The phone is ringing about the jarts . My last 2 teaser pics are working . I see ''unanswered question'' on my listing - I click it - there is a phone # . I call and say , Yes whoever wins the box will get the complete set . So far 4 calls - Well 1 was a PM from here . My lips are sealed .

I found a set of Jarts, I use them in my Economics and Government classes. Dropped from shoulder height, they leave a nice mark on my vinyl floor.

Okay, Dejapooh, you've got my curiosity revved up.....
How are you using them as teaching/learning aids?

That day at the dump was a lot funner than I thought it would be -- the Jarts sold today - starting price was $6.00 , after 58 bids , they sold for $710.00

We talk about government intervention in the economy. We look at the warning lables (there are 3 on each side of the box, plus half of the instruction sheet is just a reiteration of the instructions). We talk about how it was determined that they were inherently unsafe, and that the government determined that there was no way to be sure of safe use, no use by children, and so on. This leads to other conversations about unsafe products and ways of dealing with unsafe products. From law Suits (such as the infamous McDonald's coffee suit), to boycotts and other forms of non-governmental market intervention. This leads to a discussion of how government intervention in the market leads to market inefficiency, which may or may not be a price we are willing to pay for safer and more effective products. The Jarts lesson is a pretty full day.

Yes , my best dump score .
Monday , I fell of the ladder , had to go to the ER , I thought I broke My ankle , X-ray Was good . Just a 2nd degree sprain . Today I was able enough to drive to resend an ebay package - the guy gave me an insufficient address . I thought about having him help pay for the reshipping $9.75 , then I thought nah - I'll eat it . The Jarts were up to $165 when I left . I go into the Post Office , And there's $10 bill lying on floor . I grabbed it - paid for shipping .
I went to the store and bought beer and a lottery ticket . When I got home the Jarts were up to $365.00 . And they just kept going up .. up .. up .
I posted my ankle on the injury thread http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/g...8-injury-thread-post-your-wounds-here-11.html

Looks like ebay thought something fishy was going on , they removed the listing after the sale .
