  1. I found a gummi devil in a box of Haribo Gold-Bears. I can not find
    any mention of such a thing on the web or usenet with Google. Does
    anybody know anything about this? Here are a couple of pics, one taken
    with flash and one without:

    Holy cow! Don't clean it! Keep it in original
    condition for the best price on eBay! Could be
    worth EU 500! Hope this helps. :-)

    I guess you'd know, if anyone. ;-)

    Don't think so. :-)

    I just went to the Haribo website and perused all of their gummi
    candies, and it does not appear that they make devils?

    Unless it's just a halloween exclusive?

    No, I evaluate rare Gummi collectibles for a large
    New York-based auction house, and wrote the
    definitive price guide (though it needs updating
    after being out-of-print for two years).

    Either that, or I'm a forger of rare Gummi collectibles,
    infamous for creating the Gummi Mona Lisa, which
    sold for an astounding USD$850,000! Guess you'll
    have to figure out which it is! Maybe both! Gotta
    watch out for those price guides! :-)

    Do you know anything about the availability of gummi christs? I want to
    make a madonna pinata.

  13. Yeah, the Haribo site was the one I visited first.

    Unless the local Ralph's has old stock, it shouldn't be a Halloween
    thing ... and if it were, it should've been marked? This was a plain
    ol' box of "Gold Bears". I suppose something from a specialty
    production line could've accidentally found it's way into the wrong box
    .. . . but as you said I didn't even see it as a specialty item on their
    site.

    Still stumped...

  14. Pretty good credentials, then.

    Should I eBay it, or do you want to do the auctioning for me?

  15. Let me rephrase that last one ...

    How would you recommend that I go about auctioning this ? Should I
    contact those New York-based auction houses, or just eBay it?

    You also mentioned an EU valuation, instead of US$. Do these things
    fetch a higher price over there?

    I think you should just eat it!
