That is a gross and disturbing way of viewing the Dunkin' Donuts cup, and it does not surprise me that it came out of the mind of a woman.

Ha.  I am correct.  It was an iced coffee. :p

People sell single paper clips on e-bay.
In one case someone sold a cd with only an empty "New Folder" on it.

Things like that will occur as long as people keep being amused by such stuff and bid on it.

Exactly, people who'll buy anything, like air guitars and a picture of seaweed for $2000 really do not have a single brain cell between their ears. :B

Title: Re: WTF is this?
Post by: thegayhare on October 05, 2006, 03:55:13 AM
must try that...

Ohh wait maybe in honor of jack we could sell jars  of sin, jars filled with a thick viscous liquid... envey would be green, wrath red, lust a milky white, and the others... hmmm

maybe sloth could be yellow with chunks in it...
Title: Re: WTF is this?

Pure evil is almost always portrayed as black, sinister and amorphous... if I was pure evil, I'd be pink, fluffy, sweet and cuddly.  Who would suspect something like that thanks to perpetuation of stereotype. 

It wouldn't sell on EBay though...

This was a classic:

The pictures are gone now, but it was an early-mid '70s domestic tape recorder, worth about £25 on the second-hand market.  It went for just shy of $8000 USD for no satisfactorily explained reason.

There appear to have been two shill bidders to drive up the price - what's weird (apart from the fact the two accounts were created in the same minute) was that they were from Japan, as was the winning bidder.  The most realistic theory is that it was some kind of money-laundering scheme.

HP calculators tend to go for much, much more than their value on eBay, mostly because people still buy them to be used, not as collectibles.

True, but if you just wanted to play back or record tapes you'd probably get a late 80s Tascam or a late 90s Revox.  Christ, you could buy two brand-new Otari 5050s for that kind of money.
