What’s with the auctions on Ebay, where a caps lock key from somebody’s keyboard sells for $50? Or the secret of invisibility, or an empty soda can… and these guys have no negative feedback!!! What’s going on?
It actually seems that both seller and buyer are getting SOMETHING from this. Had it been a scam seller would not have all this positive feedback. There are books sold on Ebay about how to make money selling nothing.
I’m not bidding myself, just mystified about scams, if it is one…
Why do people bid so much for weird stuff on ebay? Some of the sellers say don’t bid on the auction if you don’t understand. Well, I don’t understand and I would like to know. Does anyone know the significance of this stuff and why people buy it?
Here is some stuff I found:http://cgi.ebay.com/MCDONALDS-FRENCH-FRY…http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTIQUE-HIGH-END-BEL…
It just seems pointless to me. Ebay encourages posting an auction as…the more days you list it for, the better your chance for bidding. While I’ve found that true in regards to the more days there are, the more people will “watch” the item…they don’t bid anything until the last 1 or 2 days. I just find that kind of odd. What’s the point of having 5 or 10 day auctions when nobody actually bids until sometimes the last day or hours before the auction ends? A lot of people seem to go straight for the “sort by auction ending time” and purposefully look for the ones that end first. I don’t know…I was just wondering if any other people out there thought this was really strange and a waste of time?
