I never surf Ebay myself and don’t know the first thing about it, but on a family website this morning my cousin posted the following link to an Ebay gem (people are actually bidding on this thing!!!) :
Enjoy…or not!!
.
And its up to $121 now!!!
I haven’t laughed so hard in a week.
People really will sell anything on e-bay..
It’s worse than that. People will BUY anything on ebay.

What is a toe beard?
The seller’s sense of humor and language reminds me of Anna Martinez.
For all you know, this might be a conceptual art project. Several artistes are big on bra-things.
I don’t like bras.
$ 121… From bras to riches?
Now, there’s the note “Seller will ship to US only”.
How does he (she, if not a brahman) want to get international status, if (s)he turns down a bid from Cologne museum, or a posh gallery in Zürich?
Conceptual art…pah. I’ve made sculptures out of found objects (objets trouvés sounds so much more validating, yes?), and of course the whimsy is what it’s all about. But this is just nothing more than a skanky old shmatte, and the seller a bored entrepreneur with contempt for her market.
To have the presumption of making “art” of it requires some intervention, reformatting. Like the local exhibit of rows of jars filled with bodily fluids and plastic toy soldiers floating around in 'em. Yeah. Now that was some art, folks. Ya, sure, you betcha.
:roll:
Knowing what some of eBay is like, I wonder how many of those bidders are shills or the sellers buddies.
Wasn’t there a bag of garbage on display somewhere? But you didn’t know it was garbage, you were left to wonder if it was garbage or air…
Cranberry, nobody likes bras.
If it’s art they ought to throw in some elephant poop. Here’s some real art.

i wonder if ebay is tracking the bidders and noting their possible serial killer tendencies?
if people are willing to pay $121 for that, i wonder, for instance, how much i could get from some nice, tame foot/shoe fetishists for some old shoes? then i could turn around and buy whistles with the proceeds!
I have a cellar full of junk!
I’m rich I’m rich I’m rich 
Not quite 1 gross yet.

Amazing, isn’t it? I was just thinking I needed to throw out some old undershorts and socks. Not now.

Oh Wow
I’m not sure whats scarier: The actual auction or the monster it seems to be creating?
(who in the world has a “gross shelf”?)
(if any of you do, i dont really want to know)
I like them when they’re lying on the floor.
