I am wondering if anyone else ever received unusual gifts.

For example, today, a company unexpectedly gifted me sixteen brand
name pallet jacks in great condition.

An elated customer gave me a brand new pace desoldering system. Price (at the time) was something over $700. Over the years, it's value has been, well, priceless.

Last month, another elated customer gave me a set of cufflinks (now I just need a tux shirt).

When Mitutoyo was my advertising client, back when their HQ was in NJ,
I frequently took items home to photograph on my seamless backgrounds
and tabletop setups with a view camera, which I didn't like to take to
their office. Things like a digital mike, a conventional mike, two
digital calipers, a granite surface plate, and a bunch of ceramic gage
blocks. When I tried to return them, they'd say, "Oh no, we can't take
them back. We've already written them off as advertising expense."

Unfortunately, they moved to Aurora, IL before I had to photograph a
DRO. g
