I made the other half of that mistake on E Bay last month. I was bidding on a third-gen mag article from the Ranch.. and the bid was at $1.50. So I bumped it up to 2 bucks. After surveying my raise, I noticed that I had floppy fingers, and I set max bid at $ 200.00. If the Ranch had some of that magic software that sounds out the high bid, I would have owned the most expensive magazine article ever written! Luckily for me, the hammer fell at a buck-sixty!

i know what that guy is doing. He starts the auction off at a high price like that so people watch it , and then towards the end he or she will lower the reserve to something reasonable.

Nah... lets admit it. Those tires are full of coke, much easier to sell coke in disguise.
How many drug sniffing dogs work at UPS?
Maybe somebody should tell the kid to fill the tires up with propane to throw off the dogs.



Sorrybad joke

Bidding has ended. Surprisingly, there were no bids There's usually a flurry of last minute activity on most items...

He had them listed up before, bid up to $181.xx, and didn't meet his reserve.

When the tire blows out, everyone jumps out of the car and inhales every bit of air.
