Hipster High Chair, $10,000 Taxidermy, and Offensive Vintage

We troll Craigslist to find the best stuff your neighbors are selling this week.

Antique High Chair

Does your baby already wear skinny jeans? Do they try to Instagram their pureed carrots if you leave your cell phone within their reach? This antique high chair is just for them. Looks great with a plaid onesie.

Almost $10,000 in Taxidermy

An unknown seller is offering $9,400 or so worth of taxidermied wildlife, from exotic African kudu to a "record" mule deer, to a mounted mountain lion. The mystery is as palpable as the stuffing underneath their fur—who would assemble a collection like this? What tragedy befell the humans who ended the lives of so many animals? Before you sniff at the price, know that stuffed critters aren't as hokey as they used to be—it's the latest thing in Brooklyn, NY.

No. Just, no. Nothing made that close to the year I was born is "vintage," yet. I refuse believe that. 1985 isn't vintage (yet), so neither is 1981.
