I sent a question to "Manny" last night. I didnt say anything about the grille. I basically said it would be nice to see him in a Mets uni sometime next year. I also told him, I think he is an excellent hitter.
$195,000,000!?!?!?!?!??!?????!!!!!????? ok are people just screwing with him now? or are they serious because it's all the talk going on right now, just like the "Mary Grilled-Cheese"?
I think its funny that the auction went this way, the grill prolly wasnt even his to begin with. I bet someone was trying to make a bundle using Manny to get the bidding going, I think the shipping was only $70? I checked out a kitchen table that had $275 shipping, the grill would weigh much more im sure, so the guy planned on getting paid nicely. Just my 2 cents.
<< <i>sad that people have to act like idiots and bid millions of dollars for this item.
all he has to do is end the auction at a point in which he would get paid. for 4k or so. to a legit bidder.
anyone that bid in the millions (some here) should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah, I saw "Manny's grill story" on ESPN also.
I guess it helped with the "grill bidding"...
Anyone in the mood to "get grilled" on ebay?

P.S. With Manny, there's "never a dull moment"!

<< <i>Well..it made it to ESPN. It was a topic today on PTI. They were not convinced it was his >>
This story made it to Yahoo!Sports, too. Must be a slow day...
So, according to that article, he bought it new for $4,000...and the bidding is over $7,100 for a slightly used one???
Man, I need to start super-imposing Manny's picture around all the used crap I've got laying around. That's just nuts.
I got a reply a little while ago. It read:
"Thanks brother"
Dont know if it was him but it was cool anyway

Are You serious?

I heard it was filled with his X Wifes grandpas tobacco cards and it was haunted.
all he has to do is end the auction at a point in which he would get paid. for 4k or so. to a legit bidder.

<< <i>I bet this isn't even his grill...just him helping a buddy out. Leave it to Manny to do something like this. >>
Volver- Glad I dint bet against you. Good call.
People didnt take it seriously probally because he said it was his and apparently it wasnt.
Id be bummed if I bought Mantles toothbrush and got Maas's.
