anyone else just like going there to see weird old tins? I have no interest in buying anything there but I do really enjoy seeing the old tins.

I just got an image of you sitting on your computer looking at tins there... You wife walking into the room and you quickly turning off the screen and saying "I wasn't looking at old tins again I swear it's I swear it's just porn". Probably not even close, but I thought I'd share that bit of madness from my mind.
My wife sometimes suggests I don’t look at stuff I know I won’t buy. I say, where’s the fun in that, besides I might find something I will buy. That may be what she is worried about. JK, she probably has less concern about the money I spend on pipe stuff than I do.
lies. I saw that Auction. It was for one surly Las Vegas based fire investigator. Could have been another one but... What are the chances of that. I was pissed though when they refunded my money and told me that they can't legal do that kind of sale. Plus they lost have their staff trying to package it.
O.k. I made that up.
Your pants are on fire which, considering your job, is a most amusing blend of irony and good fortune.
See Tim? Honesty is always the best policy. Well, usually the best. Alright, it's a fair policy. Nevermind, it's awful. There it is, honesty. It comes out eventually.

Everything. Who do you think owns the site? How do you think they got all those ancient tins? Why do you think they're confused by amphora being sold in packs not clay pots? So again everything is what she's got to do with that site.
That's your grandma. We're talking about the real Cleo. And they only call you're grandma Cleo for her asp collection.
Eight hardly constitutes a collection. Wait until breeding season concludes, then get back to me.
it does when you count by storage unit rentals not individual animal.Eight hardly constitutes a collection. Wait until breeding season concludes, then get back to me.
This is true. But that's just a temporary home, you know. Once I buy enough stuff on TinBids, I'll need a place to put it all, and they'll all need to get re-homed. Got any ideas for that?
Errr, make that "ideas within reason."
If you love weird old tins, you might enjoy a wider array of weird old advertisements. I think most university libraries still maintain long shelves in the stacks of magazines going back into the Nineteenth Century where you can discover old automobile ads, old medicine ads, old food ads, and tobacco ads and ads of many other kinds.
It's a time machine to the needs, wants, and longings of our great grandparents. They are both familiar and foreign, mystifying and delightful.

tinbids.com seems to be building a little bit of steam... the offerings/activity was pretty sparse for a while. now, however, there seems to be a decent amount of new stuff every day. bought my first items off of the site a few weeks ago.
