    That's true. While looking for Sample slabs on eBay I found an old free can of Comet sample for sale: Text
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    careful! "comet" should only be used for cleaning rare proof mint-errors!

    The Onion is really funny sometimes. They had an ebay spoof once about a guy who was drinking while on ebay. Woke up the next morning to discover he bought the entire set of the TV show "Mama's Family" for $250. Could be worse. You could wake up and discover you bought one of Kincoin's auctions.

    Let's not start the bashing again... I hate to say it but the article is right. I was cleaning out the junk drawer and found a bunch of stuff when I worked for Apple Computer. Not know what to do with it I put it on E-Bay. You should see the prices the stuff brought.

    This may be a sendup, but it sure reflects the reality of some!

    Madmarty,

    That's pretty good selling wine glasses for $93.
    What was so good about the book that it brought $117.50?

    You are right about ebay. If you had a yard sale the Apple stuff wouldn't have sold for $5 each. That's what makes the Onion thing so funny. It hit's so close to the truth.

    Sorry about bashing Kincoin. Just couldn't help myself. When someone is trying to sell something worth at most a few hudred bucks for $145,000 they are just asking for it. Then when they throw in the Christian thing to make themselves look moral it just really bugs me. I just hope no one buys it. Would rather send my money to PETRD(People for the ethical treatment of Red Ants).
