Well duh! It's just an Arc LS in there begging to be used. Silly company, put a nice flashlight (But certainly not worth even close to $100,000...sorry) in a black box and tie some red yarn around it and try to sell it for $500,000

I'd bid too, but I'm saving up for a Mercedes S600...among other thigns, but the S600 is definatly the most expensive thing I'm saving for.

$500,000?? For a chained up case, with no guarantee of whats in it?

Man, I have a little trouble believing that..

Well, Graham - You must not be the kind of sucker... uh, bidder they're looking for.

AAAh, I know a thing or two about trapping demons and evil spirits, and I can assure you that a black Samsonite makeup case with red yarn and brass lamp-hanging-chain won't do it.

I will admit that this is one of the more interesting eBay joke / troll auctions. Beats the heck out of "Elian's Raft" and the "clone of Pamela Anderson". Probably this is by the same guy that offered to sell his soul to the highest bidder on eBay a couple of years ago.

Darell,

I think they included the board-game from the movie JUMANJI in that case.

Would you guys hold it down? I'm trying to decide when best to swoop in and make sure I GET this thing! I probably shouldn't have even brought it up. I don't need the competition on this bad boy.

Did you bother to ask the seller if the "box" has a dimmer switch on it?

Wow, Graham! Someone put in a lot of work and creativity into that site for no apparent reason or purpose.

I didn't click on every button or link, but do they do anything there to actually make a dollar (or a Yen considering where you are)?

.....OH, looking again, I see that some of those Amazon.com and poster sales links are real, Maybe they get some commission... I've sold about $1500 worth of stuff for Amazon from my book reviews site, and have yet to see a cent from them though....

The book links are the only ones that have anything real - the rest is all made up - but pretty funny. Its worth reading through it all.

WAHOO My brand new corporate tower lair from villansupply.com should be in the first phases of construction as we speak! And for the low low price of $2,500,000. Bargain if this thing is as tall as they make it look!

Great site Graham. I've seen people quote from it before. Cracks me up every time. In fact, those guys should probably be alerted to this auction.
