its not the fact that he's selling punch out for $30, its the fact that he has been posting the exact same ad every week for about 3 months and no one has bought anything and he has not lowered his prices or changed the ad in any way...
Pretty normal looking auction, except at the end it says, "Want to read an interesting story?". I was intrigued, so I went to the link he posted to his blog, http://sjglew.blogspot.com/ .
His blog contains his book, "How I lost 8.5 Million Dollars Selling Pez". 8.5 million dollars? This book is seriously longer than the Bible. I normally wouldn't even begin to read something like this, but the title was too strange for me to resist.
Here's some real gems from Chapter 1:
"There was a period of time when I worked as a Machinist at Campbell inc press repair, that I wore a straight jacket to work & a 1950s air raid warden helmet at work as a hardhat."
"I told my C.O. that I had been getting drunk & trying to cut my toes off."
"After traveling in Europe buying Pez for about a year, where at the time everybody smoked. I had the genius idea that I could start smoking again but only in Europe."
"So we loaded up 2 mini vans full of happy meals boxes & headed to the hotel."
Wow... just wow. I'm kind of speechless. More than meets the eye with that auction.
Looked for his other items to see what other silliness he has up...he has nothing current, but there's a link to his completed listings. Michael Jackson on the cover of People for $3K? Bet he wonders why he gets no bids
I totally just looked again..he said it's a homemade label over the original label, but it looks like it's a Bases Loaded label under it...can anyone say rental-cart-switcheroo?
Has anyone read Pygmy by Chuck Pahlaniuk? The whole book is Engrish like this, pretty funny
Chuck Pahlaniuk is the SHIT!! I have read almost all of his books, "Survivor" is my favorite! I tried to read "Pygmy" but I couldn't, it just gave me a headache trying to follow it.
More on topic, I just had to put this in here. I am so sick of this craigslist shit that I keep getting like this-
Me-Is this still available?
Them-Yes it is.
Me-Would you take X amount?
Them-I have someone coming to look at it right now I'll let you know what happens.
Why the hell don't they just start by saying that someone is coming to look at it? This almost always ends in whoever came to look at it buying it!

Once you get through the first few chapters you get used to it. When I first started reading it I had to read the same paragraph over a few times just to figure out what I had just read. He'll repeat alot of phrases, so once you figure out what they mean it goes quicker. I haven't read all his books yet, but I'm getting there (halfway maybe).
But anyway, about craigslist, there are alot of idiots on there, but at least there is someone out there wasting their time, too. http://dontevenreply.com

In reply to this last posting^, which was lacethong's SE picture for $20 with someone's phone number.
