Chaulk Box - $30

theAd>>Hand carved carpenters chaulk box. don't know how old or where it came from. Great gift $30.00

image 1485973646-0

Is it a caulk or a chalk box? I can't make either of those make sense to me. Is chaulk something else? Is "carpenter" code for something sexually related like "bear" or "chicken hawk"? [go look it up, I'll wait....yeah see what I'm drivin at?]

Honestly, where it came from and how old it is are the LEAST of my questions.

Antique pitch fork - $100

theAd>>Decorative pitch fork has a beautiful patina. It measures 68.5"h x17" wide across top. At the base of the fork is a tightly stitched leather strip. Strong enough to pitch your hay with or just use as an attractive country wall decoration.

I think this is what is missing at all of those "No Public Health Care" rallies! Sure you can call people Hitler or insist this is a plot for the government to take control, but those are reasonable arguments...and who hears reason? No sirree, shakin a pitchfork at a rally.......that's the kind of crazy that politicians listen to [by listen to I mean fear]

Sheesh...watch an old movie once in a while.

Oh what? that was Frankenstein's monster, not a publicly elected official? Obvious mistake.

WALL PLAQUE, Ten Commandments... - $14


the Ad>>Wall Plaque of the Ten Commandments. Beautiful piece of art display for any wall. Measures 12"X 18". I have two and letting one of them go. $14.00 dollars.


After some extensive research I discovered that "thou shalt not lie" is not a commandment...it's not even a suggestion. So you are totally in the clear calling this a "
Beautiful piece of art".

However-
Commandment #2: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Bummer
, dude! This carving violates the rules. Oh cruel irony.

Vanmark's handcrafted collection Legends of lore Sir Tristen Knight - $25


theAd>>Vanmark's handcrafted collection Legends of lore Sir Tristen Knight of Telispar is the bravest and most decorated knight in the order of calere in original box with certificate of authenticity for only $25.00

I found this listed in my new favorite category...collectibles. We could rename the category "useless." Generally anything with an actual function will fit in another category. Let's face it...the category "household" is really broad! If it doesn't fit there, then it is a really turd. This bring me to my other point. ANYTHING is collectible...A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G!


Try this. Walk down the street for a few blocks and pick up every piece of dog crap you find.

Go ahead, I'll wait. Okay good, you're back.

So now here is the big surprise. You are a collector!!!!

You have a totally unique collection..each piece is "one of a kind"! Without much difficulty, I am sure you could get a certificate of authenticity.

Am I implying that Sir Weirdotard of the Dumbasslands is a piece of crap...uh yeah. But the real message is this.

Dear Seller,

Get a real boyfriend. He won't be a a knight in shining armor, but he also won't be made of resin and bought off of QVC .

He will like you too. You won't be made of latex and you will have real features, not just "realistic" ones.

I think if you both lower those expectations just a hair [okay maybe quite a bit more....a little more...that should do it!] you might just live happily ever after.

Note. If the seller here is a guy. weekly marathon D&D is NOT a social life.

dishes, collectables, household items, etc. $15 Takes Al




theAd>>I just can't wait for spring to have a sale, but I need more room, so for one price here ya go.

Just To name A Few Things:

Glass plates and little saucers
White bowl stamped Italy on back
Plate that is Syracuse China
Vintage frosted etched wheat ceiling light cover
a doll that has name Hantverk on the bottom
Brand new out of box hot lather dispenser machine from J.C. Penny
Brand new non stick BBQ set
Very unique wooden puzzle nativity scene
Flintridge china tea cup
and much much more......
$15.00

I do not know where to begin.

Is this like some sort of "first step" for hoarders? I bet it is some sort of "willing to get rid of it" test. Well you found the loop hole! Make your crap look soooo unappealing that nobody wants it

First, You do NOT need more space! You are nowhere near responsible enough to handle it. You DO need more discerning taste.

I will give you 15 bucks if you promise to buy a trash can AND use it.

So here is my WTF in no particular order.

1. Does that little puffy doll have horns...creepy.

2. Empty spice jars are trash, since when you buy more spices it will come in a jar.. this is a vicious cycle that will get you the title of "the spice jar lady" in the headlines announcing that you have been discovered under a pile of them. It's very tragic. Take them to the trash now, for safety sake.

3. I don't know why but used carpet freshener is gross. And really, how much can be left. Go sprinkle and vacuum and move on with your life.

4. What's in the zippy bag? Is that ham?

5. No matter how fancy the lidded jar was, once you only have the lid...it's trash.

6. Where are the cups that go with the Corelle saucers? Did you break them? I thought that stuff was unbreakable. Whatever. I know you are saying "Someone could use these as votive candle plates" [admit it] But just because they could, does not mean they should.....trash.

7. How much for the little bit of ikea twine....trash.

8. I WANT my food to stick to my BBQ utensils.

9. Gold fluffy pasties are neat.

10. WTF

theAd>>For sale: (1) One Case of (24) Twenty Four (16 oz.)Beer Glasses...... Vice President of the United States...... Air Force Two....Vice President of the United States..... Seal and Picture are deep satin etched into the glass..... Restaurant / Bar quality 16 oz. clear beer glass...... Dishwasher / Microwave safe..... Etched glass will last the life of the glass.....

I am always wondering who buys all of that presidential crap. Well now it seems down right logical compared to VICE-Presidential crap.

