A downstairs maid is not a woman? Or are you into cross-genders?

My wife threw out the Hammacher Schlemmer, but it did have a fancy low vehicle- a type of motorcycle- for $35,000.
I liked their Holloween catalogue offering of a two-story inflatable cat. I know my neighbors would love it.

The Royal Canadian Mint catalogue has some nice offerings. Take a look (they also have an online catalogue, www.mint.ca) at the 10,000 gram gold coin, with a denomination of $100,000. Price depends on gold price when you order plus a hefty add-on cost. The gold purity is 99.999.
In 2007, they produced a $1,000,000 gold coin of 100kg weight for the multi-millionaire collector.

In the provincial series, a $300 - 14 karat gold coin for Nova Scotia, offered at only $2429.95.
For the poor, a gold (0.5g fine gold) 25 cent coin, with the head of a cougar, is only $79.95. The detail on these little coins, about the size of a man's shirt button, is amazingly detailed.
Sold out is a 1-kilogram silver coin. I don't think it would be very popular in the marketplace.
