Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Assorted Antiquities! Welcome!
Assorted Antiquities! Welcome! This is WW's store, as part of TCCP (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/chirpatcricket/node/118828).
Here at Assorted Antiquities, you have three options:
BUY: Request any item, and we probably have it somewhere in the back. Every day, I'll list some random offers for random items, but you can request anything. Say you want a penny with Cricket's face on it, but it's not on the random offers list. Just say you'd like to buy it and I'll give you a price.
SELL: If you have an item you've bought from another store, we will purchase it. The more rare/valuable/antique the item, the more money I'll fork over. Right now, we're only accepting items you purchased in a store on the CB.
TRADE: Almost the same as sell, except instead of money, I'll pick out a random item to give you in exchange for what you're giving me. Again, right now, we're only accepting items you purchased in a store on the CB.
All prices of "normal" items (ie things you could find in a real life store--not shrink rays) are half or less of what it would cost on one of them newfangled buying websites (coughcoughAmazoncoughcough...and other sources).
Today's Random, Notable Items:
Hypnotism Serum: Just rub a dab on anyone, and they'll instantly be hypnotism material! Made especially for the world dominators on Down to Earth. $20 for a small bottle
Mixed Fruit Gumball Bag: Rainbow gumballs that taste like various fruit, with taste that lasts up to five hours! $0.50 for a bag of ten. Gumballs are vegan, gluten-free, etc.
Pair of Skis: For the next ski lodge murder mystery. Comes in solid shades of a color of your choosing. $109.50
Statue Collection of Cricket and Friends: This buggy statue collection features Cricket, Ladybug, Pudding, Pussywillow, George/Tail, Zoot, Marty, Tater, Sluggo, and Old Cricket. $2 for an individual statue, $20 for the whole collection
Also, every Friday at Assorted Antiquities is Open Mic Night. You may share a poem or sing a song by posting the words to this thread. Registration is $5. Be ready to "perform" any time at all on Friday.
Happy shopping! Don't get lost in the back!
