Drew Barrymore and Gary Coleman's Mini-Sale

The two childhood stars have their property auctioned off on-line

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between Drew Barrymore and Gary Coleman. Both are former child stars, both are diminutive, and both are getting their private stuff hawked in special Internet auctions. Of course, there's a wee difference. Diff'rent Strokes alum Coleman, who's broke, is hoping to raise cash by selling his own punchline-ready memorabilia (auctionmall.onewebplace.com/welovegary). Meanwhile, Drew's private childhood treasures are being offered by her estranged mom, Jaid (www.gavelnet.com). Here are some highlights.
