Oh my goodness.
Does everybody have this experience?: You see something on ebay or in a store. A huge wave of emotion rolls across you. You had forgotten you had this item as a child. Seeing it again… years laters… is sweet… bittersweet.
Oh my goodness, a Betsy Wetsy! Mommy, can I have this for Christmas? Again? I know this is small-time racketeering, but don’t bid, anyone!

It’s my favorite thing to do!
I know exactly what you mean, Pam. It happned most recently for me with a toy car called a Crashmobile. It also happened with the child’s stool in the bathroom photos that I send you (and in that case, it happened to a lot of people … the eBay bidding was fast and furious, and the final price was very high). It is odd how objects that are almost nonsensical can engender such intense memory-based emotions.
Good luck bidding! I hope the price does not get too high.
