Jason, your response to the above comments was the most democratic and, again, worth every educating minute for the whys and wherefores. I am, at the same time, wondering where the rude and cynical people are and find they are laying in wait for those who do provide any kind of service. Thank you so much for being a better person than I could have been in responding and to "Worthpoint" for an amazing service that helps me everyday. To those who find nothing but negativity in everything...you are missing out on so much by providing nothing more than a forum for your personal opinions that offer little substance other than providing an outlet for other negative know-it-alls who added zero to the issue.

It is also not easily influenced by one person. For example the Hennessy Congac item alone was viewed about 2,200 times by 1,800 different people. It is important to note however that these are the most popular *individual* items, not the most popular categories or aggregated types of items. Our most popular categories might be more what you might expect: Ceramics, Furniture, Militaria. So why were these particular items so popular? Sometimes it's because very similar items were featured somewhere in the news or popular media in the last month. For instance thanks to comments from our readers last month on our Top 10 items from April we found out that two similar items were featured on the History Channel series Pawn Stars, and one other was mentioned in Martha Stewart Living. The Three Tier Sewing Box from this month was popular because it was featured on Raverly.com, a very popular knitting & crocheting community. So not only does each item have a unique story & history, but the reasons why they have become popular on the Worthopedia also has a story. Perhaps in future months we should attempt to tell those stories as well as we're able to, but sometimes why individual items are popular is just as much a mystery to us.
