OMazing Kids SLP Retirement Sale
There have been LOTS of folks interested in what is happening to my stash of materials, books, games, toys, etc. when I retire. I have been flooded with Facebook messages on my personal account and on OMazing Kids. So much so that I realized that I need to write this blog post with details to make it easier to share.
.
First off here’s what I DON’T have: no tests, no test protocols, no Kaufman apraxia kits, no decks of articulation cards, no materials for feeding & swallowing. The hospital where I work has those. Plus I typically use my iPad with high quality apps to work on articulation. I am not selling my Boardmaker CD.
.
Here’s what I DO have and where I will be selling those items. I am only shipping items within the USA:
- Books (kids picture books that I have organized by themes): I have LOTS of these books. All are in great condition (may have name on cover). A few are board books, a few are paperback and most are hardcover. I will also be selling my kids yoga and mindfulness books in this group. These can be shipped inexpensively via media mail shipping. I am selling these books as “Build your own book bundle (5 books of your choice) – USA only for $10 (+s/h)” over in the Teachers Bargain Basement (a very active buy-sell-trade group on Facebook with over 10,000 members). https://www.facebook.com/groups/TeachersBargainBasement/. They have been selling very quickly. See tips below about BST groups.
. - Plush Book Buddies: I have a few that I will be selling as a Book + Book Buddy set and several plush Book Buddies that I will be selling separately. Prices will vary and will be included in that post in the Teachers Bargain Basement group. Plush Book Buddies cannot be shipped via media mail. The shipping costs will be based on the weight, size of box, how many zones it crosses in shipping, etc.
. - Books for targeting Core Vocabulary for AAC users: I have two big boxes of these books and am almost finished making a list with the title, author and core words in that book. All are in great condition (may have name on cover). A few are board books, a few are paperback and most are hardcover. These can be shipped inexpensively via media mail shipping. I will be selling these as “Build your own Core Vocabulary book bundle (5 books of your choice) – USA only for $20 (+s/h)”. These are priced a little higher than my regular book bundles due to their unique usefulness in targeting Core Vocabulary for kids using AAC. Because of the unique therapeutic nature of these books I will be selling them in the Speech Therapy Materials Buy Sell Trade SLP BST group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1406051726328569/) another very active Facebook buy-sell-trade group with over 10,000 members. I anticipate that these will be selling very quickly. (Update: So after selling 60 kids picture books to target Core Vocabulary in a couple of hours in that large SLP Facebook BST group the admin of that group froze my post and blocked me from the group with no explanation
![🙄]()
. Several SLPs had commented about how smoothly the sale had gone and having fun. Well this soon to be retired speechie doesn’t have time for that kind of drama. I’ll be selling my stuff in my own group and the Teachers Bargain Basement group instead. Here’s the link to my group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/121442208430173/.)
. - Kids music CDs – I have a lot of great kids music that I used when teaching a variety of groups and during therapy sessions. I also have kids yoga CDs. I will be selling all of them in the Teachers Bargain Basement group as “Build your own CD and DVD collection ($10 minimum order)”. Prices vary. See list on each post. All in very good condition. May have name on cover and/or on the CD. These can be shipped inexpensively via media mail shipping.
. - Kids DVDs – I have several kids yoga and mindfulness DVDs and a few other kids DVDs. All are in good condition (may have name on cover). Prices vary. They will be sold in the CD post described above. These can be shipped inexpensively via media mail shipping.
. - Therapy books – including several books from Hanen, books for teaching social skills, books for teaching self regulation skills, books with strategies for stuttering, language, Autism, early literacy, AAC manuals, etc…. Prices will vary. all are in good condition (may have name on cover) and can be shipped inexpensively via media mail. These will be sold in the Speech Therapy Materials Buy Sell Trade SLP BST group.
. - Therapy card decks & materials: I have a few Super Duper fun decks (Function Match Up, Yes/No, Multiple Meaning Words, Syllable Drilling, What Does Miss Bee See, Rebus Infer a Word, Auditory Memory for WH questions fun deck, Phonemic Awareness). Also have from Super Duper: Anytime Go Togethers, Webber Inferencing Big Deck, Sequencing Verb Tenses. Lots of other language stuff from various companies. All are in good condition (may have name on box). Several are hard to find since they are no longer available from that company. These items cannot be shipped via media mail. The shipping costs will be based on the weight, size of box, how many zones it crosses in shipping, etc. (I’ve seen conflicting info about whether “flash cards” are considered eligible for media mail. I asked in person at my local post office and even they did not have a definitive answer…. so it’s not worth risking especially since many are in metal storage tins.). Given the shipping costs I anticipate selling most of these items at my in home garage sale (see details below).
. - Therapy games: I have a few games specifically designed for language, spatial concepts, storytelling, categories, colors, shapes, articulation, early literacy, etc…. These items cannot be shipped via media mail. The shipping costs will be based on the weight, size of box, how many zones it crosses in shipping, etc. Given the shipping costs I anticipate selling most of my therapy games at my in home garage sale (see details below).
. - Games: I have lots of games. All are in good condition. I even have the much sought after Cranium Cariboo (in pristine condition – Update: SOLD) and also much sought after Candyland Castle (also in pristine condition). Due to the demand for those two games I will be selling them on my own OMazing Kids page or my OMazing Kids SLP Retirement Sale group. Games cannot be shipped via media mail. The shipping costs will be based on the weight, size of box, how many zones it crosses in shipping, etc. Given the shipping costs I anticipate selling most of my games at my in home garage sale (see details below).
. - Toys: I have a ton of toys. All are in good working condition. I have several items by Melissa & Doug, Fisher Price, Playskool, etc. Also have several sensory items. Toys cannot be shipped via media mail. The shipping costs will be based on the weight, size of box, how many zones it crosses in shipping, etc. Given the shipping costs I anticipate selling most of my toys at my in home garage sale (see details below).

