Happy Friday! Welcome to 5 Awesome Things on eBay this week, where I window shop and share all the stuff I can’t afford right now.<\/p>\n

\"Inflatable<\/a><\/p>\n

Inflatable Maximillian from the Black Hole (eBay Link)<\/a>– I didn’t know this was a thing, an inflatable promotional Maximillian from the Black Hole. I would really like to own this, mainly to pretend I’m Doctor Reinhart and sick Max on my family relentlessly. The dog would truly lose her mind. I would never tire of this.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Star<\/a>

5 Awesome Things on eBay this week<\/p><\/div>\n

Star Wars ROTJ School Supply Vending Machine Display (eBay Link)<\/a>– Few things trigger my nostalgia centers more than vending machine displays; they were a destination at Miracle Mart every week. Just looking at this, I can smell the rotisserie\u00a0chickens in the back. Unrelated but also related, I miss FBI grape drink.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Atomic<\/a><\/p>\n

GI Joe Atomic Man Secret Mission set (eBay link)<\/a>– Hasbro really went in on their Bionic Man Knock-Off Atomic Man for a brief period, even going as far as repackaging older Joe sets under the Atomic man brand. I don’t remember these as a kid but Atomic Man did rock my world. I would love to own this, but I also have accepted that I cannot have it all, so I will merely press my nose against this virtual bakery window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Red Col. Sanders Bank (eBay Link)-<\/a> Col. Sanders lived about an hour from where I live now. If you visit antique malls in that area, you’d think he went door to door handing out those banks. They are everywhere here, I actually try to count how many I see in a day. I’ve never seen a blood-red one like this, though. It’s kind of ominous, isn’t it? what’s in the bucket? What’s in the buuuuucccccket?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Mr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Avon Mr. Peanut Soap (eBay Link)<\/a>– This is one strange tie-in; as my friend Courtney said to me, “Who doesn’t want to reek of party mix all day?”. This seems like a great episode of Columbo, where Patrick McGoohan takes a shower with this and kills his partner, who has a peanut allergy. I’m off to Kinkos with my manuscript; please don’t steal it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
