Really cool cache container on E-bay!


Recommended Posts

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.

After digging down about 2 feet my shovel struck a wooden box that had nearly rotted out.

 

And folks get ****ed at us for walking through the woods? This guy's DIGGING up the place!

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.

But why pay more? For only $29.95 plus $3.70 shipping, you can get your own!

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I didn't know that this type of eBay humor existed. What a riot. I needed a good laugh, thanks!

Isn't it weird that he got NO bids on the second (revised) auction, yet when he relisted the exact same thing he got 28 bids and apparently managed to sell it for $207.50?

 

SOLD!

 

Go figure!
