It’s really weird to look at our store and see just one item!
But there it is: Missouri Shot Glass + Story by Jonathan Lethem. And the auction closes in less than 24 hours … who will end up with the last of the original Significant Objects?
After that auction closes we’ll start crunching the numbers and share some findings with you next week, from our unique experiment. (With the close of today’s auction we passed $3,500 in sales. Not a bad Significance Markup on roughly $125 worth of yard-sale and thrift-store thingamajigs.)
And as noted we’ve already started organizing a sequel — this time we’ll be giving all the proceeds to charity. (Thanks by the way to those who offered thoughts about which charity via Twitter yesterday.) Stand by for details ….
