That dude is a moron. I like his piles of crap that's got a starting bid of $200K... I think I'll put up a listing for one of my fingers and start the bidding at $50K.
Let's start with the middle one.
Man for a while there I was seeing some really crazy ebay auctions... like the anal-briefcase which was used by spies during WW2... or the nose-hair grooming kit... with brushes, not scissors... or the nose cones of a couple ICBMS.
Man there is some crazy sh*t on ebay.

holly crap! i know the guy selling these! hahaha...wow...i recognize the puppets...when i was 18 i visited los angeles from NY to meet with different places about getting a job as a sculptor/make up effects person...and he was one of them...he was friends with a friend of mine i worked with in NY. sooo crazy...when i came out to visit i met with him in his shop...he had all those puppets and masks and stuff. he is an old timer puppeteer /prop maker. i think times have been tough on people not able to transition to digital. there is almost no need for traditional puppeteers anymore...i actualy ran into him on the Team America set...which was probly a like a dream for these guys. anyway, this was about 8 years ago when i met him...i played with that crazy looking dinosaur gizmo...was supposed to come out and work with him...but he never had jobs and i got into computers...
small fricken world....sorry for the rant...its just kinda crazy to me...here is the guys site...he is a really nice guy actually.

I meant no disrespect... it's just that with a STARTING BID of $200K I think the presentation is somewhat lacking. He could use a hand with salesmanship.
A little OT, but yeah Rich... "progress" sucks doesn't it? Before you know it even all the computer stuff you guys are doing will be easily done by some guy in India who did a little studying... then "poof" goes the job.
I realize that outsourcing and puppeteering are not one in the same, but I never pass up an opportunity to remind people of how stupid some of the current policies are for long-term prosperity.
