That's awesome. For a couple minutes, the bid was at like $10,000,000, but a bunch of them keep getting retracted or cancelled. That dude is going to make bank!

Did you post this over on CAF?

I swear I saw a link over there...
Funny stuff.

It was only at 1.9M views on the counter when I read it - earlier this morning! :eek:

Nah, I beat them all up. :D

J/K... seriously though, there are good people over there!
The mean ones get abused by the rest, and generally simply make fools of themselves, honestly. ;)

Plus - they just installed new software, which includes "reputation points".
In the past, in other forums, I haven't been a fan of this sort of thing at all...
But anyone can vote on any post that you make, and alter your reputation...

Needless to say, the "mean people" aren't starting to look so good right about now. :cool:

Obviously, you can leave feedback on anyone too.

DANG. 13 MILLION HITS! That's a $1200 dress that sold for $3800. It pays to be funny. Man, that's freaking awesome. Makes me want to sell a bunch of stuff. I think he got his beers :)

Reputation points? That sound kind of interesting. I would say they should do something like that over here but we dont have that many people over here so we know already that we're all full of ****!! :p

That was kinda random, but yeah, I think that is pretty cool. Lets newbies know who they can trust, and who just hogs all the thread space with nonsensical ramblings...

Yeah, but comedic relief is necessary once in a while :) Comedy is almost always "On Topic"

Now why can't I think of things like making a Wedding Dress Guy Doll? $80 for a ken doll in a dress...stunning... the dude that won is going to get that in the mail and think, "What was I thinking?" Then he'll show it to his friends and they'll say, "Eh. What were you thinking? You paid $80 for a ken doll in a dress. My sister has 5 of those at home!" A little creativity and a good description will go a long way on ebay.
