If you want to troll a stamp collector: Get some really nice mint stamps, put them in expensive protective plastic crystal mounts to keep them same safe, and then *scotch tape* them INSIDE the crystal mounts so they can't fall out.

Aside from the fact that the scotch tape effectively brings the value of the stamp down to zero, it will also stain the stamps as it ages as well.

I saw an entire collection at an antique store like this...there was about $100 (street value) worth of loose stamps that were not scotch taped, but, the asking price for the collection was $200...I would have gladly purchased the collection had there been no scotch tape involved...

For those that thought the game 'Battleship' was too easy...

I used to eat this stuff all the time as a kid...


A little bit of a markup on the price eh?

Wow, don't you wish you'd saved some Jiffy Pops when you had a chance? But that's not saying how many they'll actually sell for that (or any?) price...
I'm just guessing here, but I'll bet it's stale.

Fall must be the season for popcorn? I usually make my own (hot air popper) but the other day I decided to try some pre-made from my local "natural-health foods market" & I'm already hooked, it's so good. Lesser Evil brand, "simple acts, clean snacks"- Himalayan pink salt- w/ organic e.v. coconut oil instead of butter- but I'd swear it has butter! No coconut taste. I've since found out I'm not the only one hooked on it- you've been warned. (It's 40 calories per cup, for anyone counting, but it's so hard to stop...)

That's really sad...I used to collect stamps too.

That figures....good taste in snakes, good taste in snacks.

Rare?
I guess that could be said.

I saw a guy selling a lot of scale model train stuff, and I thought this was weird:
