Ebay - What Makes People Bid Silly Money For Scrap?

[ProDave]

first we had the Wetsuit that had never been peed in,.

then there was that Yellow Skater dress.

Now there's this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190880799462?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649&clk_rvr_id=508066344248

Why does nobody bid that much when I sell a pile of junk?

Dave,

WTF do you search for on ebay that turns up varied items like

unurinated wetsuits  [is that one of them paradox thingies? ]

yellow skater dresses

and bits of metal

 ???????

have you something you need to tell us?

have you finished the dungeon yet?

is there some hidden agenda to you wanting to move?

have you got the 30 concrete wagons ordered yet?

:C

Maybe the previous owner had a crush on the Fiesta.

No, I just found it on another forum and thought it worth repeating here.

I only search for useful stuff on ebay.

The yellow skater dress is a thing of beauty!

for those that don't know, here's a screen grab of the Yellow Skater dress, (original listing long since gone) http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/4367568/Lets+take+a+closer+look/

And don't worry, this one has been "sanitised" so it's safe to look at.

Up to £153,000 now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Ford-Fiesta-LX-Unfinished-Restoration/190880799462?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D16547%26meid%3D426980789307563753%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D7839%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D221264701127%26

I'm sure nobody will really pay that. But I'll bet ebay will try and collect their final valuation fee on the "winning" bid.
