Ronald I explained at one time the price of a Toilet seat on the C-5. I had to do with the fact that on a Military Cargo Aircraft that the toilet was part of the pressurization system for the Aircraft. The Manufacture of that seat was the only one who could meet all the tolerances to the toilet as they also built the toilet.. No one ever considered that the lid to that seat was not included in the price of the seat.. the lid was extra.  |

When I was an extra in the movie Pearl Harbor back in 2000, I picked up a water bottle that Alec Baldwin had sipped from and told everybody I was going to sell it on eBay. I never did, and eventually threw it away. I shoulda held on to it! What with his star on the rise again I might have been able to get some big bucks for his backwash.  |

Catcher of the Rye? :rolleyes:
Ok, that's funny. :cool: Good one, Larry! Scott, there has always been a love of celebrities -- it's documented throughout history. Famous people's artifacts have always hit the auction block at one time or another. Do you remember the Book of Lists series, first came out in the 70s? They had a whole section devoted to celebrities' body parts that had gone to auction, and how much money was paid for each -- including, I kid you not, Napoleon's penis. From a Fox News story, dated 20 Jul 08: Its size may have shriveled (it is currently around an inch-and-a-half long), but its value has grown to colossal proportions. It sold as part of the so-called "Vignali Collection" of Napoleonic relics for about $800 in 1924. The collection was named after the priest, Abbé Ange Vignali, who smuggled the item from the Emperor's autopsy table to Corsica in 1821.
The relic failed to sell in London in 1969 but was snapped up in 1977 in Paris by urologist Dr. John Kingsley Lattimer of Columbia University for $2,900 — the equivalent of $10,000 today. Lattimer then hid the object under his bed in Englewood, N.J., in an attempt to take it out of public circulation. Lattimer died in 2007 and now his estate is considering putting it up for auction. The item is rumored to sell for $100,000, but the owners are hoping for more. |

Strangely, I can see body parts as drawing a macabre crowd. Einstein's brain and all. But JD Salinger's toilet? Really? Are people that desperate now? Depressing.
Don't get me wrong - I get plenty star-struck, too. But would I want someone's toilet 'cause their hind end contacted it? Yuck.

Salinger probably up-chucked a lot into that porcelain receptacle, too; you have to consider how much that increases its worth...
