NOTHING for sale on ebay - too funny!

Post by psychjava »

I was looking in the "everything else" section of ebay one night out of pure boredom, and came across this bid for $1.00 - absolutely NOTHING.

I found the description to be quite funny so I thought I'd share it with everyone if you're interested.....

Anyone going to buy???

:D :D

This past winter a guy in Canada was selling all the snow in his yard! He described it, listed what you could do with it, why he was selling it (sick of it!), the only thing is the buyer had to cart it away!!

The kicker is shipping and handling is free, but shipping insurance is 75 cents!

I think it is a rather clever idea!

He sells the 10,000 of them to curious people that want to say "they bought nothing" and he makes a quick $10K!!!

I LIKE HIS THINKING! :D

It's really a good price. Unfortunately, I already have a cubic $hitload of nothing laying around, and really have no room for any more.

I tried to sell "thank you's" and appreciation. Unfortunately, eBay wasn't too fond of the idea and took the listing off. I guess I must have been going at it all wrong.
