The lamest item at the estate sale

I think it's a tie.

Item 1:  A dollhouse chest of drawers, made out of wood-grain cardboard, with drawers drawn in ballpoint pen.  Price: $2.

Item 2:  An almost-empty jar of vaseline, with a paper towel inside.  Price: 50 cents.

    You really did hit the jackpot on 'lame' with this estate sale! Who does stuff like this? Lame, lame, lame! Thanks for the laughs!

    If only prizes were awarded for "lame." Hardly seems worth the waste of masking tape to price the items!

    So...did it make you want to leave business cards for junk removal companies?

    So you took the jar of vaselineto them and said, "You think you might take 25 cents?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You win. I have never encountered such epic lameness in a yard or estate sale.

    I did have a furrowed brow when I found clear glass salt& pepper shakers at Goodwill for $1 each (so $2 for the pair) having just seen brand new clear glass salt/pepper shakers at Bi-Mart for 79 cents for the pair. They were identical.

    Sheer laziness from the children, they obviously couldn't be bothered cleaning out the house, or didn't want to pay someone to do it. Cannot believe that someone would try to sell a partially used jar of vaseline, laughing a lot :)
