The world has gone mad I tell you

with anchor and other simbles - doh

Now lets see what does the term RARE mean.

Funk & Wagnalls says

Highly esteemed because of infrequency or uncommonness.

Well I have never seen one of these and the 19 bidders must think its rare. So whats the problem.

If you think thats crazy, check the starting bid on this one.

Terry,
Very true "Highly esteemed because of infrequency or uncommonness.", he could be justified labelling the first as rare, but what happens next week when 5 million hit EBAY .
No wonder owning tortoises is banned in the UK....LOOK WHERE THEY END UP!.

^ I am sorely tempted to bid on that other fruit loops offering you have just posted, is there a new book due out or something....lol

DEGENS,
The anchor and other simbles heap of junk made me smile.Unfortunately,with ebay,s new security bidding system, it seems one is unable to contact bidders to warn them.

It would be an interesting repro to have in a collection.



But not for $350!!

Out of curiosity, has anybody else noticed the "bidder" anomaly on EBAY lately...I have noticed several third reich collectable auctions where the price is driven up by users named "Bidder1" etc.
This auction bears the same trait and I have noticed others where the price has gone ridiculous for what the item is actually worth, any members here use a "bidder" tag?.

Is this something assigned by EBAY for security?.

DEGENS,
It is ebay,s new security initiative.
Regards JOHN

I am not an Ebay fan, I have used it in the past but now I avoid.

Which is a shame as the concept was good.

I do bid on the odd electrical item though.

You wait and see how much those PS3's go for when they hit the streets.

of course it is rare, seldom see simbles on bayonets these days. And i hate the new bidder names but it helps put prices u for for sellers as i know a lot of people and we dont bid against each other, and no wwe dont know if we are or not
