Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

I'm blown away.
If it was something valuable inside, the fucker would have just put it up as an actual item. Since he's doing it this way, it's probably a fucking sandwich or something.

And we can all picture what that would look like when it got to your door...assuming it even got through the mail. |

I'm reserving judgement. For all we know he's an eccentric billionaire who wants to give away his Mickey Mantle rookie card to someone as crazy as he is. This seems like as good a way as any of making that determination. If I was dying and had something incredibly valuable that I wanted to "give away" to a random person, I'd probably do something very similar.

Or, this could be one of the greatest advertising/marketing schemes ever. Look at all the attention he is getting--even if the item was worth $10k, no way you could buy the internet and radio (and who knows, TV if the item is pretty valuable) exposure with that kind of bucks.

Stripper Selling Infamous Breast Implant on EBayMIAMI (Reuters) - A former topless dancer who was famously cleared of battering a Florida nightclub patron with her "crazy big" breasts has shed her oversized silicone implants and put one of them up for auction on eBay. The woman known professionally as Tawny Peaks said on Wednesday she recently came across the implants in a box in her closet after watching a television discussion about crazy things sold on eBay and decided, "Why not ... I don't need it any more." "Somebody might bid on it. It's like the first boob to be sued over in a lawsuit," she said. Peaks said she would autograph the auctioned implant for the winner but would keep its mate "for good measure." She explained that she had her size 69-HH implants removed and underwent breast reduction surgery in 1999 after retiring from the business to start a new life. "They were like really big, crazy big," said Peaks, who described herself as a happily married homemaker and mother of three now living in the Detroit area. Peaks won notoriety in 1998 when a man sued her and her employer, the Diamond Dolls nightclub in Clearwater, Florida, saying he suffered a whiplash injury when she swung her breasts into his face at a bachelor party. He said they were "like two cement blocks." The parties accepted binding arbitration on "The People's Court" television show and the judge, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch, ordered a female bailiff to examine Peaks in private. The bailiff found the breasts to be "soft" and to weigh about 2 pounds (0.9 kg) each. Koch ruled they were not dangerous and refused to award damages. The implant auction ends on Saturday. So far Peaks has received 10 bids, topping out at $71, according to the eBay Web site. |

Golden Palace probably has a deal with the seller. Seller puts up some random shit, Golden Palace buys it for a huge price. Repeat a few times. Then, seller puts up more random shit that sells to actual 3rd party buyers. Yay, 10k for a paper clip, congratulations.

Acer Laptop – Like Used – Slightly ShotgunedRetroDuck.com has been experimenting with new ways to eliminate Spyware from our company computers. This endeavor has cost us hundreds of man hours, and a ridiculous number of computers. On this particular laptop, we researched a combination of verbal vulgarity and 12 gauge shotgun shells. The results of our research will be published in our forth coming book, “Spyware Go Bye Bye.” Own this piece of RD R & D history. |

CNN reported that the casino paid $28K (I know that eBay says $7600) and that they just purchased a BVM pretzle for $10K. Most companies purchase things like art... what sort of collection is this?

How much would Golden Palace have had to pay to get thier name mentioned that many times in the normally approved manner? They are all about strange methods of marketing, they started the tattoo's on fighters thing and are using the stomachs of pregnant women as ad space.
This just tells me thier marketing guy is probably a blast to get drunk with.

For those still scratching their heads: because it's supposed to sound like "goat sex" when you pronounce all the letters in the domain name. "goatse.cx" was the best the guy could do.
