Is it ever possible: Too much info?

I enjoyed this eBay auction. Seems like the seller put a ton of effort into selling a $20. coin!

He needs to look up the word paragraph. At least his cap lock key isn't broken like so many other sellers.

Well if I even need to write a paper on SBA & womens sufferage I know where to go

braddick - I'm too lazy to do the calculation - even if he gets his price, how much is that per word?!!

LanLord

I just can't concentrate on something like that. Is there a readers digest version? Better yet, it's an SBA, probably not worth the effort.

I always wondered who that Susan B. Anthony chick was

Is that a new ebay service, to automatically insert the encyclopedia britannica entry based on keywords?

Maybe Founding Father is the seller, that would splain it.

How much effort is involved in cutting and pasting from a website?

Linky that is much easier to read than that auction

Yikes! Stujoe, before I checked out that link, I never thought the image on the SBA Dollar could be described as "flattering!"

I'm sorry I saw that picture of old S.B.A. She was one scary lady.

When the SBA came out Anthony's relative were not happy with it because in their opinion Gasparro "prettied her up" too much.

She looks like my boss

AHHHHHHH After looking at the picture on the link, I'm afraid to go to bed.

How come the seller didn't post that picture on ebay. It would have made the coin look like a St. Gaudens. I bet he would have gotten a few bids too.

Notice how much of the stuff took place in NY? New York is full of people that want to go against a person, idea or thing. Of course, I'm not the typical New Yorker.

Let's say he recieved the 9.99 for his coin/labor of typing...

That makes .00394 pe word...Hardly worth the effort.

Now can someone tell me the caloric content expended typing 2530 words?

A case of someone with too much time and too little to do!!

Well, I dont think he spent as much time as you guys do. I'd bet a AU 2000-D nickel that that the part about Susan B. came out of some type of electronic reference material... something like Encarna, or maybe some web page off somewhere.

Ray,

I think you might be guilty of some miscalculations. I have spent the last 23 hours, 10 minutes and 8 seconds, checking out the listing. According to my figures, your word count (below) is off by 3 and your character count (below) is off by 8.

The good news is that we each burned some calories of our own.

Suppose he decides to sell a Washington quarter
and do his bio?

For everyones information, I cut and pasted the entire thread onto word, then I went up to the tools menu and hit the word count tab....Then I had to do a little math.

now you know,

No wonder he didn't get any bids, he talked to much!
