The Area |
highly visible corner property with high traffic volume at major entrance/exit to the capital city -- State, city, school and other workers to and from work; was jewelry shop in the 1920s, then a major shoe and leather finding wholesaler until Evelio and I purchased it directly from the previous Italian owner some 20+ years ago and turned it into the Evelio Art Studio; old Italian neighborhood, Chambersburg, noted for its fine cuisine and the best pizza anywhere on the border of a major redevelopment zone, the Roebling Complex, with many vintage industrial buildings from the turn of the 20th century -- shopping within 3 blocks -- the new Trenton Arena, a focal point for sporting events, concerts by top recording artists and other activities is 2 blocks away -- Amtrack station with access to the Northeast Corridor within walking distance; frequent daily trains/busses to Philadelphia and New York -- a new train shuttle to the redeveloped Newark waterfront just completed at the end of the adjoining side street bus service to the malls in south Trenton, as well as north along Route 1 to Princeton, stops along this block. the streets and sidewalks are currently being worked on by the city -- old style street lamps are replacing the old crap that was there, and the sidewalks are getting a kewl outer trim of bricks, adding to the traditional olde tyme flavour speculators are gobbling up row homes in the immediate area and quickly turning them into 4-5 small cage-sized apartments which are snapped up by largely Hispanic and other peeps I recently sold a 3-story brick townhouse across the street, where Evelio and I lived for many years and where he had his studio/atelier -- last week they put it up for resale, with very minor interior cosmetic work, at 3+x what they got it for a couple months ago! |

What You Are Getting In This Fabulous Deal |
X - all of the above -- I am currently working on the patio, after which come the garages -- after selling the place across the street, both the shop and the apartment look like warehouses, with things just piled up in boxes from the bottom of the entrance stairwell to the living room, and just about everywhere in between X - Most of the in-shop/basement shop treasures, excepting my personal collection/library/things stashed/displayed there at this time, will also be included in the sale price -- several display cases which may be placed where you want them -- there is no inventory list, so don't ask for one -- most goodies do have a very old reference/price label) -- my reference library info may be seen on my YardSale page, where you may also see pics and info about the brick townhouse I recently sold across the street -- this sale ALSO includes those many things found in what I wanted to start had I to reopen the shop in the future, CapricornioUno, a collectibles area -- all my friends tell me to stay put for another couple years, to reopen the shop and start raking in the buckies again! I just might do that -- it sure would be a lot less work than selling and moving! X X - Scores of boxes of reference books, containing several thousand auction catalogs and other things which I have been selling on eBay for the past 7+ years -- many duplicates, which makes selling easier because you already have the item template, just plug in the html for the items again -- if so desired, I can also include, on CD/s, my files containing thousands of item listings, many of which are related to these books -- these descriptions are the best found on eBay, and as you can see from my feedback, I have been very successful at it over the years! X - any other of my personal things may also be acquired at additional reasonable investment cost, if so desired (reasonable means essentially what I paid for the stuff a long time ago). X - A large double door Diebold safe, located
in the left garage -- X - As an added bonus I shall also throw in the partially developed top level web domains related to all of the above, which number some six as I recall (EvelioArtStudio.com / net -- CapricornioUno.com / net -- WireRopeDistrict.com / net -- a major developer of several businesses in the area of the new Arena wanted me to simply give him the latter, but he didn't offer me anything in exchange, so I told him to bug off! These top level domains are registered at least until late 2005, including hosting -- incidentally, if you are looking for a kewl domain name, I do have a few available, one of which you might like to have for your very own business or personal use -- last Christmas I gave 14 other domains as Holiday surprise gifts to friends to attempt to stimulate their long-time interest in starting their own blog or business web sites -- they were tickled PINK -- X - what you wind up with is basically a turnkey art / antique / collectibles shop, or anything else that your forward looking adventuresome spirit might hanker for
