Don’t Miss Out on Your 2009 Tax Break!!!

How’s this for a great holiday gift?

Donate your gently used junque to the MV Big Flea and take a tax deduction for 100% of the item value.  We sell them items and 100% of the proceeds are used to support the educational programs of the Mount Vernon Community School PTA.

While this is an awesome deal, it won’t last soon!  All donations must be received before December 31 in order to qualify for a 2009 tax break.  Fortunately, the Big Flea is sponsoring a Donation Drop-Off Day this Saturday, December 12 from 11am to 1pm at 409 E Alexandria Avenue in the Del Ray section of Alexandria.  Come one, come all!

We’re looking for furniture, household items, kid gear, sporting equipment, electronics, undiscovered Picassos and Renoirs, diamond jewelry and gold coin collections.  And automobiles.  Click on the “Donation Guide” at the top of this page for details on what we need, as well as photos of some great items we received last year.  And while you’re at it click on the “For Sale” sign at left to see what we’re currently selling.

Don’t miss this great opportunity!

Keep On Rockin’ with Great LP & CD Deals!

I know that CDs are somewhat passe these days.  And as for LPs….you know, records?  Well, you practically have to be a dinosaur if you ever had an LP in your life!

But for those of us still in love with these old skool formats, have we got some deals for you.  The MV Big Flea recently received several hundred compact discs and long-playing record albums.  We’re still going through them all, but what a great collection we’ve got!  Mostly rock and roll from the 1970s and 1980s, there are also a smattering of jazz, folk, soundtracks, compilations and more.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be listing these items for sale, mostly grouped in similar categories.  So if you’re looking for some early 1970s reggae vinyl or a 10-CD set of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, come back soon.  You can see what’s currently for sale by clicking on our “For Sale” banner at left.  And if you just can’t wait and need to know NOW what we have, contact Joe LaMountain at joseph.lamountain@gmail.com.
