Friend of a friend tries ebay.....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

Email telling me about it

Quote:

So,

I set myself up with an eBay account cos I intend selling a load of old rubbish - and to see how it works, I auctioned "nothing"….and didn't publicise it anywhere…. at a cost of approx 30p to me.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1

And look…someone has bid £2. And there are 5 'watchers' - so it might even go up in this final hour!!

I can't quite believe it.

Q: Hello mate, What colour is your nothing available in? Cheers

A: Its pigment is British Racing Green - however it's doesn't reflect any light so should fit with any decor.

Some people are just too stupid. Maybe he should make a business out of this?

I was intending to place a dead light bulb on there some time ago, (suitable for collectors) but realisesd going to post it would be far too much effort.

Great. I've seen several similar auctions in the past, and they always get some bids. I've never actually seen 2 quid before, usually in the pennies.

I think Prince Charles' apparent fart in a jar went for about 7 quid!

Follow on email, he sold first nothing and then relisted and is still making money.....

Remember I said that someone actually BOUGHT my nothing - for which I collected £2 (minus 35p listing fee!)…and I got a message shortly after asking if I could re-list the item cos they were "in a competition"!

Well I did. And someone has bid £2 for it with a couple of days to go…
