hickey Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Crazy. I wonder if that online casino that buys all of the crazy shit will get in on this...they paid thousands for wacky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swank Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 My guess is this will eventually end up on Fraziermart for $65 BIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 How many people are watching it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 How many people are watching it? Only 15 right now (which is still more than 99%of my auctions). That's why we need to get this on Digg! I don't care if it sells or not I just want everyone to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmonkey Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I love how you refer to the staple by name through most of the description. Now if only someone had a cat with the same problem and the same nickname... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 haha the description is pretty good. I was laughing my ass off reading it. Especially the part about escaping the rigid quality control. Priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Stumpy's auction just pasted 1,000 hits. Help keep this shit up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilstrombone Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 This is hillarious. My favorite part: This staple is an anomaly that somehow made it through all of Swingline's rigid quality checkpoints to escape into the free world. It's story is one not only of nonconforming but of survival and of the will to make it in a world where you don't meet the standards. It is truly a one of a kind item that not only serves as a collectible but as a symbol of beating the odds and being yourself...And now, it can be yours! This is fucking great. The best description of a staple I have ever read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 the best part is that it comes across like you actually believe it. you're not just trying to sell it, you really believe in it's inspirational message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You should have put "GEM MINT 10" in it's title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 So, I figured I'd update one last time, it ended with just over 1,400 page views and just over 30 (maybe like 32) people watching the auction and an amazing closing price of $1.04. Needless to say I didn't make the "winner" pay up. I'm contemplating reposting stumpy but I'd want it to be huge. It would really need some serious effort. Again, not to sell it, but merely to see who would watch. Anyhow, just a thought. Thanks to all who watched and the two who bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
