if you're visiting, it's not always 80 degrees and sunny. at night, the sun disappears, sometimes for hours. and the temperature drops. sometimes we have winds from the southwest at 4 miles an hour. it can get terrible. [ laughter ] i'm sure the earth will eventually swallow us whole but until then, i tell you, i'll keep rollerblading to work with my shirt off and enjoying it. almost a foot and a half of snow fell on minneapolis over the weekend. the vikings were supposed to play the giants at the metrodome yesterday. roof actually caved in from the weight of the snow. rarely do you see the weather affect a game in a dome. but look at that. it spilled all over. that's why my mother said never build your stadium roof out of plastic wrap. [ laughter ] it's something. a confused charlie sheen volunteered to clean it all up. the game had to be moved to detroit tonight. which neither of the teams are from detroit. brett favre did not play quarterback. his consecutive game streak ends now at 297.

that was the second-longest streak of all-time. he actually had a close call. brett favre lakes to get to practice early. had his fly been open, that avalanche could have easily landed on his penis. so -- [ laughter ] christmas is like what, 10, 11 days away? as far as shopping goes, you know, you still have a little bit of time, but it's getting down to the wire. so, as a service to you, the viewer, we've combed through craigslist, you know, the online website. they have used items. we found some. and we invited the folks selling them to come showcase those items here on the show. and they're here with us now. in fact, let's meet our first seller. her name is corin wright. hello, how are you? now, you, i just want to be clear, you actually placed an ad on craigslist. >> i did. >> jimmy: we found that ad. tell us about your item. >> it is a signed and dated letter from lyle menendez from mule creek state prison. >> jimmy: of the famed -- of the

infamed menendez brothers. >> correct. >> jimmy: why did you get a letter? >> i actually wrote him first. he was friends with one of my friends. and i wanted to do an essay for college on him. he said no, wanted to further correspond. i thought it was freaky, i didn't correspond and i'm selling the famous letter. >> jimmy: this would be a great gift for, say, your parents? >> i don't thing my mom would be too happy for that. >> jimmy: probably not. and what is that worth? what are you asking for that? >> actually, letters by him are up to $2,000. i'm only asking $600. >> jimmy: and does he know you're here right now selling this? >> no. >> jimmy: think how much it will be worth when he finds out and eventually kills you. >> i hope that doesn't happen. >> jimmy: so $2,000? they sell letters -- >> they've sold up to $2,000. >> jimmy: what will someone do with something like this? >> probably resell it for more money when he dies. >> jimmy: oh, okay. so -- this is an investment opportunity. >> exactly. i should probably keep it. >> jimmy: if you want to bid on

this, you go to craigslist, look for signed and dated letter from lyle menendez. thank you, corin. and -- you can get it. it's a deal. [ applause ] let's see. our next seller is rosy. oh, hello, rosy. there you are. oh, no. >> sorry, hi. >> jimmy: this is -- is this related to the menendez or -- what's going on here? what do you have here for sale? >> i have mannequins with real human hair. >> jimmy: oh. well -- how did they -- did they grow? how did they get real human hair? >> well, they were made that way for, like, you know, hairstylists to -- >> jimmy: it's like we got the right? >> yeah. >> jimmy: and what are you asking for this? >> i'm asking $20 each. >> jimmy: $20 each. are they cheaper as a set? >> no. >> jimmy: $20 each. >> i just have a lot of them. what do we have, seven? so $140 for the whole lot.

wouldn't that be great in any kid's stocking on christmas morning? [ laughter ] all right. well, again, thank you very much. if you want to bid on this or you want to buy it, however it works on craigslist, go to craigslist, search cosmetology mannequin heads. take your heads and get out of here, will you? one more. this is a gentleman named daniel garcia. daniel -- now, daniel, you're selling this sign -- [ laughter ] and how much do you want for this sign? >> i want 300 bucks. >> jimmy: you want $300. and tell us what one would do with a sign that has a telephone number on it. >> if you got an insurance office -- >> jimmy: if you have an insurance office -- >> you can change the phone number. >> jimmy: how can you change the phone number? >> the people who do the sign knows -- >> jimmy: i see, so, essentially, you'd be starting from scratch. >> kind of sort of. >> jimmy: you want $300.

where did you get this in the first place? >> i used to work in an office that closed. the owner told me to take it out. >> jimmy: is this someone's phone number we're putting on television now? >> no. >> jimmy: it is not? >> no, it's not. >> jimmy: are you sure? >> absolutely. >> jimmy: okay, all right. but this is an old insurance office. >> yep, it is. >> jimmy: and what would one do with an item like this? >> just put it in the window, advertise your insurance company. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay, it would be -- it would be great hanging in the bar of a very boring person at home, you know? >> that too. >> jimmy: it could be a nice item. >> that too. >> jimmy: so, if you want to get this, to claim this neon sign, go to -- why does it say $3 on the thing? >> well, to get more hits on craigslist you put a lower price. >> jimmy: really? >> yep. >> jimmy: so you're dishonest? >> no, it says the price right there. >> jimmy: yeah, but that isn't the price. >> it is, it says. >> jimmy: wait a minute, it says >> inside the ad it says $300. >> jimmy: so you pretended you made a mistake? >> no.

>> jimmy: how much for this thing, because i kind of would like to have it? what would you take? what's the lowest? >> for you, you can have it for 300 bucks. >> jimmy: what about -- let's start at $3 and go up from there. >> okay, any bids? >> jimmy: i'll meet you halfway, between 300 and 3, how's that? >> that sounds good. >> jimmy: that sounds good. you know, i'll give you 200 bucks for this thing. >> all right. >> jimmy: you'll sell it to me? okay, guillermo, help him out. [ applause ] here we go. pleasure doing business with you. there you go. thank you very much. >> thank you, sir. >> jimmy: you see, crime does pay. thank you.
