This might be a little off topic, but there's an auction now on ebay with 5 days remaining for a single piece of cardboard. Current going price...US $280,300.00 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5108908701&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1 People must be nuts to spend that much money on a piece of cardboard!
bro I think you may of posted this in the wrong forum but let me tell you something, that is a lot of money for a piece of ole' dang cardboard, and that aint do damn lie. edit: after clicking on the link I see what your talking about, at first I thought it was just a piece of old plain cardboard from sanford and sons garage for 280,000 dollars. damn beer.
if you win do you have to pay? can you still back out of it? not that i bid or anything just wondering..
you better pay... it's pretty uncool to bid on something if you have no intention of paying. of course, i was joking in my post.
2 things. 1) It's currently at $290,000 and the reserve still isn't met. What's this guy expecting. 2)He also describes Lebron as MJ's predecessor. Ummm, other way around, dude.
Here's the guy selling the card: I've seen the MJ game used 1996 All-Star jersey sell for under $100,000 some years back. How come reserve is not met at close to $300,000?
Reserve has been met at 300 grand. I tried to by a 1 of a kind Mobley card off of eBay, and the little b**** of a seller rejected my bid because of "suspicious feedback". I had only received positive feedback, but one of my friends wrote a quote from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in there. I would have won the auction too.
This is simply awesome! Keep buying those sports trading cards! Empty your entire bank account and buy some pieces of cardboard!! You're indirectly helping to pay MY salary, you know. C'mon... I need a gold rocket car! Buy! Buy! Buy!
What an idiot. If he thinks it's going to make millions, why don't he keep it? Well no one is going to buy this and for sure he's going to keep lowering the price of that card. $299,999.99? What a freaking joke.
just like the guy that WON it the first time he had it listed........the winner of this crap WONT PAY...I bet he has to list this thing a few times b4 he sells to a private collector for half of what he thinks he is gonna get.....I CAN HEAR HIS BUBBLE POPING!!! OH YEAH F-ing FAKER FAN!!!
$21m for Becks' ball? It's a joke! MADRID - A bid of 10 million euros (S$21 million) for the ball that David Beckham blasted into the stands during England's Euro 2004 shoot-out defeat by Portugal has been ruled a fake. The ball that got things rolling...England captain David Beckham places it for his spot-kick and subsequently blasts it into the stands during the quarter-final match against Portugal. -- AFP After running checks on the bids, the Spanish site of Internet auctioneers eBay (www.es.ebay.com) decided to reduce the top offer for the ball from 10 million to a mere 23,650 euros. The ball was put up for sale by a Spanish football fan who caught it while he was watching the Euro 2004 quarter-final from Row Q of the Luz Stadium in Lisbon. A bidding war believed to involve genuine collectors and British newspapers, anxious to get hold of the ultimate memento of a penalty miss that cost England a place in the semi-finals, was also joined by pranksters, who hiked the price to astronomical levels. Pablo Carral, the 25-year-old fan who caught the ball, said he realised the interest the ball might generate only after he had been contacted by a British newspaper which was anxious to get it. 'I was also contacted by several Irish daily papers saying they wanted to get hold of it in order to poke fun at Beckham and the English,' he said. Meanwhile, Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo, in his Euro 2004 diary which will be released this weekend, says Beckham was right to blame the poor state of the pitch for his miss. He said he had approached the England captain before the shoot-out and told him he would fail with his spot-kick attempt. However, Ricardo's statement does not explain why the other English and Portuguese players all managed to get their spot-kicks spot-on. -- AFP, Reuters
