Years ago a man went to a shipboard auction of imported firearms. He bid on a huge collection of worthless muskets from SE Asia. Nobody else bid and everyone laughed at him. Then the other bidders watched the muskets thrown overboard.

It turned out that the packing crates were rare teakwood and the winning bidder made a fortune.

The Serendipity Gazette magazine is slowly starting to take shape.....
