This Scarecrow has scared literally thousands of crows. Mangled clothes and missing arm makes crows and trespassers alike think twice about messing with someone who would treat her own scarecrow that way. Also great for Halloween. No child can stare this scarecrow in its remaining, coal black eye, and not pee their pants with fright. And its bloodstains are so lifelike they will get anyone going—even local law enforcement. But not to worry, the case is closed and the victims remains are still unclaimed after all these years, so this scariest of scarecrows can remain scarily intact. The buyer should note that some people are put off by what has been described by some as “a stench that could only be a decaying corpse” and by others as “the stale urine of a thousand Porto potties.” The smell is, in fact, the smell of fear and adds to the scarecrow’s scaryosity. $50 obo

Now you can chew your food without breaking the bank! Dentures - two upper, three lower. None of these are matched sets, but could be worn as such. All are in very good condition, just a little staining and scuffing of the teeth and some black marks on the gums. Should clean up nicely with a little elbow grease. One of the lowers has a missing tooth, but it is one of the back molars and would not be noticeable. Will sell individually, but if you buy all five we will include a tube of Fixodent (almost new!) as a bonus. These have already given years of faithful service but have plenty of use left. We offer no returns, but buyer is welcome to try them on for fit before purchase.
