Just how old can be gauged from where I first heard it.  It was one of
my favorite records to listen to when I visited my Grandfather.  We
would wind up his Victrola, make sure there was a sharp needle in it,
and very carefully play the record.

"... they found him in the wreck,
     his hand on the throttle,
     scalded to death by steam."

     Howdy,

     I have bought a couple of PEZ dispensers over the net over the last
   few months but my goal of collecting all of the PEZ dispensers is still
   far from complete!  If you have PEZ dispensers--the ones that are not
   currently in production--and want to sell them, I will buy them (unless
   I already have them of course...).

     For older models you can catch me paying $5 and maybe up to $10 each.
   Tell me what you have and I will make an offer.

     Robert

Buttons, buttons, buttons - everywhere. All kinds of buttons with perhaps 
emphasis on historical/military buttons.  From the shirt of Gen.  Beauregard
etc - don't know how they authenticate stuff like that.

They had these buttons sewn to these white cardboard sheets for display 
purposes. I'm sure there are people who collect any other trivia you can come 
up with: beercans, match boxes or covers, cans, bottles, cameras, computers, 
umbrellas, even stamps.

Could further 'auctioneers' consolidate their auctions into one list 
please?  Three postings per auction update is *very* tedious. Thanks!

Updated July 23, 1992          9:00 am EST

Here are some hand collated sets (and one Factory set) that I have
up for auction.  If there is no bidder in the appropriate column 
for a lot, then the high bid is the minimum for that lot.  The
rules for bidding follow the list (Thanks for the use Brian).

I've deleted the sets that have already been won to cut down on 
bandwidth... and create less confusion!

Lot  Item                               Book      High bid  Bidder
1    1991 Topps Archive w/ original     $85+      $75

       (****GOING ONCE****)
Rules.

    - There will be no specific expiration date.

    - A specific lot is open for bidding as long as I have 
      received a bid within a 72 hour period for that lot.  
      That is, once a lot has not been bid on for 3 days, 
      the lot is sold to the current high bidder.  

    - I will post the latest high bids with names of high 
      bidder every day.  It will also include a notation of 
      "GOING ONCE" if the lot has not been bid on for 1 day, 
      "GOING TWICE" if not bid on for 2 days, and "SOLD" if 
      not bid on for 3 days.

    - Saturday and Sunday combined will count as one day.

    - All bids must be at least $1.00 higher than the pre-
      vious high bid (except for anything marked below $10 
      and then min increase should be $0.50).
      
    - All prices include shipping.

    - In your email, please specify the lot number and price 
      you wish to bid.

    - Cards are returnable if not satisfied due to condition.  
     
    - Please send all email to bates2@unix.cis.pitt.edu

Thanks for bidding and good luck,

Brian
