The latest massive to drop onto Shopping Spy’s radar is this announcement from Green Apple Books – who are not – repeat – not going out of business:
“We only have a few weeks left to sell off the last 30,000 used books at our Warehouse Clearance Sale, so they’re all priced to move: Gold is $13,859.36/pound; filet mignon is $20.00/pound (at Guerra’s on Taraval); the current issue of The New Yorker is $14.40/pound; jujubes are $9.44/pound; Uncle Ben’s brown rice is $3.36/pound; and all used books at our Warehouse Clearance Sale are $0.99/pound.
“If you agree that books are more valuable than Jujubes, please come browse the grand finale of our sale store at 248 Clement at Fourth Avenue. The store is better organized than it has ever been, and a quick check this morning showed many good reads still on the shelves.
“P.S. Please help staunch any rumors you may hear about Green Apple Books going out of business; only our temporary Warehouse Clearance Sale at 248 Clement is closing.
“Check back for even further reductions as this final fortnight or so turns into the final days.”
