John SBarry,
I was just talking to my wife about how much the hobby has changed in the last 15 (especially the last 5) years. I still love it, but I have become very selective about what I buy (and who I buy from). Money and greed definitely have changed things. That is why I want to vomit when I see Rosen's picture with his fistfull of $100's.
A headmaster at a former school where I taught saved/collected very strange things (he had his toenail and fingernail clippings organized in an office drawer...no kidding). He was fired very shortly after I started working. If you decide to auction string I am sure that he would be happy to diversify your offerings with some vintage toe-jamb or a ring-finger clipping from 1987.
