The biggest scam on the internet. People sell things and buy things through a billionaire's website. If you're a seller you get screwed, when a 'customer' buys an item, pays, and you send it to them. They file a claim that they never recieved it and Paypal jacks the money out of your account, even though they sent the item out already. If you're a customer, you buy something from a 'seller' and send them your money, and you never get what you pay for, or its all broken, used, a piece of shit, or ruined, or something worse than anything you could buy at a garage sale or the Salvation Army.

Perhaps the only site on the internet where you can get a quarter for a dollar.
Here, you can get this cheap and fragile toy, a three cent value, at a starting bid of just ten dollars.

An online auction venue site where

1) One can pick up several obscure, yet cool items that costs less than filling up your car

2) Postage and Packing costs more than the items themselves.

3) One may purchase the virginity of a young girl; a jar sneezed into by someone who caught cold from an ex-beatle; toast bitten into by Justin Timberlake and similar crap for absurd prices, but at least it overshaddows the postage.

4) You can find the items stolen from your house last week for less than the insurance gives you, thus making you richer.

5) You can garuantee at least 20 USD for balloon pumped up by fart gas.

6) Whatever you buy is garuanteed to be in worse condition than the picture

7) Something is always broken or missin, otherwise, you won't get it.

8)It states clearly in the rules that selling Item x is prohibited, but running a search for item x will result in several hundred results.

9) You may not purchase pictures of naked guys, but so long as a publication has at least one picture that is not of a naked woman, as many issues of playboy as you want.

10) One may get a higher price for the item on sale by bidding for with the same account that is selling, bar the number 1 added to the sellers account

11) One may purchase an extra day a week with one's child from one's ex-wife.

12) which money never returns.
Don't pay the postage- it's cheaper to fly to the seller and pick it up. Quicker too.
