One of my favorites from that list was the mask with an entire skein of yarn for hair. If I'm expected to pay $100,000 dollars for the thing, I think they should take the time to unwrap and do something interesting with it instead of slapping it on top as is.
Anyone read Regretsy.com? A bunch of things here remind me of what they put up sometimes.

I would enjoy getting to play with the fairy tree house though. Nice find, Raina :)

The queen's cape looks expensive, but I would say about $3000 for it, not 7.
The effie trinket dress I would pay no more than $50 for.
The Treasure Chest BBQ looks cool, and could probably sell for that much, but I think i could dress up my Dad's like that for way cheaper.
The guitar is horrendously overpriced, and I know guitars.... maybe he could get away with about $700, but certainly not $100,000.
I think the Bob Marley painting is accurately price.
The fairy house thing.... maybe $10,000, but I'd have to know more about it.
The seashell fireplace may have cost that much if they were stupid and bought the seashells instead of looking for them on the beach, but it's ugly anyway.
Everything else can die in a fire.

IDK the painting of two tigers might be worth that much if it was like, really huge or something. I think the motorcycle cover makes a cool picture, but can't think of anyone who would ever buy it. That scarf at the end, I can see someone buying it for AT MOST $40, as a X-mas gift or something.

the only cool things on there were the pirate grill & the faerie house.
the treehouse might be accurate, because it looks like A LOT of work. and the grill might have been worth what it said too, but i doubt it.

"A lot of people are putting googly eyes on their cactuses nowadays. I think it's because cactuses are dangerous. Cactuses have pricklers that can stab you in your hands, your throat, your face. So you need to know where you stand with them all the time. The only way to know where to stand with someone is to look into their eyes, right? Normally plants don't have eyes, so it's hard for me to trust them. Hence. The googly eyes. Still, it's a good rule of thumb. Don't turn your back on a cactus."

... guess I should also post the reference.

It's from a sketch from SNL featuring Christopher Walken as a gardener who is afraid of plants.
