    So in this thread... just put up any stupid ebay items you find on here /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

    Items of a strange nature (or really weird explanations) are preferred. But I guess if you want to nag on how people are willing to pay way too much for something COULD be put here... but preferably not, we know a lot of people on ebay pay ridiculous amounts of money already.

    So here's the ebay item of the moment. Not really funny so much as head scratching.

    Action Man

    At the very least, it's a creative attempt at pitching a really stupid toy.

    That's an interesting piece of fraud. Note the "duck" reference at the very end--a rubber duck yellow toy would make a lot more sense than Action Man in a tub.

    It's probably a copy-paste-replace job to add "mystique" to everyday items that would never otherwise get sold.

    I'd have to say that is the most rediculously awesome essay I have chosen not to read in my life. Hail the mighty ceramic pot .
