LANDMARK LEFT OVER INVENTORY FOR SALE
As many of you know we closed the doors at Landmark on July 15th and moved the last of our inventory out of the building two weeks ago. What we have left is stored at my house or in a pod on Landmark's property. While we will continue to operate leagues and tournaments out of various gyms, we have a lot of item left over.
I also operated another business where we bought auctions from retailers, mainly Staples and Home Depot. We are selling everything we had left in the building from SWOB and my other business at 15 - 40% of retail value. We are trying to get rid of all this inventory by the early November. There are things from basketball shorts, a few gym itmes, office supplies, printers, lighting fixtures, filing cabinets, monitors and on and on.
I have attached a list of the items we have left to sell. The number on the left is the price we are asking and the number to the right is how many of this item we have. We would also be willing to sell the whole lot for $5000 or a good offer if someone is in the resale business or has an interest. INVENTORY LIST
If you are interested in any of the items on the list or interested in purchasing any of the items on the list (or the whole lot) you can email me at tom_sunderman@yahoo.com or text me at (513) 235-9007. I am also open to buying partial lots. Everything listed is pickup only or I can meet at a close location nearby.
FYI - We also have about 75 Halloween costumes we ordered last year. They are all youth sizes mainly from baby to youth large. Here is the list if you are interested in any of these. COSTUME LIST
Thanks for all your support over the years and we look to work with you in the future!
