+briansnat Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Check this cache container (scroll to bottom for photos). A little pricy, but could be worth it. "Au pays des aveugles, les borgnes sont rois" Quote Link to comment
+CoronaKid Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Wow, what a great scam! I wish I had thought of it first. I can't believe 67 idiots actually bid on this thing and it is now going for $14,100. Are people really that naive? It had me going until I read the part about the journal crumbling in his hands. I think that was a little over the top. Does any geocacher actually believe that this is legit? I'd be curious to know. --CoronaKid Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I think its funny that the seller is going to report false buyers for interstate commerce fraud. Why doesn't he just report himself while he's at it? Quote Link to comment
+carleenp Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I guess that would be the ultimate booby trapped cache! Quote Link to comment
RedWingBlackBird Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 On Ebay, search for 'Ghost in a Jar' - you'll get some really funny returns. For Example here Quote Link to comment

Team Kender Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Check out this whacky haunted doll auction... this person was almost hysterical with the description. The pictures are really well taken. And the story/sales/snow-job is quite entertaining. In fact the seller made up one auction for the Doll, obviously bidded on it himself, cancelled the auction and then started it back up again with even more drama to the story. original bogus auction follow up auction this is grand, it even has video of the doll, with "ghost voices" and the doll's arm moving.
