Rube26105 directed me to this auction. Thank you.
So yes, people pay ridiculous amounts of money for what is essentially old pieces of cardboard. But is that any more crazy than paying $503,300.00 for a bottle of beer. Here's the link to the auction:
Half a million for a bottle of beer!
And though I cannot be sure, I don't think this was a joke bidder as there were 157 bids on the auction. Really, how amazing is that? But I guess it's no more amazing than a fishing lure selling for $101,200.00 ... back in 2003. Rumor has it that the lure recently sold privately for $500,000.00. Crazy.

Plus, I doubt the winner of that auction got the same opportunity that I did...to drive to the liquor store and see the whino at the cash register singing "Feel like makin' da da...dah! da da...dah! Feel like makin' love!"
<< <i>wow with a bottle of $500,000 beer and a $500,000 fishing lure,i could buy a fishing yaght full of beer,kegs preferred!! >>
What are the chances we both make a post on a Wednesday night at 3:30 am?
What the hell are you doing up, Rube?!
I have a pregnant wife due any second now AND I do shift work, so my schedule is always messed up. What's your excuse?!
Oh, and by the way, one of these days I'm gonna have a kick ass macho avatar like yours...but I'm gonna try and find a way to hold 3 guns at one time!
edited to add: And I'm gonna be smoking a CIGAR in mine!
I love this bit: "The container has not been opened and any incidental contents are not intended for consumption."
That was worth clicking on, just for the story.

<< <i>Nothing new, its not the beer but the bottle that made that item so valuable, remember a couple of years ago a pickle bottle was found and placed on Ebay for .99 cents. Turned out it was the holy grail of bottles for bottle collectors sold for over 1 million >>
Source?
really??? thats a no brainer, lol there are bottle collectors everywhere,nobody ever said anything about the beer inside of it being valuable,makes it much more valuable though than an empty by far though
-be new if i was selling it, a pickle jar lol- ive been pickled,but never in a jar, i guess people will buy anything, guess thats what they say about us idiots that pay big bucks for "the little cardboard thingies" lol
I have a mac and can't link. The seller of the 500 K beer bought it on ebay for 300.00
some frat boys playing with this guy for sure.
