Prices range from a couple of dollars to thousands.

The sale begins at 10 am, but it’s not being held at the five-star hotel because it is undergoing renovations for at least another year. The sale is held at the former Circuit City store in Santa Monica, CA at 1251 4th St, Santa Monica, CA 90401

See the video on ABC.

Nearly everything was taken out of the hotel, and the choice items fill two entire floors.

AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, 7-day bike from San Francisco to Los Angeles, May 31 – June 6, 2009. It’s a life-changing ride—not a race—through some of California’s most beautiful countryside.

AIDS/LifeCycle is co-produced by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and is designed to advance their shared interest to end the pandemic and human suffering caused by AIDS.
