Kazzbar,
After lots of thought on this subject, I'm with you....I'd be hanging on to it too! My older Grandkids (11 & 12) are just now starting to ask about this case because of the name they hear around my house once in awhile..."JonBenet".
I'd keep whatever I had so that if they are interested in a few more years they can read the information for themselves.
I too feel it's Karr on the tapes.
Floh,
Well, I can empty my piggy bank and those of my Grands and if you empty yours, maybe we can come up with a good portion of the $1,499??
Aspidistra,
I think you're right in that if Wendy grew up in the same non-affluent neighborhood as JK, her life must not have had any of the nicer extras and maybe she sees this as her chance to "get back" or maybe she feels she's owed at least this much (whatever amount she gets from her auction) or "entitled" after all she did for them and then was brushed aside by the PD.
But the painting? Someone could give it to me for free and it wouldn't enter my home. Even if he didn't kill JBR, he's a pedo. No way would anything glorifying a pedo be anywhere near my home with my knowledge. Anyone who hurts a child should not and never be glorified in any way, shape or form. JMO, of course.
Calus,
I hadn't thought about that. And honestly, I don't know how I feel about the making money off a tragedy....not that I haven't bounced it around in my widew gray matter half of the day today. I'm see-sawing. One minute I think it's shameful and disrespectful to the victim and their families and another minute, I think as I posted above about Wendy H....maybe she feels "entitled" after all the work she did for the PD and got brushed aside.
Poco,
The yearbook is up to $38 now, and it still has three more days left in the auction! I just put it on my Ebay Watch Page because, well, frankly, I'm really curious to see what someone would pay to see an eensy-weensy picture of JK....and probably a black and white pic at that!

Anraann,
You're right....SB is selling a "play" on ebay. From some of the things I've read online (not here-at other forums):
she's in her right, she's qualified being as she's put so much effort into this case from the beginning.
Keep in mind,
these are just things I've read about SB in regards to putting her play on Ebay,
not my own opinion as I have still not come to terms with how I feel about the whole making money off a tragedy syndrome.
Wenchie,
That's the book that was written by Hodges, right? (I've read so many I forget who wrote what! )
If that's the same book, I lent mine to a "friend" and never got it back. She told me last Christmas she was going to give it back to me as a Christmas Gift. I didn't get it....I got a box of hankies.
I just checked and there's one on Ebay:

Now I wonder if it's my friend that's selling my book??!!?? :doh:
