    Hey! That's trademarked! image

  • THis was very entertaining , the guy must also be a "big drinker" or maybe dipping into some whacky weed to actually try to pull this off as an actual estate hoard. Did anyone notice that the bidding has ended but the supposed date for the end of auction is not until the 8th. E-bay must have put a hault to his joke of a sale! Good for a laugh unless you were one of the idiots who actually bid on the Watta Crock estate, 18 to be exact.
    Just the description itself was to outrageous to beleive!

    Fresh from the estate of the late Mrs. Watta Crock. Mrs. Crock and her (also late) sister Mrs. Thisisa Crock, spent decades squirreling away wheat cents, filling up empty beer kegs, (they were heavy drinkers), and burying the kegs in their back yard.
    After Mrs. Watta Crock passed on, a local developer discovered the buried kegs while excavating the property in preparation for the construction of a Starbucks. He was somewhat disappointed that the kegs were filled with pennies and not beer (also a heavy drinker). Dutifully, though, he passed on the HUGE HOARD OF UNSEARCHED WHEATIES to the Crock family's estate attorneys at the law firm of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe. image

    Do you realize that it is from our very own Russ and he did it as a spoof? Also, the end date is the 8th of FEBRUARY, so the auction is nearly a month old. image

  • by the way... how much money did Russ make off the Crock's estate? Maybe he could take us all out to Starbucks for a cup of Java?image

    I lost money. The sharks at Dewey, Cheatum and Howe were brutal negotiators.

    Oh yeah, and the winning bidder found a 1909-S VDB, a 1914-D, a 1955 DD and a 1922 plain in the hoard.

  • When I read thru it it had all the buzz words. I thought of Russ right away and was waiting for the punch line.

    Ever since I saw Russ' auction, Mrs. Watta Crock's Estate always comes to mind when I see scams like this...
