Hick's habit continues to consume him. I fear that he's toppled into the abyss. Here are his latest auction acquisitions. Just the ones he sent me pictures of. I don't want to break the internet by showing everything he buys.
Saturday night, Hick got this Coca Cola cooler for $12.50, and the oil lamp for $3. I don't know what the going rate is for Coke coolers, but I'd imagine there are collectors who'd want this, and Hick will make a couple dollars profit. Everybody likes an oil lamp. So much that they're always picking them up and breaking the globes. If he can keep it healthy, I think this lamp will sell, too. You can tell by the furnishings what a ritzy place Hick frequents. I'm hoping that thing between his feet is a clandestine piece of candy that Hick dropped.
Okay. Are you ready to plunge into the abyss?
Hick bought himself a 30-inch BUTLER! For $7. I can't imagine anybody (besides Hick) wanting this guy. Maybe that "French Maid" that The Pony asked him to bring home from his France trip needs a companion. Here she is, posed in front of The Little Barbershop of Horrors. Not much of a maid at all. I told her tale on my supersecret blog.
I think she currently resides in The Pony's Sword Shack, where it's pretty crowded. We might need another shack for the butler...
I think Hick knows his stuff. The Coke cooler and lamp will easily double his money. The M+M stuff will sell like hotcakes and the butler $15 easy and fast.
ReplyDeleteI think you know Hick's stuff, too! I have no idea what any of that might sell for. None of this haul interested me enough to look them up. There must be more call for butlers than I imagined.
DeleteI think the butler should go right behind the French Maid and be bringing her a tall glass of something cool and frothy. Fake of course. I love the M&M dispensers, I used to have a red one, no idea where it is now.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Hick was right about those M&M dispensers. I really hope Hick is planning to sell the butler, and not keep him!
DeleteWell, Hick certainly has an eclectic taste for stuff. Reminds me of the time HeWho purchased a case of one time use breathalizers to sell along side pager accessories in one of our stores in MN. Why? So you could test yourself before driving after a night of drinking. They did not sell like he imagined they would and I ended up tossing them after their expiration date. Be thankful that Hick is not buying stuff that has an expiration date. Hicks stuff will actually sell!
ReplyDeleteFor a minute I read that as USED breathalizers! Which I imagine would have sold as "well" as the one-time use breathalizers did.
DeleteHick found a bunch of little bottles of hand sanitizer in the storage units he bought. They are in purple bottles, and clip onto a backpack. He was giving them away with purchases, or to kids who came in. I tried one, and it was EMPTY! They have all dried out. Hick still hasn't thrown them away. Which I am sure does not surprise you.
Well, they do have clips on them ….
DeleteI hate to say this but Hick will sell those M&M things as many people have a soft spot for those. I love the butler.
ReplyDeleteThe M&M commercials with those little guys are running pretty frequently, so that will help them sell. Apparently, I have underestimated the butler!
DeleteHmm, Hick sure knows a bargain when he sees one or two or thirty. M&M memorabilia will sell. the butler might be just right for Thanksgiving. LOL
ReplyDeleteI guess that butler could offer drinks or dip at a party. Or even M&Ms in their containers!
DeleteI think that maid is actually Jessica Rabbit.
ReplyDeleteYes, but what was she doing in a saw-blade-making factory in France? At least she came to the U.S. on Hick's company's dime, in shipping container.
