I had gotten this Atlas for a college class. And if I remember correctly, I paid about $10 for it and it was never actually used in the course of study.
If it were a regular world atlas, it would be way out of date by now. But it has historical maps - like how much territory comprised the Roman Empire at the time of Julius Caesar and so forth, so it will never go out of date.
I figured I would pass it on to one of the history teachers at my school rather than toss it in the recycle bin. So I gave it as a sort of goodwill gesture to a guy I frequently get into political debates with on Facebook. I love debating someone with polar opposite beliefs - it's such great mental exercise.
And, of course, when you win the debate consistently, that's just icing on the cake. ;-)
My history teacher friend was appreciative.
Today's object to sell is a toilet paper holder I found while cleaning out the garage. It's still in the packaging and perfectly fine, except for the layer of dust and grime all over it. I don't remember the circumstances of why it was neither used nor returned. But I'm putting it with the garage sale stuff and maybe I'll get a buck or two out of it.
