Title: INSANITY
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on April 05, 2003, 06:52:50 pm
Normally I wouldn't post something so one-dimensional, but I can't help it. o_O

I had to write to the seller:

I just wanted you to be aware that this item retails NEW at only US $119.95 and is still readily available, yet your Buy It Now is set at US $325.00

No anime should be allowed to be sold at the price unless it a one and only sort of thing, where only one of this product was ever made. It is totally ridiculous that they are probably going to get away with this too!!!

Well, I remember someone bidding $690 for some Beatles LPs, so you may be surprised at what people will bid to buy.

The DVDs are too new, though, to go for that much at a BuyItNow.

I would never pay that much for anything. Though I did pay eight pounds fro a promo Eevee card.  :-[ But that was different. And then after that, I bet someone out of a Dragonite card.  ;D

A fool and his money.  I've done fairly well on eBay, I think, but you gotta be careful out there.

I guess the most valuable DVDs I have now are the first five Marx Brothers movies.  They went out of print just as I bought them.

Wow.  :o

For me, £25 is expensive!

Post by: larewen_evenstar on April 08, 2003, 02:01:02 pm
£25 is expencive! I'm a bit short on cash, I'm always a bit short on cash though, so it doesn't really count. I have a fiver.  ;D

That proves it.

eBay is trying to con people who have about £0.29 in their purse.

*Grabs gun*

*Bang!*

Yeah, that price is a bit too ludicris to believe, but the sad thing is, I'd be the only one crazy enough to buy it!  :'( And as for crazy Ebay sutff, my friends decided it would be funny to sell themselves as mail order-brides over Ebay... Wether they got  a good price, I don't know...

The most I know about Ebay is from a song-

and I quote: And my clothes are sellin' on Ebay, and I don't know what I'm gonna put on.

The songs called Sunday Morning after aka Oh! My God!

They should sell all of those portraits of Saddam on eBay. And all the shit in his house(s). It would pay off the deficit!

I think that we may have some Saddam haters here. *blatently states the obvious*

Afura had asked Shayla to come to the wind shrine.  Shayla sat at a table as Afura served some tea.

Afura spoke after Shayla sipped at her tea.  "Thanks for coming, Shayla.  I just wanted to tell you-- I sold you on eBay."

Shayla choked on her tea, threw her cup down, and stood back up.  "WHAT!?"

Afura sighed.  "Don't worry.  You brought a good price.  In fact, you brought more than *I* expected."

Shayla's headband flared wildly.  "WHAT!?" she yelled again.

Afura sighed again.  "Don't *worry*.  I'll box you up and ship you off as soon as the knock-out pills in your tea kick in."

"WHAT!?" Shayla yelled once more, and promptly fell unconscious.



Jinnai pried open a huge crate with a crowbar, as TV-Ifurita flew circles around him.

"Whadja get!?" Ifurita asked.  "Whadja get!?"

"Never you mind!" Jinnai said.  He pulled the lid off and set it aside.  He reached into the crate, fumbled through the styrofoam peanuts, and pulled a still-comatose Shayla up from the crate.

Ifurita grinned.  "Kewl!  You got a Miss Fire Lady!"

Aw nuts, Jinnai thought.  That's the last time I bid in an online auction that doesn't have a picture of the merchandise.

off topic, but ooohhh, Marx bros movies? I love those guys! hehe, animal crackers was just great.

Woman: but that's bigotry!
Capt Spalding: yeah I think that's big of me too but who cares for that one woman for one man stuff. that's the type of stuff your grandmother and your grandfather did. but who wants to marry your grandmother? nobody. not even your grandfather.

*laughs* that was great. I know I didn't quote it exactly but I don't care. that was hilarious. hehehe
