Post by: *CountessA* on March 17, 2011, 12:10:46 PM
Help someone pay off their loan? Give them money for a... er... thank-you note? (http://cgi.ebay.com/Buy-Piece-My-Girlfriends-Student-Loan-70-000-/260751890901?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb60619d5)

Is confession REALLY that good for the soul...? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=190500627931&si=rxK3PkG%252FaagjSChTtAh2ItBqWDM%253D&viewitem=)

Good morning Countess!

I'm really thinking - you should really get out and about a bit more!  ;D

Have a lovely day!

That's been going for years, hasn't it? Look at the number of offers - 302! And the seller clearly isn't happy with any of them!

21 grand for that thing! The cat's bigger.

I wonder how much the Ebay listing fee is.

I think the seller is in Asia... May be a free listing in perpetuity.

No Ubbs, it is 21 million!

But the disclaimer in the listing is:

$21,000,000 is definitely too much...
Give me your best offer!

The eBay.com listing fee would be only 50c, it would be the final value fee of $42,000 and PayPal fee of $60,000 that would be the killers!

A Scottish paedophile has raised a dispute with eBay.
He claims that the Wii Game Boy he received isn't what he was expecting
