Just about everything has a value, yet it's rare that someone just comes up to you and asks to buy your stuff. However, it's certainly possible that some of your stuff is worth more to someone else than it is to you.
In the spirit of an open market, I propose "Buy it now" stickers. Just stick one
of these on each of your possessions, along with a price a few dollars over that which you'd be willing to part with it. Now your house guests can feel free to make an offer on that lamp you hate but haven't spent the time to replace, or someone can stop you on the street and buy your collector's edition sports hat.

Hey, I'll give ya buck for one of those stickers you got there. |

It makes sense. But I'm sure my friends would be sticking these to me when I'm not looking. Being sold into slavery probably isn't as interesting as it sounds. |

"Buy My Pants Now, Ask Me How." |

Leading to the interesting placement of "Buy it now" stickers, this would work well in the world of prostitution. |

There's a whole world of prostitution? You're kidding, aren't you? |

Yupp. Can't see it these days though. Ever since the Hubble space telescope had a V-chip installed. World of prostitution is rated MA. |
