Boef Preview fetching 400$ on Ebay

[Sirius_Black]

All I know is they better be glad I wasn't there. My daughter would'nt have her "Talking Elmo" that year, wouldn't have her collectible barbies last year, and I'd have been at least $1200 dollars richer.

LOL!

Daughter: "Where's my Talking Elmo?"

Father: "I don't know. But, daddy has a new big screen TV. Look!"

This coming from a guy writing up his experiences in the Banewarrens.

And before you say it, yes I know you didn't pay for it.


EBay is inherently based on the old axiom that "one man's trash is another man's treasure." If my wife sells collectible dolls for $100.00 a pop, that's fine - because there is someone who was just made very happy, however long or brief, by making that voluntary purchase. As long as the market will bear it, I see no problem with the act itself. "More money than sense" is an old saying with a DIFFERENT subject, one which I will not get into here.

One of these days, I'll get the gumption to prove the old saying, and offer a bag of my household garbage on EBay and see if it sells.

Last year a college friend of mine sold a dollar bill on ebay and got 5$ for it.

I sold a one year old issue of Dragon magazine for $65 once.

I have also sold Games Workshop minis for upwards of $75 - mostly Man O' War stuff.

Is that wrong?

Was the dollar a Federal Reserve Note or a Silver Certificate Note? If one, he is $4 richer, if another, he lost a few dollars. I was handed a Silver Certificate dollar at a grocery story and showed some friends, one offered me $35 for it. I tearfully let it go.

although the seller has misrepresented the preview as the actual book, the current asking price is 400$, wow.

Proof that it's not just Beanie Baby speculators who are insane

LOL- that's right. And we could watch the "real" Elmo (as real as a puppet can be) on Seasame Street talk all day on daddy's new big screen.

I would be willing to see pictures of the difference if you have any?

When I was younger, I once had some $2.00 silver certs that I had to spend because I was outta gas and between paychecks.

When I was older, and learned the existance of cash advance places, I was ready to shoot myself.
