I'm always impressed with my buddy, Doctor Z's, acuity in picking up certain items at garage sales. While I'm over scavenging in the boxes of used books or record albums, looking for that obscure gem, "Z" is inevitably thumbing through a box of dollar music cds or videos, or rock-n-roll stickers, or going through the dishes and glassware, looking for YET ANOTHER Beachbum Burt's glass or tiki mug. I never get tired of watching him go through a box of fifty cds, quickly picking out the four or five that will sell for $20 or up on E-bay. He's got quite a knowledge-base of music in that head of his.

So a couple of weeks ago, we're looking through some old 1970's scrapbooks (you might have seen some prom photos I posted on another thread), and Doctor Z calmly chooses a little envelope with a Led Zeppelin concert ticket inside. I would have totally discounted such an item and probably passed it by, but Doctor Z takes it home, and with a little research on the internet - Wham! - he has a winner of an auction:

Just 2 days left to go and I have no idea how high this baby is gonna go. That is how to write an auction, my friends!
