auctions of great absurdity

I almost bid on this but the fact that shipping was rough made me look twice. The fact that looking closer I had no idea what the F@@K I was looking at made it go here!?! The chest plate looks jetfire... the rest??? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...05&category=348

If you're thinking about buying it, it's probably not absurd enough to be in this topic. ;) If for no other reason than by posting it, you're alerting other potential bidders! :p

bidders like me perhaps :rolleyes:

j/k . If it was a real one at that price though :unsure:

I'm still kicking myself for the MIB gazzete I let go for $50 a number of months back :blink:

Any Aniston fans? How's about a fake "10 x 8 Autographed nude?"

:lol:

I'm not so sure it's fake. At least the photo itself doesn't appear to be a "photo-chop". Search Google and tons of pics from this photo session pop up (Google), the most credible being this one. Now the signature, on the other hand, I have no idea whether or not that's fake.

I think that one's a fake. Just doesn't look right.

It doesn't look right, because that auction is for a photo-chop. That's Jennifer's head, on a Playboy playmate's body (Alley Baggett). While Jennifer did do a partial nude for a Rolling Stones cover, and one can see how that bidder might have thought the picture in that auction came from the Stones shoot, the lighting from each respective shoot is much different. Not to mention the glaring skin tone difference.

IMHO, the signature is also a fake or simply a reprint. There's just no way Jennifer signs such an picture.

<_<

maybe he just thinks his is the same as the big ones...

:rolleyes:

I feel bad for the the uninformed person who may actually buy this for $80.

Actually someone sold one of those Henshin Robos for like $110 recently.

This is an interesting custom

All Transformers are in "as is" condition and all are missing some parts. Apparently a couple were played with in the sandbox as they still have a few grains of sands in their joints.

if the seller took paypal rather than onlyu cash I would bid on this.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3380904358

... then again I am an idiot :rolleyes::rolleyes:

here is another item I thought was funny as heck. I'm currently high bidder but I don't think anybody here would outbid me [especially as I'd make a copy for anyone who asked] but I'll probably get outbid as my max is only $5.70 as I refuse to pay more than $10 for a vhs. I just had to bid, though who wouldn't want a flick titled "Phallus In Wonderland' :lol::blink:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBBI%3AIT&rd=1

Now this is "kinda" absurd. I got outbid by near ten dollars and was offered a "second chance". I've gotten second chances before ... but when my max bid was $.47 I just have to wonder why they would sell to me. Shipping was 28x more than what the auction was, but not unreasonable compared to what I normally have to pay for shipping from china. Are parts/labor really that cheap there??? If so why don't we see bootleg 1/55 armor???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3171359134

Lord knows agent1 would have spent more for it :lol::lol::lol::lol:

The really sad thing is I'm going to display it on my wifes computer desk :blink::lol::rolleyes::D

$53.55 for a green joon's shipped?!?!?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBDW%3AIT&rd=1

"Please read description carefully, I am not responsible for YOUR misunderstandings!" :blink: . Yeah... I bid just cause it's the last joon's I need but my max was $26 before shipping. I simply refuse to pay more for a joons than a re-issue!

I won "phallus in wonderland"... Did anybody need a copy? :lol:

Can you believe this guy? He's selling cheat codes! The most horrible part is that people are paying so much for them. He has a long winded description of the game Sonic Heroes then, at the end, he warns that the auction is only for cheat codes.

Rediculous Auction

If you check his feedback, you'll see that he's already ripped off a few people. How can eBay let this go on? It looks just like any other game auction.

BTW, the only reason I came across this auction is because I'm selling a few copies of Sonic Heroes and I wanted to check out the competing auctions.

Yeah, people do sell the codes. I wouldn't say that his description is misleading, as anyone that reads two sentences (or one line) will realize that it clearly states it's only codes. So it's really just incompetent people and a guy that knows people are incompetent (and so he pushes it). I've done it before (pushed an item) and some people complain, but it's their fault they didn't bother to read (it's not as though the guy is lying). Still reminds me of the Xbox box auctions from when the Xbox first came out (people paid like $250 for them).

Hi guys, I do not know if this is real or not but it seems real expensive, I have seen to many Hong Kong Bootlegs over the years, does anyone know if this is real???????

It's a bootleg. Suspicious signs are that it's got English, Japanese, and Chinese subtitles, and that it's Region 0. Confirmation is that it appears at Import-Anime.com as an MAC release (although the reviewer is a little confused about whether its originally their bootleg or if they copied another bootlegger):

Edit: and at that price, it is absurd!
