You can auction it on eBay for 1 cent starting bid... but say that buyer pays a fixed shipping cost of $6.00. Instant profit!

BTW, I was going to snipe the auction, but it went too high at $6. I am holding out for the coctail straws with the clown face on them.

final bid was $6.00. I was just kidding around and didn't expect to win. Crap. That'll teach me. I am now the proud owner of a $6 typewriter that I can't use. Even the fact that the shipping will be more than $6 doesn't make me any happier about it.

%^%&^*#@ einTier you stole my typewriter!
I will use it for your ransom note.
No action for days so I went to bed.
No crayon for you.

-guess I can stop looking for the monkey.

Preacher, you want it? I'll have him ship it to you. I didn't mean to steal it, honest!

It was a goof, a joke, .... you know. Seriously, I don't want it. Old moldy, crusty thing.

Stop describing your monkey to me and enjoy your winnings. Congrats. I really wanted the pool and the crayons, but lost the pool.

Just remember what jarsim suggested, post a pic when it arrives. Monkey optional.

It's all fun and games until someone wins a typewriter.

I pushed ABS "900 book" auction to a more respectable 17 cents. He's going to keill me.

I am more worried about crazy, demented otters that don't win their auctions for 7 cents and come after pranksters like me.

Hah! The self -realization book is mine. Only seconds left it seems safer to brag. Looking for a world of help from this ground breaking work. So how bad do you want the 900 help book?
