The Mystery Envelope

The Mystery Envelope

People are idiots.

I saw this on the Garrys Mod Forums and thought I'd spread the stupidity.

I'd act shocked, apalled or amazed but quite frankly i've come to expect this from eBay! uber-kudos to someone who can manage to sell what is probably an empty envelope for nigh on $6000.

I really need to start shifting some of my junk on eBay, or perhaps spill a little coffee on a shirt and sell it as a "turin shroud - a - like". Someone will buy it.

People, like you say, are idiots :biggrin:

"insurance is required at the rate of $1.00 per $100.00. I won't disclose the value of the contents of the envelope so the insurance will apply to the price of the winning bid for this mystery envelope and not the actual value of the contents in the envelope."

Surely not allowed?!

Though I presume something like this will get voted up to $10m pretty quickly, or if it doesn't you can just refuse to pay and get a negative rating, oh boo-hoo :razz:

I guess if you are rich and such money doesn't matter to you, then its
all a bit of fun bidding to try and find out whats inside. If it isn't
stupidly rich people that are bidding, then those people are idiots.

Or jokers.

Or people with stolen credit cards.

Or rich jokers with stolen credit cards :razz:

PS I would laugh, but my sides still hurt from judo last night :sad:

I honestly don't know what to say, but wow! This has opened my eyes to selling the junk in my room on ebay!

I just wish i had thought of it first. All i need to do is come by a crate of box from the 1800's (not too hard for me) that hasn't been opened in a long time and tell them it's a mystery box. No one will fall for the envelope again, but damn! the box is a GOOD idea!

I bet that the item within it is the owner who is selling it and once the bidder opens it, the seller pops out and goes surprise!

at a price like that id feel guilty and put at least something decent in the envelope...

I was reading this guy's previous auctions. The one below states that he can't afford to give his wife a cruise for their 10th anniversary so I doubt that there's anything of value in the envelope. What suckers. If every bidder were to just look at his previous auctions, they would have noticed this. Pretty sad.

Alright boys, 2 hours left and it's up to $7,400.00.

Who will win? I'm staying up for the end of this one :smile:

Heh...first you condemn the auction for being stupid, and now you're staying up to watch it finish? :razz:

Of course, it's going to be exciting, all the morons who actually bid on it are going to go crazy in the last couple minutes. It's going to skyrocket, I'm going for another thousand on top of that 7.5k

It is a stupid auction, if people were intelligent. However people are idiots, and thus it is an incredibly smart auction. Me on the other hand being more intelligent realize how stupid it is, yet then realize how the vast majority of people are idiots and then come to the conclusion that it is, in fact, a genious idea.

So there take that!

E-penis minus 50 points :sad:

Actually, if I want to be really accurate here, this is what I said ;

The Mystery Envelope

I never said the auction was stupid, I said people were stupid.

I think its sad, I bet some lower middle class person with a 5 member
family is bidding all their money in their kids college fund on this.

The rich didn't get to be rich by spending on crap like this, and the
smart wont touch somthing like this. Its the dumb people out
there who think and dream that inside that envelope is some kind of
magical thing that will fix all the wrongs in their life.

or not... but I'm willing to bet that some poor family is getting a really expensive picture frame.

I think I should get an old rusty barrel, spray paint a familiar 'flammable' logo on the side, and put it on eBay as an authentic combine explodable barrel...FROM THE ACTUAL CITY 17.

You have to say somewhere that it is a prop or something like that otherwise when the bidder sues you: They'll win.

Boo, it only ended at 7.6k. I was hoping everyone would go crazy at the end. Well I guess that's not bad for a mystery envelope, and that's 10k up here in Canada.

Lets think of idea's for ebay money makers.

That's a great idea. s**t in your underwear and say it is a ghost.

BTW Golden Palace Casino bought it, so you can quit your theories of a poor family basing their hopes and dreams on it. Probably the owner out for a little fun.

We all need to find out what it is!

Someone who has an eBay account should email him. I don't so it won't let me contact him.

It's the same people who bought the holy cheese sandwich for $30,000ish - give em a few days and all will be revealed.

they also bought Advert space on a scottish girls cleavage for ?700-ish

Dont forget Brittny Spears used panties!

and the guy who sold his forehead as advertisement, not sure if that was bought by the same people though.

I bet the item is ... well he said we would like it as a hint so it must be a

Condom :biggrin:

LOL, not quite as impressive a price as the forehead advertising guy, I
hope its not for a particularly long spell of time! I actually know a
girl who would (and most certainly could!) probably do that... well now
I've got a question for next time I see her :biggrin:

Who knows, the seller might put in a cheque for the same amount bid on it... and pigs might fly

might put some air in there.
