Ebay is full of idiots..or great bidders depending if your buying or selling I guess. In this auction the guy states where he bought the lens right in the description and it sold for $128.50. The thing goes for only $105 from the store new.
 
He says he is going to insure it. Can he really insure it for more than it is actually worth? Say it is a sock and some retard buys it for 10000. When he ships it out and insures it, is it worth <5 bucks or 10,000 bucks?
 
Does your envelope contain a black hole, vacuum, or wormhole to outer space? I am not interested in purchasing something that is a negative in the space-time continuum. I have enough nothing currently and am not seeking to add more nothing to my collection. If it contains a wormhole to another physical dimension I may be interested in bidding - as long as the environment in the other dimension is fairly low on the evil scale, not too awefully radioactive, and has an acidic ph of marginally lower than that of sulfuric acid. Regards and thank you in advance for your posting, econobiker

Wait a minute, the real story here is that people actually watch "The Screen Savers" and G4 in general... :Q:Q:Q:Q:Q:Q
 
I REALLY don't think the buyer will pay. NO ONE unless they're a filthy rich CEO of some company or something similar would pay 6 grand for (probably) nothing. Regular people just don't do that, and I don't believe filthy rich people waste their time bidding on things like this.

It's tempting to try but I wouldn't. If they don't pay you're screwed paying fees.

Unless you could file an NPB and then eBay wouldn't charge you? Perhaps it's worth trying putting up your own then!
 
Don't be gullable!

Now there is a new high bidder. It is not possible more than one person exists that would pay that amount for probably nothing. It is probably friends that agreed not to pay for the item or something.
 
I bet he just puts something in slightly lower than what the winning bidder is paying, so the winner won't back out, and he still makes money.
For example, the winning bid is $12,000, he puts in $10,000.
 
I bet he has changed what the contents of the envelope are a bunch of times as the price keeps going up.
I would never be able to make an auction like that,just too much guilt even though people with that high of feedback are willing to bid.I guess thats just how I am.
There are a ton of copycat auctions now like mystery boxes and mystery tubes and such.

You know you can always file for Final Value Credit
But that dispute can take a while before you get your money back.

Because it's free advertisment from all the attention they'll get once they pay an absurd amount.
