...possible exception of textiles, is pure junk. All those "goodwill gifts" offered by U.S. credit-card companies are completely worthless. TIME sent me a made-in-China radio set as an award for being on time with my subscription renewal. The radio lasted all of one hour--a screeching box that ended up on the junk pile.

...think in the metric system) selling truly random and useless things to very excited crowds. Rusty skis from the 1980s sat alongside massive teddy bears, buckets of Dora the Explorer pins, countless musty books (my favorite: the biography of Jacques Chirac published in 1982), and a box full of ancient-looking, browned cartes postales...
