Check out this ebay seller
Check out this guy's auctions
Note the Old IBM typewriter. Asking $.01 cents. As of this moment, no bids. Note seller pays shipping and will ship internationally
Per description, seller knows this and is hoping the auction will pay for the shipping.
Check out his coctail (sic) stirrers. Read his descriptions. It's freakin hilarious. Like if one of our users (starts with D, ends with L) went on an ebay selling spree.
In reviewing his past auctions, he has indeed sold stuff for only 1 cent and paid for shipping. One has to ask...
WHY?
Cocktail Straws
Typewriter
Crayons!
Pool

204 positive feedbacks (100%), though.
I like this line from his Kiddie Pool auction:
"Because of the possibility of a small kid drownding in the little water that it holds, the bidder and buyer agree to hold me harmless and free of any and all product liability."

Just a side note. The Harlequin Romances has 5 bids but is at 1 cent. That tells you something as a seller. The bidder panicked 4 times after the initial bid and upped the bid (in proxy).
So who knows how high that person is willing to go. Unless someone else bids, they get it for 1 cent. I wonder if one of those is rare or something.

He needs lessons in marketing.
"TOO HOT FOR THE OMAHA PUBLIC LIBRARY! The secrets have long been withheld, but now you too can own and operate a 900 number business. Porn is where it's at. Phone porn. You will be making money hand over fist"

My thought was that he's buying and selling feedback. But why he'd ship a typewriter internationally is beyond me though. The cost of that would be more than ANY feedback is worth.

His descriptions are priceless.

Sorry, I had to take that out. What pisses me off is I deleted most of that this morning and he put it back. I know it's entertaining, but getting that graphic (crave attention much?) in the movie and DVD forums is not okay. Sigh.

Maybe a certain someone should be introduced to the mature forum.

Typewriters! My kid was wondering what it would be like to obessively collect typewriters, and if you did, how much would they be. The 1 cent and free international shipping brought this one to her attention. She then checked out the rest of his auctions.
I felt sorry for him, so I bid on the crayons and straws. Easy to ship.

Exactly how many still have a very pointy tip?
