Title: Stupid Things On Ebay
Post by: angelsmom10 on Jan 20, 2004, 09:54 AM
JUST HAVE TO SHARE......
 
Over the weekend, our local news talked about an item on ebay...
 
State of West Virginia .... no rights basically -- ebay did pull it, I could not find it
 
anyway did a search and found a few other items
 
Camper Kit  buy it now $24.95
Everything to make a camper very happy packed in a gallon sized plastic jar. Bug Juice (fruit punch to make and serve in the jar), compass, flashlight, marshmallows to toast, beautiful bright graphics and tied with a net to catch bugs with. The campers can keep bugs in the jar (once they have drunk the punch) and poke holes in the paper topper to keep their "catch" safe. Email me how many you want!Products are shipped by Tina's Goodies and More! Any questions email me!

then look at her other items
 
Camping Equipment @ Wholesale... Powersell!!!
current bid (and yes there is a bid)  $5.99
 
This auction is for a list of sites where you can get FREE or DIRT CHEAP camping equipment, electronics, and many other items... just pay shipping. Sometimes you don't even have to pay that!!! This is not a rip off. This is the REAL DEAL. Ever wonder where the POWER SELLERS buy all of their products? How can they sell so darn cheap? Well I know how they do it, and I know where to go to get the products. You are bidding on a huge list of websites where you can get merchandise either free or dirt cheap. The list will be e-mailed to the highest bidder upon receipt of payment. I accept PayPal, Money Order, and Cashiers Check. Do not bid unless you intend to pay. I always leave feedback!!! All sales are final. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!!

Hey, quit picking on me.  I placed that bid.  I'm not crazy.  YOu hear me?  :J  Just kidding.  I guess "a fool and his money are soon parted" as the saying goes.  There is some pretty amazing junk being sold on eBay all the time.

What amazes me is the stuff that sells for more than retail.  I've bid on about 30 items on eBay, and only won on two.  The rest sold for more than I would have paid at the local Target or WalMart.  And that was before paying shipping.

People will sell anything on E-Bay. I found one guy who wanted to sell a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and got a top bid of $5.00.:rolleyes:

There was a purse that DD loves, it ended up going for $51 + s/h.  Glad we got hers at Target in December for $12.00 and it wasn't even on sale.  Some things amaze me.
 
If anyone is interested here's the link

I told her to sell it, but since her fiance' is in the Navy, she won't part with it, not even for that much money.

If you could afford it you wouldn't want it. Not a level place anywhere to build on. LOL.

I make peanut butter and fluff sandwiches for my son's lunch every day - I should try to auction one!   :D

I just sold a video tape of Disney's Sleeping Beauty.  I put it up for $5.00 hoping it would go for that, and a "Buy it now" feature of $9.98.  Well, somebody bought it for that ( :)  :)  :) ), but to ship it UPS to them it will cost them $8.40 OUCH!  I feel so bad it's that much that I'm not going to charge them for the packaging.  They live in MD, but it must be a rural area.

I think they call it Media Class.  My MIL uses it often.  It's dirt cheap.
