Ridiculous eBay Auctions

The guy has 666 feedback.... lol I would buy something and beg the seller to give me feedback just to get off that number. Same at grocery stores. If it amounts to $6.66 I will buy a pack of gum JIC.

SumoLego

Chess is crazy. So it's the same.

prevere

haha. For me, chess would be great if I had hours and hours of free time (actually playing on a table, not online that is). I'm waiting until I'm about 80 for that to happen.

SumoLego

Or you can sell mattresses and be a Crazy King.

BrickDancer

Or you can rule Westeros and be the Mad King.

SumoLego

Or have a creepy plastic face and be the Burger King. (Or compete with Homer and be the Plow King.)

SumoLego

I find the lack of paragraphs disturbing.

I've known this set/minifig as the Crazy King, but looking on Brickset and bricklink it only seems to be called the chess king. We need an investigation.

Why can't I post pictures all of a sudden?

Pitfall69

I don't like this one bit.

How can I go on if I can't post a meme?

Well, huh, that's interesting. I guess it's better than some of those random Classic Space sets labeled "Unknown".

SumoLego

I like this one - it's actually from the year 2000.

^Not exactly rediculous but you are right. I guess it's actually a decent polybag. I might bid :D thanks for pointing out!

SumoLego

You're right - it's a decent price for the Luke in-package keychain.

I sort of want to bid to find out what the reserve is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331584658817?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Black Dragon vs. Tie Advanced!

This is from George Lucas's personal MOC collection?

SumoLego

This one caught my eye...

Only $10k...

Holy cow, can we get the paragraph thing fixed!

SumoLego

Alright, so, what the heck is going on with a $2k bid on an Opera House still available in the catalog?

^ Wow, those are actual bids and not a crazy starting price. Well, a fool a his money.....

^What's with the grocery bags, the poor picture quality and the beat up dresser? "Good condition and odor free" I highly doubt that.

SumoLego

Maybe they're referring to the grocery bag?

prevere

I don't know any grocery bag that's odor free.

I saw one of the newer podracer set go for $12. No minifigure or box. I don't know if it was a scam, but that's darn cheap. It was at $0.99 when I saw it on Sunday.

He's sold 4 already at a much cheaper price, he's probably just away unexpectedly or isn't sure if he has remaining stock and has put the price up so no-one buys.

BACbrix

Amusing attempt at marketing tactics.  Charge £5 for a small cup, then offer a handful of bricks "as a gesture" - or even better, "free"!

I assume the starting price for this is a typo, otherwise they're being rather optimistic:
