Bidding is over $75,000...

Makes me wish I was an unethical person... because there are certainly a lot of people out there with more money than brains.

What a coincidence, I was thinking of selling the alien bodies I have left over from the Roswell Hoax.

the joke is on the seller. if the reserve is met (and you know the winning bidder won't actually pay)...the seller will still be responsible for sales fees

From eBay ad: The story of how the hoax finally fell apart is a long one. Whitton lost his job in law enforcement over the deception, and he and Dyer are now being sued by parties who claim to have lost money in the deal investing in a “genuine” body, not a fake one. Even though the hoaxers have now come clean, everyone involved wants to settle any financial conflicts; hence, this proposal.

Whitton & Dyer should be in Jail.

I'll give you $20 if you strap it to your hood and drive around like that for a few weeks.

Agree, its just plain stupid! What say we take the emotion out of important buying choices?

Hence my book; Developing Purchasing Specifications, Industrial Press, 600pg, 2008, ISBN-13: 978-0831133252.

A comprehensive guide for increasing reliability and reducing operating costs by instructing how to establish performance based purchasing specifications for MRO, product development, and warranty administration.

Available now on Amazon.com, $49.95 pre-pub price! Hurry now before the holidays when the price will go up to $99.95!

Visa/MC/AMEX accepted.

Carry on...

That transaction will never complete. They are just toying with the seller, as he deserves it.

Or the seller is such a publicity hound, he is shill bidding it up.
