Oh sorry - here's the description:

You are bidding on my EMPTY IN-N-OUT BAG. Shipping is FREE to 49 States (Arkansas excluded). I reserve the right to cancel bids based off bad feedback or for any reason. If you do not understand this auction, it's probably best you don't bid. This EMPTY IN-N-OUT BAG will not "give you wings." It will not save you 10% off your car insurance. It will not make you irresistible to the opposite sex. It will not home-school your children. Most importantly, it will not answer your questions regarding the hit TV show LOST. Anything that comes with my EMPTY IN-N-OUT BAG is a gift from me to you.

Thank you.

If we could just get those people buying these inane things to donate their hard-earned money to food banks or orphans or something.
I have a tortilla chip that looks like George Bush. Wonder what that would go for? (kidding, I don't).

I sold on Ebay for 12 years. I switched to Amazon last summer because Ebay had turned into a jungle.

I stopped selling on ebay when ebay's and paypal's fees started getting ridiculous. I ended up owing more money than i was making. At the end, I owed 30 some dollars. I was selling stuff to pay the bills, so I couldn't afford to pay it. Each month, they doubled the amount I owed them! I got back at them tho. I declared them as a debt when I filed my bankruptcy, so they got NOTHING!!! Ha ha!  :clap;  I hate paypal too because I had my credit card number stolen through them. Their security sucks.

All bow to the :
 Butt Nut
 
Two conjoined hazelnuts (filberts) which have the strange resemblance
to that part of the human anatomy which has fascinated mankind
 since the dawn of time
 
Perhaps the first effort of natural selection to try to copy
a very successful shape
Maybe an effort to help sustain the species?
 
I don't know nuts too well. This may be clone able or more realistically plant able. One could foresee an entire tree covered with the titillating shapes. An entrepreneurial ticket to easy street.
 
No refunds
The Butt nut is yours
 for better or worse
$5.00 shipping continential USA

Re: the In and Out bag.
My daughter and I were trying to figure out why anyone would buy this.
She pointed out In and Out fast food restaurants are only located in California and Arizona, so maybe that would supply at least an ounce of reasoning.
Someone who wants to buy it may not be able to get it in their State.
Title: Re: Another ebay find!
Post by: paddbear0000 on April 11, 2008, 03:35:18 PM
Yes, but why would you want just the bag? I would think you'd want the food.
Title: Re: Another ebay find!

Because people are nuts!


an answer to my question---- Why would people buy that?    I think OKarol is correct.

The empty in-n-out bag sold for $255.00! Crazy huh? The auction guy added more photos from folks, fun to look at. I learned something new - you can order a malt with 3 flavors - like a Neapolitan! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170208630690&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123

Ok here is a weird one for you.

Why buy a corn flake when you can buy MY SOUL ?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Why-buy-a-corn-flake-when-you-can-buy-MY-SOUL_W0QQitemZ160228911230QQihZ006QQcategoryZ1469QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Well I have to tell you that Matt was pretty Freakin mad when he found out that his soul didn't sell. He told me that I better relist it. He really wants to tattoo your name as being the owner of him. Go ahead and grab it now at this price. If it doesn't sell at this one time price of $3,999.99, I will be bumping the starting bid back up to $5000.00..... Trying to make it fair for everyone, but the price is well worth it.

The other night I was putting items on Ebay, and my friend Matt asked me if I was willing to put his SOUL up for sale on Ebay. I asked him if he was just plain stupid, or crazy.  He simply said that he don't need his soul anymore. So heres the deal. Matt's SOUL is up for grabs. In order to prove to you that Matt is really selling his soul, I will be sending you a certificate of authenticity signed by Matt himself.  Matt will also be getting a Tattoo anywhere on his body from the neck down stating your name and that you have full ownership of his soul. You pick the spot on his body and he gets it.You may wonder why we are putting this up for auction under the corn flake section of Ebay, well in celebration of the $50,000 corn flake, Matt will consume a bowl of corn flakes while getting his ownership tattoo. We will photograph the event and you will receive all photos, receipts and documentation of the event. Paypal bids only. There is NO RETURN on this item.

I have been getting alot of questions regarding some untold details of this listing so i am adding some info. to try to answer your questions. After you bid on this auction and the money is cleared in my paypal account, I will be paying for the tattoo on Matt's body. Remember, he will get the tattoo anywhere on his body from the neck down. You pick the spot and he gets it. I will spend a maximum of 300 U.S. dollars on the tattoo.  For those of you that know anything about tattoos, that can be a fairly large tattoo. You can also pick the colors or color of the tattoo. The things you will receive for this auction....... 1.  You are going to get the original letter that Matt wrote stating that he is selling his soul to you. 2. You are going to receive several pictures of the tattooing event and of the tattoo itself. ( The tattoo is going to state your name and the fact that you are the owner of his soul. ) As a matter of fact, I will record on DVD the tattooing event and send you the DVD in the mail.3.  I will have a certificate made up stating that you have paid for and are hereby the owner of Matt's soul forever. You will receive this certificate. 4. You will receive receipts of the tattooing event from the tattoo studio.  Those are the physical things that you are going to receive in the mail. In my opinion, it is well worth it to bid on this auction just to have my idiot friend tattoo your name on him. Not too many people would do that. The items you receive in the mail will be quite the conversation piece at your home or office. I mean, how many people do you know that have their name tattooed on someone else stating that you have ownership of their soul. Remember that a soul is not a physical object and you will not have any legal rights to Matt's physical body. You have simply bought the rights to his soul and he will have to answer for that in the afterlife I suppose. Thanks for your interest and thanks for looking!

Is that a real eBay page? I thought it was against their rules to sell a person? And the law. And please don't try to argue with me that him 'selling his soul' is not selling his body!

Yep that is a real Ebay listing.  There is a whole section of weird an unusual things if you select the "everything else" category and leave the item description blank.  Then select the "Weird Stuff" category on the left.  Enjoy.  ;D
