Great "bargain" in eBay!

Hi Gang!

Hurry up and get this one while you still can!

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

The Buy it Now for this Packard Bell is a mere $3100, and shipping is only
$200!

Either somebody wasted some money paying eBay to list this one, or they actually
think some sucker will spend $1200 (initial bid + shipping). Amazing! People
can be so ignorant or out of touch or devious. Sort of reminds me of the
current regime in Washington.

Any small side bets whether or not this actually sells? ... Ben Myers

Hi Ben !

My sentiments exactly. However, I would like to add one thing. ( And keep
in mind that I had my own business for over 20 years ... )

I don't begrudge people for asking insane ( and this auction is insane )
amounts of money for something. There is the possibility, admittedly remote,
that some idiot might pay it. I never found those idiots unfortunately.
:-)

And whatever you do, don't start me on politics. Not a good idea.

I'll take that bet.

It won't sell. .. . . :+}
