Its a brilliant move by him. Its been on numerous news channels, you couldn't buy the type of advertising he's getting for any amount.
Still almost four days left to bid and the bids appear to be legit. This could go off for a huge amount.
If Miley Cyrus is making money than so should he.
likely > 90 % of bids are fake and will be retracted if they are the winning bid.
Although if bitcoins are worth 1000, why can't this be worth 100k
If you think those bids look legit, then I got a BAP I'd like to tell you a little bit about....Quote:

The bid for $99k is a guy with 380 transactions and 100% positive feedback score. There are several others with long histories, as well. The randoms in between don't really matter. DUCY?Quote:

Indeed, because we all know that ebay ratings are foolproof, much like youtube view counts.Quote:

Is it possible those bids are real? Of course. Is it likely? Of course not.

Ok, Shall we wager then? I will bet you that it sells for $100k or more. If it sells for less or becomes delisted because of fake bids then you win. Since you're so sure these are fake bids this should be a gimme for you. We can have Druff escrow. Let me know the amount.Quote:

I'm not much for these types of wagers, but I'll do $50 just for the fuck of it.Quote:

The bet is about whether this specific auction listing will end in a completed sale for $100,000 or more. I say it does not, you say it does. If the item gets pulled for any reason, I win, even if it gets re-listed immediately. Essentially, the above link has to show a real, completed sale for over $100K for you to win. Any other outcome, I win.
Deal? May be tomorrow afternoon by the time I get the money to Druff, but I promise you I am 100% good for this.
Ok deal. No need to escrow if its just $50. I dont know much about ebay so I'm already assuming I'll lose on some weird re-listing technicality, but we'll see. COnfirmed bet on my end.Quote:

If I wanted to suffer through eBay support, I suppose I could try to get approved.Quote:

How sad does your life have to be to go through all of the trouble just to be able to say "haha I made a fake bid"?Quote:

Says the guy wagering on the outcome of this auction.Quote:

I wasn't referring to you specifically (although I could see how you would think that), but to people that actually go through with it.Quote:

There, now go print it on your printer and you own it. $100k saved. PS, this is a 3 minute job. Hell, I even have that font.
This one may fetch even more.

so much for my career in art pricing. ship me your paypal or whatever. there's still a chance the buyer isn't legit and this goes to the 2nd chance sale, but I'm not counting on that happening.
