It gets pretty tiring trying to pick out truths with all the bull spit that’s flung around during the presidential party campaigns. I think political campaigns should be settled Wild West style…with a shot drinking contest. People always say that the truth comes out when you’re drunk. Well not only would we finally get some truth out of our politicians, but we’d see who’s the most stalwart and steady to be our president.

Here’s an auction for an original 1960 TV Viewers Political Conventions Guide, which explains the political process in 1960. Were things better then?

As a proud 50 percent Italian I am fully entitled to live up to all the Italian-American stereotypes.  This includes an especially strong interest in my heritage. Although, I’m still not sure if I’m interested for bragging rights because it’s always cool to say exactly where you’re from in Italy, or if I’ll eventually put together some type of family tree.

Either way, I came across what seems like a pretty interesting guide to genealogy. It provides information on how to research records and piece together your Italian heritage. All I know is when I looked through my grandma’s archival materials, I found enough references to Anthony’s and Luigi’s to name 10 more families.

“My Maserati does 185, I pushed the button, and now I don’t drive.” I love that song! What I don’t love is when my expensive radar detector allowed me to get snagged going 30 m.p.h. over the speed limit, and then failed to detect the cops again. Fifteen minutes later, when my girlfriend failed to absorb the lesson I learned five miles back, she got snagged doing 15 over and was let off.

This auction boasts caught-speeding tricks and how to smooze with the fuzz. If their tips and tricks work, it could save you a bundle.

Quit being a wallflower, barfly or whatever sorry excuse you call yourself and start bringin’ in the ladies; without paying for them (well, without paying directly). Here’s an auction for what is surely to become a new wave in legitimate pimpery.

Check out the auction, and you’ll find the auctioneer’s face next a cute girl’s butt for ample proof that he knows what he’s doing with the ladies.

Bid on this auction for the key to your dreams — a proven lotto system. Obviously, the owner and distributor of this system simply haven’t mastered their marketing and advertising. Because if they had, all major lotto programs would surely have discontinued by now.

Could you imagine matching all the winning numbers for the lottery, only to find out that the state has issued you an IOU, because everyone and their brother won the same lotto! I could only imagine the mass rioting that would ensue.

We’d still be using square wheels if the human race never learned to share knowledge. And we’d probably still be stuck on reselling that same square wheel to each other if we relied on “no-strings attached” free information products.

This information piece offers strategies for selling any type of product using timeless methods. The bid is only a penny, and they claim that no e-mail address is required to get the product. Normally, if a business offers a free information suite like this, they’ll try to capture contact information to follow up with you so they can offer an upsell. Since no contact information will be required, that probably means the strategies offered here will plug a specific company or all revolve around something else you’ll need to purchase. Free information is awesome, but always be wary of the source and intention behind it.

I had no idea that Jesse James had a brother, Frank James. The Border Bandits — a History of Jesse and Frank James, by J.W. Buel, gives a detailed account of the James-Younger Gang’s activities. What may seem like a tired telling now, this book actually provides a fresh account as it was written in 1893; just eleven years after Jesse’s death.

Jesse James, one of the most notorious figures of the Wild West, robbed his way back and forth across multiple states with rotating gang members, one of which was his brother Frank who managed to clean up his act a little better than Jesse who didn’t concede until he was shot in the lung.

This is an early work about Dick Tracy, the world’s most famous, biggest detective. Famous for fighting the ugliest foes in the crime world, the Dick Tracy cartoon strip may actually be even more famous for popularizing the idea of handheld communication — the cell phone!

Tracy’s two-way wrist radio, which was later upgraded to a two-way wrist TV, was one of the precursors to cell phones. What seemed impossible and unworldly to exist then, now seems unworldly to not exist today!

New York City is one of the world’s premiere cities for…well, just about anything and everything under the sun. This book features vintage photography, circa 1949, of the city that never sleeps.

Boasting one of the most impressive growth rates of any city, NYC makes for one of the best areas to compare pictures of the past to the present.

Alright, so you may still need the aid of a professor or two to get where you really want to go, but you don’t necessarily need the books. This auction item is a complete gold standard MCAT course. These programs definitely get expensive quick, so I can only assume that $369 is reasonable.

The point is though, if you do need books or study programs, it’s always much, much cheaper going second-hand. And books or CD’s don’t have any intricate working parts to them, maintaining a steady functionality, so it doesn’t make much sense to opt for their newer, more expensive counterparts.

This auctioneer is offering the secrets to slot machines for less than $6. This automatically sounds like a scam, but the auctioneer offers a full guarantee and positive feedback from multiple bidders. Apparently he offers a simple download with a quick and easy formula for beating the odds — actually sounds interesting.

For such a small price, it doesn’t sound like it could hurt to try. But suckers are born every minute with products and promises like this. Besides, search online for three seconds and you’ll find plenty of free resources on casino secrets.

Click through, bid, and never work another day in your life.
