Bow Cams you'll want to sell to boyers, and there arent a lot of those (at
least I've never sold many). They're a fairly hard item to push. Fireworks
I personally give away to gain a client base... people generally remember
them and will ask you what other toys you have, and this is where I show
them the stalking probe. Since you're a gnome you start out such that many
items are already trivial (fishpole, fireworks, ect), and stalking probes
can recompense <some> of your money, but dont expect to sell many. They're
toys for rich people, which in essence is what all tinkered items are. Its
too bad that we cant get any items that everyone WANTS to have, like
virtually every other trade (platinum ruby vail, vodka, trushot longbow,
handmade backpack, ect).... the rebreather hardly qualifies. A good fellow
gnome named Yugi I often see selling telescopes for 100 plat per pop... he
tells me this is working fine for him, and anyone that says 'thats too much'
he tells them simply that it is a toy for those who can afford it, and those
that cannot can do without.

Personally, I"m to generous with my tinkered items... I find them so
wonderful I have to give them to all my friends!
