    Oh boy... Now if he really isn't divorced,
    that means he lied in his auction, on purpose..!!
    Not good if he really does end up getting sued or whatever...

    The whole thing was funny as hell though...
    I'd buy him a beer just as a 'thank you'..!!!

    That is too funny! The article quotes Steve: "Most people were just tickled about how honest I was."

    Is this dude for real? He isn't even divorced- how can people apreciate honesty that isn't real???

    Four things we can't avoid:death,taxes,stupidity,and greed.
    More proof that Dr. J is right when he says
    E-bay sucks.
    I wonder if he actually got his $800+
    It wouldn't suprise me if he was also the crazy woman that won the auction.

    Looks like ebay is on his case. His most recent auction for his certificates of appreciation on ebay now shows up as an "Invalid Item" error page, and the link to his original beanie auction (which you usually would have been able to view for about 3 months) also now just shows up as an "Invalid Item" error page. Looks like ebay pulled them.


    I sell on ebay and also attend about 3 to 5 live local auctions a week. This whole beanie baby auction has generated a lot of press on the net and in newspapers. I'm hearing people at auctions talk about it and saying things like "You'd have to be crazy to buy anything on that ebay. It's just full of scammers selling counterfeit crap, or else you send them a payment and they send you nothing".


    Personally, I hope ebay bans him. I don't need lying jerks like him screwing it up for honest sellers. It may have been funny to some people, but there are alot of people selling on ebay who take it seriously and don't want to see people making a joke out of it. When people register to sell, there are rules they agree to, and if they don't want to play by those rules they should sell their stuff elsewhere.

    I always write humorous (to me, at least) descriptions for my eBay auctions. I get lots of email from people that tell me they have no intention of bidding but they enjoyed reading the page! I honestly enjoy writing the descriptions as much as any other part of the process.

    Here are a few examples:

    trash compactor auction

    sink auction


    ON TOPIC: These auctions fund my '32 truck project. [​IMG]
     
  10. I try to keep humor in my auctions also. A buddy had a homebuilt motorhome... it looked scary and it was built on a 57 Cad chassis using the engine, frame, dash, steering and all... and they used like... galvanized steel and sheet aluminum all over. Nasty... My description was...

    "The kind of van you thought Chris Farley would be living in down by the river."

    Anyway...

    i got a mass email from the drunked sailor, linking to his new website. the only notable highlight, is a visitor vote section, where you rate various dude's girls on a scale. the lowest ranking is the old"i wouldn't fuck her with drunk sailors dick and so and so pushing"

    i don't know the link, and if you take the time to find it yourself, you will likely be disappointed.
