I sold a monocle and a neck-worn tombstone item at auction previously, then sold most of the rest I had at a flat price sale. I'm down to the final one of each and am looking to move them. I will post the MB for each item here at the top and will put each item's info below it, so it will be easier to check updated bids. Thanks!

Eye Spy Monocle:
I am selling off an off-the-shelf item from Eye Spy at the 2016 Ebon Gate. This store was, IMO, the one with the most awesome new script released that year. The only downside to it was that I did not see a single merchant for it to do any unlockings. As far as I know there are NO unlocked versions of this item yet in the lands, at least not in prime. Further info on the item can be found here: https://gswiki.play.net/Ebon_Gate_20...sting#Eye_Scry
From what I've been able to ascertain about these items, you can remove an eyeball and add it to the item description. The item is head worn and functional. Wearing the monocle, with an eyeball in it, lets you see the room the eyeball's owner is in right then, for a few seconds(if the owner is logged in). With each use of this the eyeball degrades and will eventually decay away. The monocle also lets you read languages known by the eyeball's owner, also if they are logged in. I made a Khanshael dwarf alt on my second account and keep his eye in mine, so I can read Dhe'nar and dwarven(I haven't tested if it works with profession langauges). I also am curious what might happen if I re-roll the alt to a new race, but haven't tried that yet, either. Each of these monocles I've sold prior have gone for 5m a pop, which was, frankly, more than I expected.
a simple veniom-chained monocle
Examples of Monocle With Eyeballs In:
a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a reddened glowing yellow-hued eye
a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a fresh pink albino eye
a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a clouded tawny eye
Analysis:
You analyze your veniom-chained monocle and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."
The creator has also provided the following information:
The monocle is currently locked.
The monocle must remain a monocle. The monocle cannot have a long or a show.
The monocle can be worn and turned. Wearers of the monocle will be able to glimpse through the eyes of the one whom the eye was parted from.
You get no sense of whether or not the monocle may be further lightened.
Removing An Eyeball:
>wear mono
You carefully fasten a simple veniom-chained monocle around your head, positioning it over your right eye.
>turn mono
You start to rotate the veniom-chained monocle's frame, and stop when the tips of six razor sharp blades snick out threateningly towards your eye. They look pretty sharp, are you SURE you want to turn that?
TURN the veniom-chained monocle again if you're sure!
>turn mono
Taking a deep breath, you give the monocle a firm twist, the world going momentarily black as the spinning blades ruthlessly tear your right eye from its socket!
>rem mono
You take a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a fresh pink albino eye off your head.
Wearing When Eye Owner Is Logged In:
>wear mono
You carefully fasten a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a bloodshot tawny eye around your head, positioning it over your right eye.
The tawny eye writhes as the veniom-chained monocle siphons off some vitreous material, and its pupil suddenly contracts focusing your gaze across the distance.
[The Falcon, Aft]
A long redwood bench sits far aft, backed by a railing that overlooks the squared stern of the ship. Far enough away from the ceaseless drone of the main propellers to be almost quiet, the deck provides a view of the steering blades situated midway down the ship's hull. Beyond them is a dizzying view of the earth below. A lustrous redwood sideboard has been bolted to one section of the railing. You also see the XXXX disk, a gap in the deck and a set of polished teak deck chairs.

The tawny eye set within the monocle shrivels slightly, and the far-off visions fade from your view.
Wearing When Eye Owner Not Logged In:
>wear mono
You carefully fasten a simple veniom-chained monocle framing a fresh pink albino eye around your head, positioning it over your right eye.
The pink albino eye set into the monocle twitches feebly, but nothing else seems to happen.
Reading a New Language:
>read machine
The eye in your monocle twitches slightly, and the letters seem to swirl and become readable.
In the Sylvankind language, it reads:
~Turn~
You can also remove the eye from the monocle via TURNing it again, when not worn.
Ethereal Tombstone Brooch:
This was released at EG'16 in the shop with the death masks, Playing Dead (https://gswiki.play.net/Ebon_Gate_20...g#Playing_Dead) for 50k. When worn and active it will create a tombstone when you die. The writing on the tombstone will include your name, as you are wearing it(in my example it has my main characters name on it). The inscription can be customized by merchants, but I do not know how restricted it is. I believe the description of the tombstone itself can also be altered, but am not 100% sure on this. I will use he info and examples I provided when selling/testing the neck worn pendant, but this is a pin worn brooch! Thanks!

Brokkrsten gestures at you.
With each passing moment during Brokkrsten's slow chant, his eyes flutter rhythmically. He folds his right arm and rests his chin upon his hand, then gazes down at you, as if contemplating your very existence. Blinking once, Brokkrsten thrusts his hand over you, and crackling, raw power flows from Brokkrsten's fingertips into your body, jolting you back to life.
You feel the touch of the hand leave your soul.
Your diamond-inset ring glows brightly for a moment.

Dozens of orchids hang from a cluster of beech trees, the dangling blooms cascading downward in a sweeping curtain of color. Bees and butterflies by the score visit the blossoms, gathering pollen to continue the cycle of life.

Several types of mangroves share space in this small area. Moisture on many of the leaves gathers in small pools, dripping down to the ground when the liquid becomes overly burdensome. The trees' intricate roots cluster together to make footing hazardous, yet at one point a small break in the natural support systems grants relatively easy access to a sandbar to the east.
