That is a wicked selling technique.

I still cannot believe it

Snafu · 03-16-2005, 09:08 PM

That is an absolutely wild story. Very cool item.

what if the bag comes open during shipping?

how do you clean the monster poop?

is there such a thing as a monster vet?

*Fraoch* · 03-17-2005, 08:53 AM

It's quite amazing what people will spend money on. I guess people are making buckets of money out there, and giving away $220 is no big deal.

It's a good idea though.

I would refuse to bid on that because of the all-caps message. I hate all-caps.

Same here, I had a difficult time reading that first thing in the morning.

Somebody's trying to cash in on the online casino's publicity caper of buying the cane related to a boy's fear of ghosts, the partially eaten sandwich that was supposed to have the image of the Virgin Mary, and the naughty kids' Christmas presents. Even if they don't luck out with the casino, the bid is already $225. Maybe I will sell my fear of heights.

As a parent who will soon be facing the "Monster under the Bed" I find the story hilarious and an ingenious way to rid the house of this little devil. Woudl I sell such a thing on eBay - likely not but at least the money is going to a decent cause - or one can hope.

What I want to know is how in the world do you find those sales anyway?