X - incidently #2, I also use this property as the home base for my Wanaisa Ministry, and it would be just right for any religious/spiritual organization activities, including a bookshop, herbalist, worship/meeting/counseling rooms -- the neighborhood is very receptive to these things |

Very Simple Straight Forward Minimalist Conditions Of Personal Property Transfer |
I have had a FOR SALE BY OWNER sign in the front window since last year and get several calls/week about the place, and some seemingly thrilled/motivated lookers -- potential buyers have said they want to make it into a beauty salon, a coin operated laundry, a Chinese fast food joint, among other hypothetical uses -- most are total flakes and call back after weeks/months, again saying they are working on the financing and didn't get back to me sooner because have been visiting relatives in Costa Rica, an emergency came up with the family in Haiti, they didn't sell their old place yet, and a slew of other neverending sagas -- if you are a flakey shaggy dog story teller, bother somebody else for a couple months in your spare time -- I have other more important things to do -- although I am extremely easy to get along with, logical and understanding and always try to be helpful, I can get nasty in Spanish, German and English! I have literally almost thrown out so-called pals of prospective buyers who later reveal that they are realtors and want their cut of any potential deal, or that they just want the listing! BULL SHIT! I don't play those head games, never did! Wanna hear another one? One of the most aggressive area speculators (and I do mean aggressive!), from the New York area, called me several times last year and saw the place another couple times -- I really liked the guy, and he was simply gushing with enthusiasm -- we agreed on a price, he said he was coming over with the total amount in CASH, since he wanted a really quicky deal -- OK, fine, he was on his way -- I put a bottle of 1990 Perrier-Jouët in the freezer so we could celebrate -- even got out the really kewl French enameled champagne flutes --
hey, he actually showed up! We did the usual Shalom thing complete with macho Euro hug (GAWD, how I miss those little human details!), chatted about my impressions of Israel when I did research in Jerusalem and Eilat years ago -- diving in the Red Sea and exploring the Negev were unbelievable experiences -- one of these days I have to update my memoirs, Remembrances of Skies Past, to include my foreign adventures -- I have to be in just the right creative mood. Then Dave opened his briefcase stuffed with real honest-to-goodness crisp stacks of 100s -- boy, do I love counting the stuff -- then he had to shatter the S u R r e A L I S T i c illusion -- it was 60k less than we agreed on! What did he hallucinate? That I would just freekin drool all over what he whipped out and say OK? (Not even Paris Hilton could do that to me!) Anyway, it was not the case -- he popped my cork, and I don't mean the one on the bottle! Reality TV was never this good! Within less than 5 minutes he was down the steps, out the door and back in his Mercedes! The bubbly I saved until the New Year! Hey, I don't give a shit if you are from Mars or Outer Mongolia, as long as we speak the same language and trade in the same stated currencies! My conditions are amazingly simple and straight forward -- this is a strictly personal transfer of ownership -- Payment Methods -- 1- a CASH deposit to start the ball rolling, at which time we sign my minimalist contract -- 25k would do the trick -- CASH may be in the form of
2- the balance due, half in CASH (see options A-C, above), the other half in cashier's check made out to a Trenton area bank when the title transfer papers are ready/closing, not foreseeably longer than 14 week days -- actual keys/possession within 50 week days, not including weekends/holidays; sooner if humanly possible. I do not use the handy dandy convoluted 4-5 page legal-size property contracts one can find at any office supply store, rather a nice and tidy 1.5 page normal-size thing in plain English that I made up -- that's how I acquired property over the years both here and in Europe, and how I sold some when I moved, basically on a handshake and some simple contract -- lawyers hate it -- realtors go into convulsions -- tough shit! I and the sellers/buyers were thoroughly satisfied with the deal/s. In as is condition -- some purely cosmetic work may probably be necessary -- no realtors, no unnecessary paper work -- why spend buckies on a freekin survey if the property hasn't moved an tenth of an inch since it was built (excepting for continental drift, of course, on a slightly more global scale!) -- the buyers of my place across the street absolutely had to have a survey and paid through the nose for it -- it showed the exact same measurements the last survey did when I got that place years ago! They didn't want a lawyer, but got one anyway for some strange reason, ignoring his expected foreseen protests about my unusual simple conditions of sale and the risk they could be taking -- so in the end they paid both his and my paper-pusher for typing out and registering some sheets/forms that I myself could/should have done! |

