Ever wonder what happens to all those sharp objects confiscated by TSA at airports? No, you don't get them back at the end of your trip. They go up on e-bay.
At the time of the referenced post, the bid for 50 pounds of corkscrews and bottle openers was $77. Plastic-handled scissors: 35 pounds for $20. Nail clippers were going for $42.43 for a 20 pound lot.
I could imagine a teacher buying thirty-five pounds of scissors to outfit a classroom. Frequent fliers might want to buy their nail clippers by the twenty-pound lot, if they forget to pack them in their carry-on luggage often enough.
