Today our little neighbothood had it's annual spring yard sale. As a bit of a lark, I made up up a decent sign ... "Bicycle Yard Sale".
I got out the lawn chair, and put out several KOF's, etc. Without going into detail, with "price tags" betweem $5K and 10K.
Only a few stopped by, with the usual "you have to be kidding" look. Oh well. Not that we were going to part with them, but still ...

At the Ann Arbor / Saline Swap meet last Sunday, there was a mildly interesting early Paramount. Circa 1939 perhaps, tiny size, so-so condition, with about half the original parts. A woman sat nearby.
"How much?" someone asked. "Twenty" was the reply. Yeah......
