    I can see you making an appraisal - "one coin, ah ah ah, two coins ah ah ah..."

    Just kidding. Always been a Mr. Eureka fan!

    Must be tough making a living if you can only get to coin shows held in the evening.
    I suggest hiring an Elvira look-alike to 'assist' you with your customers.image

    That might work on Craigslist if you offer massages.

  • In the really old days (not in any movies), if one of theses creatures was pursuing you, and if you knew you stuff, you'd reach into your pocket and throw a handful of mustard seeds on the ground in a wide dispersal pattern. The vampire is compelled to stop and count them all, a task that should take until sunrise.

    It seems these days you throw...mustard stains? image

    Soo.....Collectors should have packets of mustard seeds on hand to throw at dealers, in order to avoid getting skinned?

    Maybe, but mustard stains, not seeds - keep up with modern science man!
    But in this case it's not necessary; this particular "bloodsucker" poses no threat in that way. image
    You can "count" on him.

    What year was that?
  • I would guess your average vampire stopped responding to mustard seed at the middle of the 19th century, after Varney the Vampire and such penny dreadfulls. Varney did not mind garlic for example.