Other Details About This Truely Unique Commercial Property |
WOWSERS! All of this fabulous stuff at the unbelievable very fixed /set / not-a-penny-less investor price of a paltry, measly, hallucinatory, not-to-be-believed $285k!! Get in on this once-in-a-lifetime history-making summer-bargain-basement major-election-year sure-thing (way surer than the last election was!) money-making opportunity being offered -- build your new business into whatever you want it to be -- when I was teaching I would have the shop
open by appointment, and always had new and return customers coming in
to purchase high and low ticket items -- even local newspaper
stories appeared over the years about the only eclectic artsy place in town and how kewl it was -- Frequent changing exhibits at the shop
and in the Trenton
Public Schools included The Statue of Liberty Centennial, Halley's Comet, the Death of Salvador Dalí,
African
Art, Vintage Cels and Animation Art, the
Old
Trenton Pottery Industry -- The shop also allowed me to take advantage of the appropriate allowable sizable tax writeoffs, something I really miss since my premature retirement from teaching due to disability several years ago. If you plan to be in this area, feel free to contact me PREVIOUSLY to see the place (like a day or two in advance, at least, please -- classical FLAKES have called me on their cell phone from the doorstep, where they could stand waiting until the cows come home -- the sign says by appointment, not when they land here from outer space! Maybe it's the electromagnetic radiation effects of the cell phone on their hypothetical brains/CPUs?). * * PLEASE NOTE -- due to already spending an inordinate amount of time showing this property, starting in May 2006 I shall charge a non-refundable $us100 fee, payable in cash in the hand and in advance, BEFORE taking my time to show this real estate -- IF the viewer decides to purchase it, I shall deduct $us1,000 from the final mutually agreed upon buying price when the final payment is made -- WHAT A STUPENDOUS DISCOUNT !! Take into consideration that what it looks like now inside is far from what it used to be like 5 years ago and what it can be once again, if and when I can move all my stored personal stuff out -- I am currently very leisurely checking out places to move to, in order to be ready for a potential change of scenery -- am interested in finding something with a lot of living/storage space which doesn't need major repairs, preferably on the east coast, and with some acreage -- semi-rural is OK, as I am not really an inner city person at heart -- an old industrial building on the outskirts of some town, from New England to Florida, might fill the bill, although I do prefer something that is currently lived in, able to be moved into and used almost immediately. My Sphynx Cattery takes up a lot of my time, and I now have FIVE adorable hairless kittens that will be adoptable in mid to late June 2007 -- click photo to see more photographs of my available rare cats --
Do you like hairless pussy too? NO realtors and/or absolutely no FLAKES please! From what some knowledgeable friends who know the shop and its contents have been telling me after seeing this page, my price is currently way too low, considering that much of the stuff in it is also included -- if I revise this page again, my asking price may be higher! Next year, when the immediate area is probably largely revamped by the city and I have done some more work on the patio and garages, the price WILL go up -- trust me on this one! Incidently, my brother sent me a link to an article on realtors and how their ultra profitable system using the least effort works to their advantage. From the looks of it, the only thing flakey peeps are interested in is how they can make apartments out of the property -- one notable forward thinker suggested that they could make 3 - 4 rentable apartments -- the 2nd floor is already an exceptionally large one compared to the mini bird cage-like units in this area -- the back two rooms of the shop could be a 2nd, while still allowing the large main room in the shop as a business -- the full basement with its own entrance, which is already there, could be a 3rd -- and instead of including a garage rental for each of the 3 apartments (something that is extremely rare in this area), another apartment could be made in the 3 garages! Most peeps with hypothetical money to invest don't really seem to be creative thinkers -- all they appear to want is a quick turnover along usually established greedy party lines, with the least effort -- more power to them! They just want to sit back and collect the rents, not work a little more to develop a lucrative gallery or other business. Bless their hearts! If you have any questions
