I believe a quote from Mr Barnam would be appropriate: "there's a sucker born every minute" .

I can remember a guy on eBay getting $250 for an old LL Bean flannel shirt. His claims were that he never failed to **** when he was wearing his "Lucky Flannel Shirt" but he was getting married and the future wife ordered him to dispose of the shirt. He wanted to pass his good fortune on to another person so he was selling it....as opposed to donating it to Good Will. Have also seen stuff like a potato chip shaped like Lincoln's silouette, a sandwich scrap off the plate of a movie star at a restaurant, someone was even selling pieces of the Old Man in the Mountain when it fell a few years ago. I think the next time I go out on the lake I'll take a couple of gallon jugs, a shovel and a sand pail. Not to mention what I could find snorkling at the Witches. WOW!! I may be able to afford a new boat in the spring. Watch for my upcoming ads on eBay!!! hahaha!

I'm so glad I saw this posting, it reminds me of the need to change the air in my tires. Each Fall I remove the Summer air and its extra humidity and replace it with Fall air which is less humid. One year I forgot to do this and the clink-clink-clink of the frozen bits of humidity rattling around in the tires drove me nuts all Winter long. Once again, thanks for reminding me.

Okay, I'm a geek.

While in college, I had a glass bottle filled with Lake water in my room. It kinda filled a void that all these web cams do now.

I am continually amazed by ebay. I do use ebay quite a bit and am in the process of liquidating some coins from my late father.

A few years back I put my old running shoes on ebay. I did not think that they would do much, but the alternative was to toss them. They sold for $80 and the buyer sent me a personal thank you note. One man's trash is truly another's treasure.

Just curious, did the water grow anything? If I fill my dog's bowl in the morning, by evening there is a coating of slime in it.

My boat ("Bear") actually keeps "her" own sample of Winni Water at all times -- in the bilge! Guess "she" doesn't need to bid on e-bay...........

Has anyone seen my lucky flannel shirt that I paid $250 for?

BBS2 · 09-11-2006, 10:13 AM

I sold a bunch of my old toys (circa 1950s and 60s) including a 1958 Barbie doll that were stored in my folks attic. I made over 2K.

I wonder how much someone would pay for a bottle of Duck Itch?
