    Why, the prize is the satisfaction of being the very best, matchless, nonpareil and unequalled antiquer of oddball items. A veritable primus inter pares.

    And I really don't think you'd want to see my wardrobe :p

    I sold inflated puffer fishes on ebay once.....you know, little fishes with spines, they puff themselves up into a ball when scared....then Marineland or some aquarium catches and preserves them and I buy them in the 1960s.....and sell them on ebay 40 years later to a dentist in the Midwest.

    I didn't buy it cause it was just too weird, but I seriously considered it for few minutes until I thought in good conscience I couldn't sell it. A scrapbook gruesome murder photos compiled by a Los Angeles homicide police detective from late 1930s through 1940s
