Could be a toy, book, record, piece of clothing from your long lost youth... or just that crazy thing you had or saw once and really want. For me, it would be a pair of OHM-F speakers made in the 1960s and 70s. Someone actually had them up for bid once.... but the price got way out of hand. The shipping alone was crazy. But I did bid on 'em!

5. Maybe Madame Tussaud could hook you up.
She's probably got a dozen or so lying around the house.
