Want To Buy Some Leftovers?
A while back I posted something about an intranet site we have at work where employees can sell items. Yesterday's item was the all time winner, even better than the $1.00 Barney VHS tapes.
Unopened Box Of Taffy
New Jersey Seashore 16 oz box of assorted salt water taffy. One dollar. Box unopened and wrapped in plastic. Get in the mood for summer! 5 pieces have only 150 calories..not bad!
Are you kidding me? Why would anyone pay a buck to eat someones left over taffy that was probably from last summer? And the kicker - the thing sold a couple of hours later. The seller actually posted a big notice - TAFFY SOLD! As if everyone would be trying to get down to her office to purchase this before someone else did. Oh man. Well, I have a box of half eaten, individually wrapped chocolates left over from Christmas. What do think - should I try selling these for 25 cents?
I don't know what is more odd - selling this or buying?

Seriously, I might have bought the Barney tape..
I think yesterday's item may have been a winner too - a free Happy Meal toy, unopened. And guess what? It was posted by the same person who was selling the taffy.
ready to use as permanent door stop or home protection device. $5.00 or best offer :-)
I've been *wondering* how to get rid of this! Thanks for the idea!
Never thought of selling it...damn.

I would never think to sell something like that. Like you, I would set it out by the microwave or sign in sheet. I should go through my pantry today. I think I have some old pop-tarts I need to get rid of.
