Those value books always seemed just too good to be true.  When I first bought a beany or two, just cuz a few looked cool, one i had was that polar bear one.  Sadly, the dog chawed on him and apparently he was the most valuable.  Dog thought it tasted just like the others :)

My friend made a mint selling these buggers back and forth,oh, in 98?  I thought the craze was over and done.

I remember a scam that was going on a few years ago whereby a well-published card collector was releasing books showing the value of certain baseball cards.  Turns out that there was an eery coincidence in that the higher-rated cards happened to be the ones of which he had a lion's share of the market.

Meanwhile, I'll be sure to Search under the "used car" category for "Porsche", "Jaguar", and "BMW".   Maybe I can find a disgruntled spouse looking to unload a spare automobile taking up space in the garage!  :aok

High class cruiser

Notice that no feedback has been left for that "cruiser" auction.  I wonder what the result was.