Plus, I had no idea his plane was Air Force 2. [Anything called #2 makes me laugh, I am just that mature]

So lets do the math. 1 [case] + 24 [glasses] x 16 [ozs] - 2 [ plane name] = $120 fickin dollars!

Really.., Worth every penny. Each beer will seem like you are right there...havin a brewsky with the Joe-ster. I know it's my dream.

Biden seems like a PBR guy, right?

Ladies pinky ring 14k white gold - $300


theAd>>Unique old fashioned ring with marquise shape, 3 single cut diamonds. Appraised for $799 asking $300.

Is this specifically a "pinky" ring? I mean, is there something about it that requires it to be wore on the pinky? Cause I think there is no such thing as a "Ladies pinky ring". I think you are making that up. And really, even dude pinky rings are pretty creepy.

So I am going to assume that it would fit other fingers if they were less sausage-like.

None of this matters however since if what I gather from the crappy photo is accurate.....it's kind of ugly...on any finger......right

Blue Bowtie Piggy Bank 18" tall $50 or best offer


the Ad>>This cermaic piggy bank was found in my grandmothers attic. Its adorable measuring 18"tall and 9" wide. The blue hat, vest and bowtie make this piggy perfect for any pig collector. The slit for the coins is in the back of the neck and their are 2 holes with caps on the bottom for accessing the money. Would make a great gift! Merry merry oink oink!

You need to march into Grandma's house and put little Lord Fontla-Pig back were you "found" him...Stealing from the elderly is wrong wrong wrong.

I am sure he IS very rare, being from Cermiac, and all. I can't even find it on the map. [used to be part of Russia I think?] But asking $50 for ill-gotten stoneware...well it's highway robbery! Would you take twenty?

DERK HANSEN PLATE "TIMBER WOLF AND HARE" EYES OF THE WILD * 1987 - $20




theAd>> This is a brand new Derk Hansen Plate "Eyes of the Wild, I had in the closet, its dated 1987 numbered 9874 has certificate, and box great gift for the holidays coming up. Brand new.

21 years old is not new, it is not antique...It is just old. Being in a box does not make it new.

Do you think this is a great gift because in 1987, when you were going through you "Lone Wolf" phase, your mom bought this on QVC and you thought it was a great gift? Then you met the woman who would become your wife [ending the "lone wolf" nonsense]. She laughed at your plate, called it lame and prompted you to put it in the closet until now. I see two options. Take it down to your beige office cube, hang it proudly and take back your identity or...donate that hideous plate and thank your wife for saving you from your horrible taste.

I suggest the latter.

You know what I mean.

Elk Head mounted - $999


theAd>> I an selling an Elk head that is mounted from March 1977. Call if you would like pictures.

If you have more pictures, can I assume this was the best one!?

Is there no end to the creepy mounted stuff for sale? I keep thinking that I have posted my last mount but I just can't stop!

This one doubles as a nifty tool to remove unsightly acoustical ceiling tiles.

Although, I think that you should leave the sound-proofing in that porn studio, especially with that wood paneling. Sound travels.

Could you include some useful info, like dimensions [as you might remember this is an ongoing problem with mounts]. Knowing what month it was mounted in is... oh, what is the word....lame or weird ...no, no I got it, DUMB!

Bahamas Ocean Snail Shell: $20.00



theAd>> Beautiful Ocean Snail Shell from the waters of the Bahamas. Highly polished and delicate. 5" long and 4" wide. These go for up to $50.00 in a novelty store.

If by "novelty store" you mean a place for foolish tourists who are too drunk to understand the exchange rate, yeah. But they go for 5 Bucks at regular non-idiot stores. So $20 seems a bit steep. You might want to offer any prospective buyers lots of fruity rum drinks while they are looking at your dumb, delicate and highly polished shell.

100% real nature stone!! Unique !!! - $10000


theAd>> this is the only piece of stone on earth! from China. it is not a painting !! We are saling 100% real nature stone, factry in Chian. we will have all product pic on line in a month!! soon! every piece stone is real and only one on earth!! we can ship it to you if you love it!!

Um, I don't know how to tell you this. Every Continent on earth has stone. Although they don't all look like a big booger.

I am not sure why you need a "facrty in Chian" if the stone is all natural. What's it cost to ship a Giant rock from Chian, you know, if you love it? Cause really, who doesn't love a big, heavy, all natural nose monster?

Vintage Swan Misical Snow Globe - $20


theAd>> 6 1/2" tall. Mint condition Plays, "You Are So Beautiful To Me"

As it focuses the sunlight and slowly lights fire to the wood paneling and burns down the crappy old cabin your Grampy left you, so you can collect the insurance money and buy a nice loft downtown....Beautiful.

Gigantic Buffalo Head! - $1200


theAd>>Gigantic Buffalo head! This is 100% real and hunted! $1200 obo. Buffalo head located Southwest for pickup! Mail me for more any other questions/details.

Weird, on my screen it looks like it is located northeast. I'm not good with direction.

Most of the time I like to use a dollar bill to provide scale to an object since people actually know how big that is. Or sometimes I use actual quantifiable measurements like feet and inches. If you would please let me know how tall a fake, un-hunted turkey is I use that from now on. I think I am about 2 turkey 3 inches tall.
