When you sit on that plane and feel for the sick bag, think again.
Online auctioneer eBay has a section for unused sick bags from almost ever
airline around the world, described as being in “mint and very fine
conditions.” There are dedicated Web sites, including the Air SicknessBag Virtual Museum, which has
bags from airlines, trains and ships — and even some from outer space.
American Steven Silberberg, who runs airsicknessbags.com says: “I
don't use them for their intended purpose, I just leave them at home in
binders… most expensive bag I've ever seen sold was for $220. It was
a Court Line Aviation bag, a company that folded in 1973,” he told
CNN. Scandinavian bags are highly prized for the artistic impression on
the bags where US airlines have plain bags.
