I was at a church rummage sale where I saw a statue of an alligator selling for $0.25. It was a nice sized statue, about 2 feet long. It also seemed new; the tag was still attached. I bought it.
My rooommate said that I could get it as long as I put it some place she wouldn't have to see it. As I walked with it through the crowd, a few people commented that they wondered who would buy it.
Then I looked for it on the internet. Amazon is selling it for $477.77 plus $11.99 shipping, a total of $489.76.

It's the second strangest thing I've ever seen at a church bazaar. The first waS a plastic thermos...red, green and white stripes running the length. When I openned it...well, this being a family-friendly blog, I won't say what jumped out at me. I will say that I was very, very surprised. :)
