yes, salesman samples are collectable. I know a few years ago when I went to collectors fairs on a regular basis I saw miniature cast Iron baths and sinks selling for $100 or more, so certainly well worth listing on ebay.

well thats a good price at a garage sale, cause the dealer would have to make a profit to sell it (including perhaps a % commission to the antique center he works from, and Visa or Mastercard merchant fees), and if you sell it yourself on ebay you will have eBay and PayPal fees to cover from the sale,

so while $40 is a bit on the cheap side, it is not unrealistic as a dealers price. (depending on condition too, they do crack and chip quite easily)
