Warehouse Sale Saturday, January 31, 2009

I'm lonely and have too much inventory ... please come and solve both problems at once!

This Saturday I am opening the new warehouse for a blow-out sale. I mainly need to sell educational and hobby kits for kids. Come see the biggest selection of educational science kits, robot kits, plastic and wood model kits you have ever seen in one place. Everything on display will be on sale with many items below my cost. Unlike simple toys that completely fade from memory after a few weeks, these kits teach your kids science and engineering information and skills that last a lifetime. The selection includes products from the web site and lots of other things too! You will have a lot of fun looking and see deals too hard to pass by.

I will also have odds and ends of my regular electronic and robot products but the sale is primarily for kids products. No kids? Grab something for a niece, nephew or neighbor or to scavenge for your next project. Please tell your friends!

When: Saturday, January 31, 2008 from 10:00am until 3pm.
Where: 282 Harbor Way, Unit D, South San Francisco, CA 94080

Other Details

Please note: This is really a warehouse. Its not a great environment for young kids or dress-up clothes. The warehouse often feels colder than outdoors, dress warm! There is plenty of street parking ... the building parking lot is reserved for other tenants.

I don't have my own signage, just walk in the garage door at the front of the building near the "282" sign. If you get lost or need other help on Saturday call 650-588-4646. I will be working with little or no help, so things may get hectic during the middle of the day. If time allows I'll be glad to help with products from my regular inventory or give you the grand tour.

Can't make it to the warehouse this Saturday? I have lots of on-line specials too:

Don't forget to browse the rest of the site for thousands of other gift and project items at my normal great prices.

Would you like to be able to shop in person at Hobby Engineering on a regular basis? I want to help! But I need your help -- please shop at this sale and then keep coming back for your project supplies. I need to get Hobby Engineering Internet fully healthy again before reopening the store -- my first attempt at retail just about killed me. I know a lot more about retail now, but I'm still dumb enough to give it another try. One thing I've learned is that while every successful retail store needs a web site, successful web sites don't need retail stores. Hobby Engineering will be a purely on-line store while the retail business will have a different name, different (but overlapping) product mix and different policies. Curious? Take a peek:
