The crayons have arrived. HaHa.
It cost him $16.80 US to ship the crayons and book to me. For some crayons and a book. He insured it for $31.60 US. It weighs 3 lbs, supposably. If he doesn't get off Ebay soon he may go broke. Can you imagine what the typewriter is going to cost?
bothanspy : what was the cost for your book to ship? And I have not opened the package yet either.
- Got the package today, digital camera back yesterday. Gonna have some fun, will post back.

He loses money on all of his auctions. He probably felt odd that he made $1.47 on you. He spent 60 cents to mail the stirrers to me that I paid him 36 cents for.
I am ready to mail mine to whoever and whatever the plan is. I have to run out for a long weekend, so let me know where to send the clown straws.

I''m gonna shoot for it going up by tomorrow night. Put up for the 5 or 7 day option and give us some time with it. Well I'm ready to ship also, we just need a few addresses for RandyC and I, if bothanspy and ChiTownAbs are trading. I'll just send the crayons as it is cheaper and it will cause a little more mystery for the seller once it gets back..

message sent to the seller in the last few minutes:
Thanks for the shipping. Quite the insurance on the package but it was very appreciated. I wish to put the crayons back up for auction in the next day or so and our camera is acting up. Could I use the scan from your auction for mine? If you do not feel perfectly comfortable do not worry, online it can be found. Some research indicates that the product does have a particular rarity that should lend it to resale if my information is correct. Well, time will tell.
Thank you,

PS: how much was shipping on the pool I was unable to inquire? really wanted the pool.

Actually, for posterity, Abs lost this auction because my wallet ran a bit deeper I don't think he won another one. Who am I sending this to (900 book)?

$16.80 for crayons and a book? He should have sent it media mail...
And of course don't feel bad about bidding on and winning his auctions. Sure, he lost money, but he would have lost more if you hadn't of bid (and raised the bid).

This thread is like a good TV show that you just keep returning to each week to see what transpires from the last cliffhanger. Each time I see a new post I grab a soda and some chips.

Well... the box that I assume contains the typewriter landed on my front porch today. I'm honestly afraid to open it. I'm also trying to figure out how to explain to Jennifer how an old, moldy typewriter got mailed to us, and even then, I wonder if she'll believe me. The label on the package claims it took $25 and some change to mail if I'm reading it correctly.
More to follow.

and the winner of the 'biggest step towards making this man bankrupt' award goes to eintier
would anyone be shocked to find out that the person running this auction is the former ceo of enron?
sell at a loss.. but make up for it by selling high volume...
and the anal probe equipment might make more sense....

when the bidding on the crayons start
we need as many different people bidding as possible
the more bidders bidding on it, the more popular it looks
not quite as impressive if just a couple people bid back and forth to run up the price.
of course.. dont get excessive, because there will be ebay fees at the end

I will certainly be bidding on it as these rare crayons aren't available in Australia
I would suggest anyone wishing to make a bid not bid immediately as a lot of fast bids might look too suspicious (and pace them so that the bids aren't all coming in within 5 minutes of each other). Preacher can then always update the original seller with "they're at $75 now", etc.
Hey, if the bids rise slowly over a few days and it looks real, we might even get him to buy them back Wouldn't THAT be weird.