Tips for Facebook buy-sell-trade groups:
- join both groups listed above
- be sure to change the settings for “notifications” to “all posts”. See screenshots for how to do this when accessing Facebook online via Safari and how to do it via the iOS app. The process may be slightly different on Android or different web browsers. The important thing is do take the time to do this. Or you may not be notified about posts in that group.
- you can search by my last name “Moorad” to find my posts in the Teachers Bargain Basement group. Items have been selling very quickly.

In Home Garage Sale: For those of you who live in Oklahoma (or want to make a road trip here) here are details about my in home garage sale. I have my living room set up with shelving, bookcases & tables full of all the stuff listed above. I’m trying to sell off most of the stuff that can be shipped via media mail before then…. ’cause right now there is barely a path. I knew I had a lot of stuff but the sheer magnitude of my speechie hoarding is now very apparent that I have it all in my living room (and have totally taken over the tables in my kitchen and dining room as I sort, weigh and prep for mailing items. You should have seen the looks that I got lugging my huge tub filled with boxes into the Post Office to ship earlier this week![👀]()
Yup. I was “that” person we all hate being behind ![😂]()
![🤣]()
). I’ll post a pic on my page and group once I get everything organized and priced so you can see what I mean by a “SLP hoarders stash”.

Where: in the living room of my home in Norman, Oklahoma. Please send me a private Facebook message for my address. Please only message me if you will be coming and please don’t pass my address along to anyone else. I don’t want the general public showing up. This is a specialty sale geared towards therapists (SLP, OT, PT) and teachers.
Note: I picked the date & time to avoid conflicts with most graduation ceremonies. Since severe weather can be possible here in May please check my OMazing Kids page (https://www.facebook.com/OMazingKidsYoga/) or OMazing Kids SLP Retirement Sale Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/121442208430173/) for announcements regarding weather related changes.
Items will be for sale first come-first served.
I cannot hold items since I need to get everything sold and paid for quickly to be able to prepare for selling our home.
Also there are no returns or exchanges for this same reason.

Feel free to message me on Facebook with any questions.
