FOR SALE is currently making available 43 featured LITERARY, DESIGN, AND ART BOOKS — a small subset of the what’s in our inventory (which for example includes 385 other such books). The way this works is: YOU MAKE AN OFFER and if we like your suggestion, we set up an exchange, and YOU GET THE OBJECT. Our items are listed with suggested prices, but CUPCAKES ARE LEGAL TENDER here at OST, and so is anything you can imagine — our o/b/o bidding system imposes no restrictions on units of currency. For Sale is a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBJECTS IN SPACE AND TIME.

IN SHORT: We are fostering an environment where like-minded individuals can exchange their goods — both the purchased and the personally produced — as part of a larger conversation. We’re implementing a system where our users can list their own materials to offer as well.

The current available selection is from our personal library. We’re all designers, photographers, writers, and artists — we’re that specific strain of nerd, basically, and our catalog is reflective of that.

Search terms can also include colors, like “peach” or “lavender.” ⫸

Five of the latest books ^⤴

We are running with an invite-only userbase not because we’re pretentious dickholes. Naturally we want to provide a pleasant and entertaining commercial online experience; we want to purvey awesome design-related physical objects, and not fraudulent hucksters or craigslist-dwelling dispensers of free backrubs. We’re a small team — like really small, in fact we are one guy with a laptop, and so yeah the “we” is a total affectation. So “we’ll” be very happy to let you in once we’re out of beta and everything has been checked and thoroughly vetted for a total lack of fuckedupedness.

On that note, welcome, and enjoy.
