There is a buyer for almost everything!!! Some of my most favorite items we have sold in the past:
-stuffed frog band, actual frogs that were stuffed and shellacked and equipped with instruments
-numerous midget autographs from the 1930s something Chicago Worlds Fair
- the coolest leather hat and goggle set from the early 1920's something someone riding in a side car would wear, if only we had a motorcycle/side car setup, I don't think we would have sold it.
-rascal scooter, best work day ever when my dad and I rode around the block in the rascal, those things can move!!! We even got the orange flag in the back. I can still picture the wind blowing through my dad's hair and the flag, what a day!!
- lots of lots of junk. So many times I am amazed that people want this stuff and than are actually happy with it when they receive it, i.e. vintage computer electronics, old cameras...
- paisley smoking jacket (my dad didn't want to see that one go!! and to his credit, he did look rather nice in it)
-vintage scuba diving equipment
Sometimes it is not worth the money you get to sell things and sometimes it is more than worth it. If anyone finds an old leather hat and goggle set like someone riding in a sidecar would wear, let me know!!!

Oh, also...since this isn't technically my first comment, but my second....
The term "midget" is consdiered offensive to those with dwarfism. As you'll see, irnoically, my youngest has a form of dwarfism called Achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. He's adorable, take a look. http://blogsmonroe.com/disability.
Thought I'd let you know. Here's hoping for a lot of traffic!!
Merry Christmas!
