  • LOL, sometimes I wish I had an Ebay account to throw away just so I could mess with people like this.

    I had to let the individual know... even for the nickel, the airplane ticket, and the X Box, Games & Ipod for 1.5 million, it still wouldnt touch the highest price ever paid for a nickel.

    BTW, since he included the airplane ticket and X Box... wouldn't that negate the whole aspect of a record for the highest price ever paid for only a nickel?

    For 50K... you get free shipping! Where do I send my money? image

    Also, I wonder how much money this ad cost the seller?
