I gave it to my partner and said "see - you tell me that collecting cards is worthless. Now, you've got a bag of popcorn!" and she loved it.

Great catalogue, funny and thoughtful mailers. I know there are very real reasons that Memory Lane needs to make up for sins of the past, but I do appreciate the thought and effort. Its also a really good way to play the long game for eventual potential consignors, as its gotten this sub talking again about a great slate of auction items in a novel way.
Wut? If ML needs to atone for sins, and I won't speculate about what you are talking about here, why on earth would sending people a bag of popcorn or a junk wax pack atone for them? Are people that manipulable? I doubt it.
