    Its a rigged auction. They all are. Why don't THOSE auctions get reported?

    They are. Ebay doesn't care unless there is a potential legal liability to them (i.e. copyright infringement, fraud, etc.).

    Well... He did make £20 off a glass jar and a piece of paper. It's not that bad.

    I watched Jay Leno once and he has this "Stupid eBay auctions" thing on the show from time to time. Someone bought a potato chip shaped like pope's hat for $3000 or so.

    This sometimes makes me wonder whether or not I should put up stupid things for auction. "Brick of Wonder" or "Musical Boxer Shorts" maybe?

    ... (...) And all of a sudden I could sing! I sung and I sung and I just couldn't stop! It was truly a gift from God! And I just want to share these musical boxer shorts with YOU!

    If someone is stupid enough to pay a shitload of cash for a most oridinary item with a made up story, free of charge... Hell, I wouldn't mind getting $500 just because someone believes my brick works miracles, or my shorts make you sing...

    Bodily fluids arent for sale though. 3o something year old spunk probably still counts.:lol:

    I dunno. Doesnt selling stupid pointless crap like that lower your respectability around there, though?

    I guess I could sell my old Baby clothes and honestly say "Touched by former President Bill Clinton".

    I'm told I was held as a baby by Bill Clinton when he was still an Arkansas Governor. Im also told that I cried when he held me but didnt cry when Hilary held me. Foreshadowing perhaps? :rolleyes:

    I don't think its that far fetched. The place Bill was born isnt too far away from where I live now.

    Anyways, I bet those Baby clothes might go for $1000 at least.

    Reminds me of the time I wrapped a GBASP in duct tape, made up a story about it being evil and trying to sell it on ebay for $150. Too bad no one bought it, though...

    Casual, if you've got a pic of Clinton holding you in those clothes I bet they would sell.

    I've got an idea, I'm going to draw a really messed up picture of G.W. Bush and claim it was done by a retarted child, see if I can get some of the sympathy vote. I bet that would sell.

    That potato looks like any other I've seen...

    Man, I could say my 1999 PC. It has telekinetic abilities you know? when in sleep mode it turns on if anyone enters the room, but it doesnt haves any motions sensors, not even a webcam.

    I'm sure I could get far more than $1000 for it...

    You are all missing the key to these high priced auctions: they are listed in the religious sections where there are gullible people who will buy anything. If you want to sell your mystical sock that didn't get wet as you walked through three feet of water, then you need to put it in that section.

    Not sure if there is a pic of that or not.

    My parents probably filmed it on their HUMONGOUS camcorder back then, though.

    EDIT:

    Crap, that was my brother. They did take a pic of him, though.

    Im not sure he would (or my parents) would appreciate me selling his old Baby clothes.

    BTW, I was in an old family movie with Bill Clinton, but not held by him. Dang.

    Hey, wait! I could go to a garage sale and bye old ass baby clothes and maybe fool people!
