Gravy Train Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 People pull weird crap like that all the time. Examples. 1. Couple sells the right to name their child's middle name for 10,000 reserve. I bid for 9,999.99. 2. People sell their souls. 3. Potato chips shaped like Mary and Jesus. etc. Quite amusing though, someone who would do that probably has no life in the first place. Then again, I'm not one to talk.

Cyriel Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [COLOR=DarkOrchid]I can't believe he's asking for $15,000. Teehee, and I love how there are no bids at all yet still.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisha Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah it probably won't work unless some woman with alot of money buys him and marrys him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [FONT=book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]Haha, how romantic (in the [url=http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=romantic]Merriam-Webster Dictionary[/url] sense, not the "love" sense). It's kind of neat, but stupid as hell. I guess that is the essence of the word "romantic," haha. I guess he wants to change his life at a dramatic level, but on such a whim... I wonder what he's going to do if no one bids.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 This thread has the potential to become spammy. Some of the responses are boarderline as they stand now. I will allow this thread to stay open for discussion as long as it contains good quality posts. Just making short statements like "That guy is lame" or other one line posts are not acceptable. Now on the subject at hand... As mentioned before people will sell the strangest things through on line auctions. I remember hearing about an entire town, a guy selling his mother (actually when examined it was only her advice on life.) and even one young man sold his virginity. People do things like this for a) publicity. b) money. c) mental illness. In reality I think the only one out of all those unusual auction items who wins would be the auction site. They get the listing fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol-Blade Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [SIZE=-3]Indeed, I've seen many ridiculous things put up for auction on Ebay. From Elvis's bowling shoes (Did the King bowl?), to Jesus's robes and other more insane items. From cars with no wheels, to entire...livestock. I mean really, 7 cows for $5.99? I BID $6.01!!!!! You get what I am saying? I mean, doesn't matter if the actual items up for sale exist or not, the people doing it are clearly either having a blast doing it (aka Laughing their @** off) or trying to scam some person stupid enough to bid on it. Anyways, the bid for the towel that was used by Jennifer Aniston is about to end, and I gotta go sweep in at the last second and get it. :D[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Harris Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I just don't get why he thinks anyone would care to run his life. Most people have enough trouble with their own. Humans with internet connections never cease to amaze me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcXChezaXcX Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 What, does he think that his life will improve if someone buys it. What if some freak buys it. I don't know, I kind of hope he realizes soon that what he's doing is just weird and just gives it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaisha Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Its just so sad I mean he really must have nothing better to do with his life other than have someone else run it for him. I would bid if I had the money just for fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bid if I had the money just for fun![/quote] Not exactly. If you read carefully, you'll see that the examples he lists would all impact his life in a positive way; the options are almost all luxurious retreats. He also gives himself the power to veto any ideas he doesn't like. It's just a joke. Some of you are taking it far too seriously. So, all of you take a deep breath please. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureWolf Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 [FONT=Book antiqua][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]Ah well, looks like the higher-ups got to him before anyone could bid. That was quite interesting. I'm surprised it lasted for so many days. I guess selling oneself is very similar to prostitution, which is illegal (or so I'm told). I never understood why prostitution was illegal (*recalls goods and [B]services[/B] aspect of money*). But I digress... It does make one think: if you could be free of financial woes, would you throw everything away right now for another shot at life? To completely change your life would be quite interesting, haha, but I don't think it's something I'd be willing to do.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why everyone's deriding the poor guy about it. If I had the money (which I obviously don't) I would have bid on it. I don't actually want/need any of the stuff (well, I didn't sort through his entire list by any means, but I glanced over the pictures), so...I don't know. I guess I'd resell it or give it away. I do think it's a neat idea. How many people reach a point in their lives when they wish they could just start over? *shrugs* out to prove she's got nothing to prove, Sara[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Don't you think there'd be a heap of people out there, looking at that exect page, with the money to bid? eBay is available to anyone with an internet connection. Which, I dare say, would be alot, and within that amount there'd be a few people to say the least, with more than 15,000 grand to spare. Why didn't they bid? ...? 'Cause it's a joke, as everyone can see. If you ask me, that man looks like a complete moron to more than half the viewers of his offer. Sorry to ruin his fan gathering.

kabapu Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 people do indeed sell wierd things on ebay. an aqquaintance of mine sold a bent spoon on ebay for £5.00. He (more rediculously) sold a piece of his fecal matter for (get this!) £125.00!! how crazy is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Moon Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 [quote name='kabapu'] He (more rediculously) sold a piece of his fecal matter for (get this!) £125.00!![/quote] Oh. Dear. Gods. Who BOUGHT it?! Anyway, as you can tell, many people make silly jokes on eBay to make money or a few laughs. For instance, "CAPTURED- Mr. Boogeyman Needs a New Home." Eight bids. "Evil Kermit Needs a New Home- Fraternity or Mob House He drinks, parties, plays with knives A BAD INFLUENCE!!" 47 bids ... I'm not surprised someone tried to sell their life. It's a shame that no one bid on him, though. Poor guy, now he probably feels even more worthless ... Teehee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
