In my youth, the drive in movie theatres typically hosted giant flea markets on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. I guess it was a way for the theater operators to increase revenue. These film shorts were common viewing before the movie got started. I guess this is what people did with their old junk before eBay came around! Note the announcer's statement about "anyone with a garage or closet full of goodies can be a weekend money maker."
The more things change, the more they stay the same!

Manny Gets Grilled
Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox put his gas grill up for sale yesterday on eBay! Read the story HERE.
At the end of the article is this : "I'm just here to play the game and enjoy it," Ramirez told the Globe. "[I enjoy] my life. All the things that I do I enjoy. I'm not here to talk to [the media]. I'm here to play the game. That's me, you know. The same. Everywhere I go is the same."
The guy takes a lot of heat from the media, largely because he doesn't talk to them so they have to invent stuff.
LAY OFF MANNY! And pass the barbeque sauce....
