A Princeton man is organizing a fundraising sale to support the Family Services Society in the community.

“Gypsy” David John Buskell has an assortment of items available for sale for the fundraiser.

The items include rare artwork and pottery, rare coins, Indigenous artwork, stained glass, furniture, a side of beef and more.

“Anything you could want in life is here right now,” he said.

The sale began on Nov. 4 at Frannie’s Coffee in Princeton and will continue for around three months. 

Buskell, a retired pawn shop owner, said he has at least $250,000 worth of items for sale. 

This is not the first time Buskell has held a fundraising sale in the community. In 2022, he organized a similar fundraising sale, at the same location, to raise money for a new roof at the Princeton and District Arena.

The items for the current fundraiser can be seen at Frannie’s Coffee, 142 Third St.
