BIN $100k! Yen? Pesos? heh nope USD! 
Oh, & "Loss/Damage protection included up to $100".
This thing had better come with a free house.
What a maroon. |

Ya think? I can't believe that Ebay doesn't have something like:
If item_price !<1000%=avg_market_value$ Then
API_Err_Dialog.Throw@user("Are you F_kidding or sure?", OK, Cancel)
Else
Pull Head.outta.ass & clean(shitouttaears)
REENTER(price.for.sucker)

Hi Guys
Has anyone actually worked out what the evilbay fee will be?
I do need a good chuckle for the day.

http://pages.ebay.com/HELP/SELL/fees.html
if I'm reading it right, the insertion fee for this ludicrous starting price is only $4.25 (the "buy it now" adds $0.25)... which is rather surprising. if you think about it in % terms, the cost of listing a $5 item ($0.35, or 7%) is much higher than for a $500 item ($4, or 0.8%). let's just hope this dumb@ss re-lists the pedal a few times... maybe he'll drop the price by $1000 next time |

Own up then......who asked the Seller those rather amusing questions (see bottom of the page)! Good work, whoever did that. What other questions can we wind him up with?

P: Hi, I was just wondering if this pedal came with a 9v battery. I'd like to make the purchase, but don't want to have to buy a battery separately. Thanks!
R: Yes, it comes with a 2 9v batteries!
NOW THAT WAS FUNNY |

Q: would you take $40 for it?
A: funny. look at the price, im not joking around...
Nobody said you were joking. Chill out, it seems like a really competitive price to me.
How can he be serious! |

| I was just about to ask the question "G'day! I'm looking for a TR-2 and I'm curious... these pedals usually go for less than $100, yet you say "I'm not joking around" with a $100,000.00 BIN price? What am I missing?"... but I figured I'd get "sucked into the vortex". So I didn't. |
