Aucton Fever

I was sorting through my old solid Pacific Ram shell holders and found 4 duplicates, so I put them up for sale on Ebay. These things go begging for $5.00 each, so I bundled them all together and offered free shipping to get somebody to bite. I thought, I might get $5.00 apiece that way, but would settled for anything over the cost of postage.

Two guys got in a bidding war and ran the price up to $51.00 before it was over. You just never can tell what strikes somebody's fancy!

Some years ago we held a church garage sale and we picked up the stuff from one guy who later came down. He saw a brown paper bag in his stuff, and said "My gosh that is just the dirt from the garage I swept up and in that sack to throw away.

I stapled the sack close and wrote on it.."Garage Dirt" with a price tag of 50 cents. It sold in less than an hour after we opened.
