Prices for stickers are postage-paid, to any address in the world.

To order one sticker ($3) by PayPal (using Visa, MasterCard, or your checking account), just click the sticker you want.

If you'd like more than one sticker, the prices are listed belo, just click to buy and then send us an email (newsuneed at yahoo.com) to let us know which stickers you want.

If you'd rather, you can pay by check or money order (payable to Stephanie Webb, please), mailed to this address.

Occasionally, people pay by mailing us US cash or US stamps, and it's rarely a problem, but please note that we can't be responsible for stamps or cash lost in the mail.

We're also selling some used books and other junk, and we'd be happy to send you a sandwich and a refreshing beverage.

Helen and Harry's genuine junk
$25, postpaid within USA (add'l fee for int'l shipping, sorry)
A bigger pile of genuine junk for $40, postpaid within USA (add'l fee for int'l shipping, sorry)
We're not particularly neat people, but with your encouragement we'll tidy up the apartment and send a piece of our clutter to you. The price includes postage (within USA). The only catch is, we won't tell you what junk you're getting -- it's a surprise!

It might be a broom that no longer sweeps clean, a Christian-themed gift we received from a Christian-themed relative, or a T-shirt too stained to wear in public. We can't guarantee it'll be what you expect or what you want, and we can't guarantee you'll like it, but we guarantee it'll work (if it's electronic or mechanical) and we guarantee it's junk to us.


Helen will make a tunafish sandwich for you
$5, postpaid within USA (add'l fee for int'l shipping, sorry)
My husband Harry says I make a 'mean' tunafish sandwich. The secret is using just a few crumbs of cheap generic tunafish and a thin layer of imitation Miracle Whip, plus your choice of either yellow mustard or store-brand thousand island, on the cheapest not-so-fresh white bread we could find last weekend.

If you'd like a delicious tunafish sandwich, we suggest you make one yourself or visit a deli. If you'd like a lousy and probably squished-in-transit tunafish sandwich, made by me and delivered by the US Postal Disservice, I'll make one for ya, stick it in a plastic baggie, and mail it for just $5. Price includes postage (within USA) and lots of handling! Disclaimer: Allow 7-10 days for delivery. Sandwich is borderline edible when I make it, but probably not be edible upon arrival. [For entertainment purposes only.]


Would you like a refreshing beverage?
$7.50, postpaid within USA (add'l fee for int'l shipping, sorry)
As David Letterman says, there isn't a man, women or child who doesn't enjoy a refreshing beverage. Well, we'll mail you a refreshing beverage mix (just add water, and/or other fluids) for a mere five dollars. We'll choose the mix you receive -- it might be coffee, might be tea, might be powdered milk, might be something else, but whatever it is, it will still be sealed in its original factory-fresh container, and it will cost us a lot less than $5. Your thirst will be quenched, and your fivespot will be appreciated!


International shipping:

Tragically, heavy items cost more to mail, especially internationally. So on international orders we figure out what the postage will cost, and ask the customer to pay that extra expense. Sorry.

DISCLAIMER FOR DUMMIES  

Our front page is free from nudity and profanity, but interior pages and external links may not be safe for work, and you may be shocked, offended, or in trouble with your boss. A link doesn't imply that we agree with every sentence and every sentiment on every site we link to. We use our noggins, and suggest you use yours.

Anything sent to Unknown News
may be published. If you don't want
   it published, say so plainly. Of course,
   we publish all incoming hate mail.
Unknown News is more fun and more informative with your participation, so please don't be shy. Consider yourself invited to speak your mind.

You can contact Helen & Harry at <unknownnews at inbox.com>. If that address ever fails, check our contact page for our alternate email addresses.

but We always welcome dialogue for publication, and we're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite the specific article or concept we've gotten wrong.

But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else.

When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever.

 

YOU CAN HELP

We try not to whine too much or too loudly, but we are poor and this site eats a lot of time
and especially money. Just a buck or two can make all the difference and help keep Unknown News alive.
