2-for-1 deal! Buy it now.

:laugh:

That one still makes me laugh my ass off.

Link?

I tried searching, but I can't remember enough specifics to be able to remember words that would make it come up. Basically though, someone on Ebay hotlinked a picture of a printer or scanner that an ATOTer used in his auction. The owner of the pic then edited it so that it said "2-for-1" across the picture. Another ATOTer who was in the know bids and wins the auction, hilarity ensues.
