Oh, SmAlbany!

Daily posts and occasional longer essays about politics, culture, and life in the Capital Region...updated M-F, midmorning


"I write this not as a booster of Albany, which I am, nor an apologist for the city, which I sometimes am, but rather as a person whose imagination has become fused with a single place, and in that place finds all the elements that a man ever needs..." -W. Kennedy, from O Albany!

Weekend Spinners Update

Spin me some ebay love: Here are the current ebay rankings for Saratoga giveaways this year:

1) Stadium Blanket - selling for about $22, no bids for $30 starting auctions.
2) Bugler bobblehead - selling for about $9, buy-it-nows for $10.
3) Beer Stein - selling for about $6, no bids for $9 starting auction.
4) T-shirt -selling for about $5, many no-bids.
5) Baseball Cap - selling for under $5, many no-bids at $3 starts.

That's probably a relatively predictable order, although the bobblehead seems like a pretty niche market. If I had to wager on it, I probably would have taken the blanket to win, and then thrown down a trifecta using the blanket with the stein and shirt.

Meanwhile, an annoyed gambler calls for an EZ-pass gate at the track, where people uninterested in the giveway can get in.
