I have a sign from the 2000 student ticket line that's up for grabs if anyone wants it. Just come pick it up in Bristol, CT (about 20 min. SW of Hartford). It's about 2'x6', and it's red lettering on a white background reading "Ice Hockey Student Ticket Sales." I'm sure it's of no value other than sentimental, and I would prefer to keep it, but I'm moving to California, it won't fit in my car, it's too big to ship, and I'd rather not just throw it out. Let me know if you're interested.

Don't suppose you could drop it off at my house in Meriden? I'm in Storrs Friday and then my folks are in town so I don't really have time to come get it.

This is what eBay is for: monetizing the greater fool theory.
It's also what garages are for: putting up signs your wife or girlfriend won't let in the house. Ask me how I know.

I sell a bunch of nil-value items every year on eBay to see who puts value on things like a corporate logo baseball cap. A writer at the WSJ did that a couple years ago and found about the same thing: Some fool paid $15 plus shipping for a Wall Street Journal cap that could be had in the Journal's gift shop for $10. Or the guy paid $25 for a $15 cap. So much for the theory of the Web providing perfect information.
I do draw the line at re-selling, say, press kits from the auto show. A bunch of writers just scraping by on the auto or Hollywood beat supplement their incomes that way. They'll take three of every, say, Subaru press kit. A sane writer takes one at most and anyway it's all online at press.suburu.com.

Too late. It's going up in *my* garage.

Weird, I would've thought your wife would let you keep that in the house.

I still have the sign...John, it's yours if you can get it since you called it...
I didn't want to sell it on ebay because it really is worthless and I wouldn't want to make someone pay for it, the shipping would be worth more than the sign, and I figured someone on the forum would be able to find a home for it. Believe me, if I could logically get it to California, I would.
