These crayons are OOP people! The Das Boot edition of crayons.

They are worth a lot more. Trust me. You can buy these, split them up and sell them individually on eBay and recoup your cost and then some! Well, at least the pointy ones.

Poor Randy must have really messed up his bid!

I'm wondering if it's $1, as in $100 instead of $1.00
Keep bumping it up Billy!

Randy don't you get an email with your confirmation of a bid and how much it was?

Need to change the thread title from "seller" to:

"CHECK OUT THIS EBAY BUYER!?"

Randy looking for a REAL "gold" crayon in the box.

He has got to be thrilled with this auction so far.
The past auctions that you can still view are pretty funny.
He has lost money on almost every one.
Baseball card (poorly described, no picture) for a penny with free shipping.
And the six issues of Baseball digest shipped for 50cents.

Yeah, I can't figure out why he does it.

Over $8 for crayons! Most with points!

I can see the scenario now..

"See!! See! I told you this ebaying would pay off. You said no, that selling things for 1 cent and paying for shipping was an idiotic idea. BUT WHO IS LAUGHING NOW DEAR??!? WHO??? Muhahahhah"

Thanks for the latest sig.

Danol is a beat poet. Look at these two pieces:

Danol, “Carrie Review” (2003):
P.S. The way to watch Carrie is be high, wasted or stoned, the way we were when we were over at a friends house. There were just as many women, as there were men(all from our local roller skating rink) who watched the movie in deadly silence followed by a hungry laugh match and love making. Speed (crystal Meth) kills or makes your horny as a cat in heat!

The movie had Nancy Allen licking her lips in sexy way with a glossy lipstick while giving John T. a 'head' job, stating she hated Carrie White. I never got violent using drugs just mellow and watching John which I wish was me, gave me a hard woody. This tree was looking for a pecker to use her tongue over her beak or the sounds of pleasure would be not ahhh but Eek.

Jack Kerouac, “On the Road” (1957):
…Dean and I shaved and showered, I dropped my wallet in the hall, Dean found it and was about to sneak it in his shirt when he realized it was ours and was right disappointed. Then we said good-by to those boys, who were glad they'd made it in one piece, and took off to eat in a cafeteria. Old brown Chicago with the strange semi-Eastern, semi-Western types going to work and spitting. Dean stood in the cafeteria rubbing his belly and taking it all in. He wanted to talk to a strange middle-aged colored woman who had come into the cafeteria with a story about how she had no money but she had buns with her and would they give her butter. She came in flapping her hips, was turned down, and went out flipping her butt. "Whoo!" said Dean. "Let's follow her down the street, let's take her to the ole Cadillac in the alley. We'll have a ball."…

You can be outbid by a $17.50 bid.

Just so you know. I'll let someone else run it up.

eintier! you bastage! i want that typewriter for 16 cents!!

oh...i and i got a response from my email to him about whether or not i could keep fish in his pool:

It would depend on the size of the fish.
I guess that you can put whatever you want in it.
Since it is not that tall, I think that it should safely hold 4 to 5 inches of water.

Oh man I'm sorry. We have bid these crayons up to a real dumb price. I realized this just after bidding again. When the auction ends I'll Paypal you a few bucks. But it'll cost you a few crayons. I'll let you keep the gold one, but you'll have to part with the red one.

Deal?

I tried to enter my description why I was retracting my bid but it wouldn't let me.

I was going to say "Misread the auction, thought they all were pointy"

I think I can still get some of this stuff real cheap.

-sent him an email asking why these crayons were such a pain to purchase. He seemed perplexed but pleased. Figured the crayons were about the cheapest thing he was sellin'. Just told him to ride the wave.
