Since when do they sell bones at antique auctions?


haha Seriously? He was going to give her a skeleton to sell in her antique store for $100??? What's up with that?

I never got that, either. Who, in their right mind, would WANT to buy human bones. You gotta be really sick to do that.

Only in Fly Creek!

Michael Jackson tried to buy the bones of John Merrick, the Elephant Man.

That's because Michael Jackson is a bigger weirdo than the Worm Face cracker...but only marginally :P

I thought about two possible explanations to answer the OP's question.

1) Since Roger Grimes seemed to be a little foolish, wasn't into antiques and didn't know anything about that kind of items he could have thought the skeleton had a worth for Mr Beardsley to put into the market and sell it to any bones collector.

2)I don't know anything about Fly Creek, its history and its foundation but is it possible that the bones could have been mistaken for finds coming from the War of Secession or for any american indie's rests? If so, they could have had an historical value.

White people sold and bought Native American bones all the time. Even African American slave bones. But they are pretty sick people. I mean they shoot up elementary schools for Pete sakes.

There was an abandoned Quaker cemetery near my school. One of the graves collapsed once and a classmate "liberated" a skull from it - I think the deceased had been there about a hundred years. He brought it into school and sold it for 50p! (c. 1970 prices). The buyer's mother marched him into school with the skull in a paper bag the next morning and confronted the head. (Of the school).

There was a lady who put a child's mummy up for sale on e-bay not many years ago. They shut the auction down and had her investigated, but she had the mummy passed to her by legal means.
