"Well I'll try to describe this lot the best I can. What we have here are
several things I just discovered in my couch while trying to find the
remote. We have one pack of Big Red Chewing Gum(3 pieces left)I don't see
a date so I'm not sure if it's still good. Next we have a 2.5 inch machine
threaded screw(phillips head)Also, $.80 in change(details upon
request).Following that we have two red rubber bands, one needs a little
restoration. One piece of peppermint candy that I'm sure my father gave
me. One paper clip in mint condition. A single red cap from what I believe
to be a Bic Pen,(How may times have you wanted one of those)A single
wrapper from a Starburst candy. A quarter of a match stick as well as a
partial box(might still light, I won't guarantee) The edge of a single
piece of paper from a mead spiral bound notebook. A few shards from a
pecan shell from the tree which is in my front yard. And finally, about a
third of a pretzel(age and origin unknown) High bidder to pay $3.20 for
shipping and handling if inside the U.S. Feel free to E-mail with any
questions. Thanks, Patrick."
