I love Pez dispensers. ;;D... if it weren't so darn hard to load the little candies into those things.

My son has been collecting them for 15 years. He has 100's of all new releases still in packages. Perhaps if I can get my hands on it I can retire. :)

What? Are Pez dispensers the new beanie babies?

When they released the movie "Titanic", the quicky 1912 shlock shocker that was produced a month after the disaster (otherwise known in the book trade as "that ugly green thing" ) steadily rose in value on e-bay from its years-long entrenchment at 20 bucks apiece to dizzying heights of 200 to 300 dollars. Copies were bought and sold on speculation, and mini-fortunes were made. The rare-books section of Ebay was swamped with Titanic tycoons, all scrambling to get multiple copies of the thing. Now that the movie is a thing of the past, copies sell for--20 bucks apiece.

E-bay is a weird place.

Best,

George

Titanic is big stuff. There must be a dozen films. (I'm not crazy about the new one, but don't tell anyone) I like the 1950s "A Night To Remember." The book was the same title I believe.

I loved Pez. We used to shoot them at each other....had to be pretty close..... 8)

I wish I had a few thousand dispensers for sale. They go nuts.

I wonder if eating cherry flavored Pez, (or in Charlie's case - shooting them at each other) would help with the clusters.

I'll be the beta-tester.

Looked up the full title of "The Ugly Green Thing".

It's:

Memorial Edition--The Sinking of the "Titanic"--Most Appalling Ocean Horror with Graphic Descriptions of Hundreds Swept to Eternity Beneath the Waves; Panic Stricken Multitudes Facing Sure Death, and Thrilling Stories of This Most Overwhelming Catastrophe.

I've seen a couple of copies. I also see that a few unlucky bookmen are still trying to unload them for a couple of hundred bucks. Must have gotten stuck with them when the Titanic market collapsed. This is not a rare book.

Love the title.

Best,

George
