Not nearly as sad as the fact that it has twenty-two bids on it to get it up to that point. ;D

Seriously, though, I'm sure all the bidders realize it's a gag - and I'm equally sure that some of them will actually be willing to pay the buying price, simply for the entertainment value of helping to participate in the gag.

More power to 'em, I say. The world needs more humor. ;)

Winning bid: 80,000,100 dollars.  :o

Will that be cash or cheque?  ^^;

At this point, you just HAVE to believe the seller isn't really expecting money.  :P

Well, I said it, but I don't really know if he's expecting money or not.  I think eBay is O_o... I mean, where do THEY get their money?  Obviously from percentages of winnings.

Actually, all of their profit comes from charging a lil money for every item posted on the site. You cant sell stuff unless you're a paying user. Plus, there's always their advertising  -_-

Don't know why not.  I saw where some guy sold his bad luck on eBay, awhile back, so there must be a market for that kind of stuff.

I am kinda late to this thread so I have no cotton picking idea what it was auctioning but I wouldn't be surprised no matter what it was because I once went on there and saw someone auctioning off an ass kicking. he said it clearly that the winner was responsible for his air fare, bus fare, gas, whatever he needed to get to the winner's house and deliver his goods. he also said that it would cost extra if there was somebody else was in the house that would get in the way of him delivering his "winnings" I thought it was kinda amusing. lol
