Okay. That’s it. I give up.

Over the last few days, I’ve been trying to sort through the tons of boxes that have for the most part been sitting in storage for the last several years to try and find space for all this stuff, and there just isn’t any. The floors are wall-to-wall with boxes, crates, palletes, you name it, the detritus of decades of making shows and writing comics and being a pack-rack. It has literally grown to overflow two rental storage facilities.

So starting sometime probably next week, the week of the 11th, and from time to time over the next month or so, keep an eye on Ebay.

The Ebay user ID is babylon5auctions.

JMS says in a subsequent post thay he’s going to ship everything FedEx, for like five bucks an item, so worldwide delivery won’t be a problem.

See the full post for an idea of the scope of this Straczynski bonanza.

Update: The first batch of auctions has gone up.

Predictably and depressingly, the prices, a day in, are already well outside my reach. I’d still recommend looking at the auction items, though. Joe has added a “director’s commentary”-style background blurb to each item. Neat reading.
