Title: This guy is sitting on a gold mine... Post by: davethebirdman on September 07, 2009, 02:49:31 am http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280393746084&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
I thought he'd put it on as a joke but alas he is quite serious.... Hope he manages to find someone. I have a few I could sell on... Dave Title: Re: This guy is sitting on a gold mine... Post by: loman4ec on September 07, 2009, 03:39:47 am Wow what an idiot. I sent him a message and referenced an auction of an old straight sided bottle for $175. Like 1953 was the first batch of Coke bottles to be made. I wonder if he is just seeing how many people send him nasty messages.

Title: Re: This guy is sitting on a gold mine... Post by: davethebirdman on September 07, 2009, 07:11:37 am I got another reply from him: Yeah I know but it's a bit of craic, I know there's no way that it is worth anywhere in that region but it means so much to me. There might be a rich American who will buy it (hopefully) & this will pay for the wedding that I could never have. So come on guys he's bank on ya.... Get your Credit Cards out and help him have the wedding he's always dreamed of... Title: Re: This guy is sitting on a gold mine...

Post by: RC kid on September 07, 2009, 10:24:21 am Crazy thing is, had he put a little more thought into it, he might be able to pull off a scam like the one he is now attempting to perpetrate. It is like fishing for a sucker. And if someone lowballs him and he agrees to a much lower price, he still makes out.
Kind of like all of those crack pot emails we get after placing adds on Craigslist. You know the ones I am talking about, the one's where someone agrees to your asking price and wants to send you a certified check, and they ask us to "just call my assistant", or " please contact my shipper". And they never mention the item by name because that would require a more individualistic approach to their con, which they don't have time for, because they are responding to every item that is over a certain price and appears to be easily shipped. No more honesty, what a shame. |
