is gone for good. Despite our huge quanitity available now, it does sell very fast.

Giant Rolls of upholstery fabric
All these rolls feature yard after gorgeous yard of high quality fabrics in several designs. New styles are coming in soon. The best news, right now full rolls are discounted amuch as 75%!

Music on Vinyl
Dust off your old record player and get ready for a trip into the world of aural delights. Depot LPs are only a dollar a piece. We have hits records (and obscure finds) in every genre: Show Tunes, Classical, Rock, Hip-Hop, Sound Effects, Kids Records, Jazz, tons of 80s stuff, and even the occasional Punk Rock record. The Depot also has a big selection of 45s, 78s, and the those awesome Califone classroom record players that are kind of clunky but never break.

Novelty toys and games
such as fish pens, mini lava lamps, travel checkers games, magnetic dart boards, wind-up dancing robots, and cute animal pencils. All now only 25¢ each!

Hundreds of movie on VHS (and occasionally on DVD)
and not just direct-to-video duds. We're talking Star Wars, Disney videos, Film Noir classics, Titanic, Forrest Gump, and basically everything else. Only $2 each. Kids shorts are even less!

Plus so much other stuff it really is difficult to even begin to explain. You had better just come and see for yourself.
