as some of may know, i make my living in scrap metal. most of the time it's boring stuff, old pieces of pipe and tin, washing machines, trash compactors, etc. anything made of metal. but there is also lots and lots of junk i wanna keep as well. most of it i pass on, some it i keep for personal use or senti-metal reasons, some of it i try to sell at garage sales or on craigslist.
here are some of my recent craigslist posts.

Extremely Rare Collectible Budweiser hanging fluorescent lamp, lights up! Perfect for going over pool table or home bar. Extremely cool item, so rare that it is almost impossible to find these days. First $100 cash in hand gets it (but will consider trades for .22 varmint control item). Has some scratches and is missing the bottom gondola, but still lights up great. Own a piece of aviation and beer history right in your garage!

NOW YOU'RE COOKIN'. and by you i mean somebody else. and by cookin' i mean their reproductive organs.
..Ya know.... sometimes there's a good reason that something is "almost impossible to find". I imagine a very fat man with very poor taste buying crap like that.

I can't understand why you would want an oddly shaped balloon with a rather generic name brand stamped on both sides... at least it should be something else like... Crest.. you never see toothpaste blimps..
