Heh, but that would take reading the listings. My co-worker found one listing for a computer box, which was obvious by the listing that he was talking about the cardboard box the computer came in. But if you clicked on the bidding history (I think, I forget the exact option) there were at least a dozen people who put tremendous bids thinking it was for a computer!

Just be careful - in a worst case scenario, you might be chased by an angery mob, screaming that they want their money back [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
They do sell some of the darndest things on Ebay at times. I know there were a couple of auctions for dryer lint at one time. The fact that they were actual auctions didn’t scare me. The fact that people actually bidded on those auctions did!
Come to think of it. I once saw an artist on tv who was making an art sculpture out of… lint.

But lint has so many practical uses!

Y'know, I once saw some segment on TV where some artist painted a hotel room in cheese. Thing is, people actually paid admission to see it... and the hotel was left with a huge mess to clean up. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually my favorite form of art is bishoujo CG. I'm fairly certain that came after the Impressionist period.

i totally agree with you [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] and i heard a funny story from my friend amy about how one guy won a big prize at an art exhibit by having a blank room with a light switch and he would flick the switch a few times...and he called this art [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] and WON! can ya believe it? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
and the reason i didn't get desire from ebay is because the price went up to the point where it would have cost me the same amount to buy it retail than to buy it on ebay, so i figured...dammit, i'll just buy a brand-new copy [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] but i got love potion! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img] yay! yay!! ::bounce bounce bounce goes the happy goddess:: [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
Hmm, I’m not much of an art critic, just the usual “I know what I like.” Made those critiques in photography class very interesting. I love how all the art majors were finding deep meaning and interesting technique in my photos when all I was thinking was “nice shot.”

On the Sapphire game, You gotta rememberthey are not blowing 700 bucks because its the coolest game ever, its because its uber friggan super rare =D. I had a friend who built up his turbo duo collection a while back, but he only paid 400 for it. I’m sure it rarely comes up on ebay though. I saw it up on Yahoo Japan Auctions a while back, and the person was asking something like 64000yen, but I don’t think it sold. I’m gonna get me that game one of these days heheheh. The cover is pretty… pretty =D~~~~ I think there were only around 500 copies of it released too, maybe less, maybe more.
Anyways, yeah I don’t get why the idiots don’t jsut buy the games enw. to lazy to open the webpage maybe.
