Thought this might brighten your day. I got a kick out of it. Apparently an anonymous individual took a picture of a forum post about art and sold it for $90,000 on eBay. At this time it's unknown whether the buyer has or will pay.

Check out either of the two item numbers shown in the picture and see what you get.

What's the largest donation you've ever made?

I found one website that is all about auctions however I'd like to see some more storage auctions on there.

Uh, I think that is YOUR website, but whoever it belongs to is a few years late getting on the auction bandwagon. The tide is going out, slowly but surely.

Also make sure he words his listings differently.

I was banned .. 99.8% positive for shipping late during HURRICANE SANDY .. ya know when we didn't have power for 3 weeks.. they immediately banned me and removed 100+ listings.

I set up a new account, new pay pal ..etc. and was given the initial $5k authority.  I listed 3 things and it said that my wording in descriptions was similar to a banned account and that they would temporarily suspend me while they investigate.  3 hours later that account was locked and all my new listings were removed.

I loathe ebay and pay pal.

Do you have an eBay account now?  If so, how soon after the "banning" did you get a working account established?

The final sales price was $3,000. Of course, the buyer lost 20% since he sold it on Storage Battles. He would have done better on OSA if he wouldn't have set a 3K opening bid.

He didn't lose 20% and he didn't sell the unit. If it sold the deal fell through.  This item is listed on Craigslist in the San Francisco section. It was posted on June 26.

I emailed the guy and asked if it was still available. It is.

"Yes, It is available... and could all be yours for a fair price.   if you are a serious buyer, and ready to invest in a good opportunity to make some serious loot... then give me a call @ yyy-yyy-yyyy.  thanks,  abcd"

$1,610.00 so far with 19 hours left. Something smells fishy here.

Welcome to the wonderful world of online auctions.

Wow, I think this is going to be one of the best polls we've ever had. Probably because it's so easy to answer.

Wow ?

Maybe compared to other polls on here it is a lot, but with 17 votes and over 3,000 members it works out to a .51%....less than 1% response.

I would think something like a 10 to 15 percent response would be a "wow" factor.
