The last few trades surprised me. A KISS-themed snow globe is worth more than a year's rent in Phoenix? Someone would trade a house for a speaking role in a film?

I'm not sure there's any insight to be gleaned from this except that people in the early 2000s were willing to make illogical trades at their own expense to be part of a wacky internet thing.
