Great morning chuckle, but I'll have to pass to making a bid :)

[TrinityOfOne]

Am I naive or are there really people willing to spend stoopid amounts of money on crap? There was a Playstation 3 a while back that went for $250,000.

[Dave]

Ahhhhh what's the odd $99m between friends. Anyway thats only about £15.42 at current exchange rates ;)

Finding the highest "real" bid must become a nightmare on this kind of thing

Oh yes. People will buy anything. One thing I've noticed though...they'll spend a little more if you write a good story (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3286948469) to go along with it.

[TrinityOfOne]

It's insane, I tell you! :D

I've tried to sell something on Ebay (UK) a couple of years back, I didn't have any problem with the bids made .... well there was only 1 and it was below the reserve price. Though I did make a few contacts and eventually sold part of what I was offering (okay it was a Time Share (sort of)) to one of the contacts.

[TrinityOfOne]

I've never sold anything and only bought one thing. Jewels buys and sells quite a bit.

Looks a little small for me... hmmm...

You looking to get married again, hon????

[Jewels]

ROTFLMAO!!! :lol:

How come i never get this kinda wonga for my junk?!?

This is connected to the whole 'celebrety' obsession the world has these days isn't it?! Now this has become a well known news story folk want to be 'the one who bought THAT wedding dress' to buy their own 30 seconds of fame i suppose! :dunno:

The nearest i got to this kind of thing with my sales on eBay was the guy who bought a pair of boots off me and then stalked me by email for a few days saying i sounded really 'foxy' etc!!! I don't know where he got that impression from, I guess he had some kinda major foot fetish and any waft of my feet left on the boots was really ringing his bell! Eeeeurgh! :eek:

[QUOTE=Silkenfairy]You looking to get married again, hon????[/QUOTE]

Looks like that guy finally figured out half the bids were jokes. Now he's gonna walk away with a serious bid of over $15,000! For that, I'd actually get married. :eek:
