eBay Auction -- Get it while it's hot!!!

Okay...I don't know if this type of thing is allowed (it's advertisement...) but I've just signed up for eBay and I wanted to show off my first auction here.

Yay eBay!

It will probably be your last auction too.

edit: Monkey, i'm just joking around with you. I didn't want to sound like a complete jackass for making a funny comment.

Did you read this?

Baron · Wed 29/11/2006 20:15:35

What would you charge to ship outside the U.S.?

EDIT: Yeah, reading it over I see that he will ship anywhere. I just looked at the Ship To graph of costs at the bottom of the page, which only includes the U.S.

The auction page says it's free anywhere, unless I misunderstood the relation of the two phrases concidering shipping.

but I've just signed up for eBay...

The page says "Member since May-06-05"

Even better...

I would sell my soul for 10 bucks!

But then you'd be dead inside, and you wouldn't laugh once while watching Itchy and Scratchy.

And congrats on the two bids so far! I guess...

Are you trying to get your eBay page on digg.com?

Actually I got the idea from a friend of mine. He knew some guys who did this thing. Anyway...it's up to $0.30USD!!! w00t (as they say...in...less formal forums

).

What I meant is that I've only just signed up for a seller's account. I signed up in 2005 because I knew you could use PayPal for transactions. I didn't realize that PayPal had to be set up with a checking account / credit card and that eBay charged listing / seller's fees. So I've only today actually started using the account.

I was about to bid, but then I saw this auction. Frankly that's much better than what you're offering, cheaper too!

monkey0506 · Thu 30/11/2006 06:47:23

....that whore.

I just didn't want to actually lose any money (assuming I could at least get 1 bid...which apparently I can)...which is why I started the auction at $0.22.

Anyway...I figured it would be a fun way to start off my eBaying. I'll probably sell lots of things...at least I'd like to. The Sims Vacation I don't play. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic PC I don't play. My MP3 player that was given to me is a 128 MB RCA Lyra that I don't use...I can fit more on an MP3 CD so...Heh...I'd even be willing to auction off this pile of assorted computer wires/components we have. Laptop-CD drives...parallel port cables...laptop battery chargers...Thanks for the interest though!

DOMINO: WTF? YOU PRICK! Screw you too! Man-whore!*

*Lol. I didn't take any offense Domino. But thanks for clarifying the meaning of your comment. ~Cheers!

veryweirdguy · Thu 30/11/2006 12:51:20

Oh man! "Invalid item"?

What was it, monkey?

Domino · Thu 30/11/2006 14:49:20

Who's Dominic?

Monkey, if i still had my Ebay account, i definitely would buy the Sims Vacation expansion pack you got there.

I'm missing that one.

monkey0506 · Thu 30/11/2006 19:54:10

Hehehe...Apparently eBay has a "no item" policy...in that you can't sell "no item". It's a stupid rule. But I was listing "Absolutely nothing." The bidding started at $0.22USD and got up to $0.30USD before it got cancelled.

And Domino...I don't know what you're talking about. :

I fail to see why this rule is stupid. Or is it because people are really keen on paying for nothing? Beats me...

monkey0506 · Thu 30/11/2006 20:02:36

The item clearly stated that what people were bidding on absolutely nothing. I say if people are willing to bid on nothing, why not let them? But then it's not my site, so...

I'm just upset that I got my 8 cents taken away from me. :'(

Boy, talking about flaming on the forums. My feelings are hurt now. :'(

monkey0506 · Thu 30/11/2006 20:05:38

You'll have to excuse me...I was very sleep deprived. Had I been in a sensible state of mind I wouldn't have included a disclaimer.

[EDIT:]

Domino...if you're not too terribly upset I've listed The Sims Vacation. Of course you said "if [you] still had [your] eBay account"...but thought I'd let you know if you're interested.
