1. Just a joke

I've seen empty boxes go up to hundreds of dollars on eBay before. Those types of auctions usually get canceled once eBay gets wise to them.

2. My favorite ever was "Ghost in a jar"

I really wish I'd saved that one. The knock-off auctions were just as funny.

3. I saw one

for toenail clippings. Bidding was up in the hundreds before eBay shut it down.

7. Joke.... Three best EBAY things I saw...

Isabel wind in sack... .(the hurricane)

People paying for: "I will kick your ass".

And a Vin Diesel signed Muffler tip. The whole post mocked Fast and the Furious. It was truely grand.

8. $449???

Man...I'd hate to be the person screwed paying for that crap at the end of the auction...

On edit: I think I may boost it up to $500...hehehehehe

9. $455 now --- just like a telecom IPO

It's not a crash. It's a market readjustment.

10. It's shut down now.

Mighty are the fallen.
