The Best of Ebay

[Irons]

"ENGALHERD" 5oz. silver bar.

"ENGALHERD", a product of China, is not to be confused with Engelhard.

I noticed that too. Seems you were in on the joke. I always assume the worst possible scenario. :mrgreen:

I think have seen the picture of the plated connector plugs before on this forum. I think it is a member's picture but I cannot find it anymore.
This may be stolen pictures.
Also if they can't write an ad I wonder what type of instructions you get?
ie: soap instead of soak

If you scroll down,you will see 4 pictures side by side.The second picture, with the fingers and the foils,came from a different ebay member that used to sell an Escrap video years ago.It was one of the first escrap videos I purchased,and I believe it was about 5-6 years ago.I guarantee that is the same picture,and the seller was in the U.S.However it may not have been his picture originally,so you never know.

With the cockamamie things out there, who knows if they really didn't mean to soap the gold before putting in the solution. I especially enjoyed pic III. Apparently there's a new technology that I've been missing out on which leaves you with a button after "calcining". Then in pic IV there is a much larger button in a totally different dish. Gotta love these things :lol:

Way over priced by 2-3 times what you can find stuff like this removed from the boards.

$17,400 worth of platinum? This auction has youtube links. I know some people wish comments could be left on the auctions. With this one you can at least leave comments on the video's.

Now that is funny. 8)

Actually....
At my work security gives these things away by the boxful everyone of my daughters and my wife has one on the key chains. They are so powerful they can easily cause pain and hearing loss when blown. They also work well for search and rescue.
Now - two chips for 52 dollars, and they are only scrap, now that's something to laugh at.

You're supposed to blow that whistle when you realize how much you just paid for those two processors. :shock:

All that "loving" and not so much as a kiss.
The "free" whistle is the result of the seller knowing what he's doing to the buyer.

More so it's what the buyers are doing to themselves. Whatever the Pentium Pro auctions start at, they inevitably are bid up to these ridiculous prices. I always thought a lot of it was just people bidding them up to eventually break and eliminate the competition through overbidding? Many are sold Buy-It-Now though, or with only a couple large bids. I'm glad I kept the dozens I bought in years past, mostly at around $6 apiece and below. I'm still torn but it looks more and more like auctioning is the way to go with those?

Check this guy out;

(Don't bid until you read the auction, or after you read it.)

[qst42know]

If I read this right this seller is charging a tax of $700 to purchase a coin from them. Interesting twist to dodge eBay fees however I am reasonably certain collecting sales tax and not remitting all of it to the State is a crime.

Somebody jumped and bought five from his other auction.
Wait until they get the invoice.

That where you are wrong. He is not collecting sales tax he is collecting idiot tax, which is not remitted to the government.

I would never bid on an auction where the seller uses "txt" speak.
