Notice how nobody has bid on it yet.

Asking prices are often little more than an exercise of one's first amendment right.

I could buy a dozen mark them up and make some real money. As the saying goes "what was he thinking"

That ain't nothin', Hurst Olds guys burn more cash than that lighting their cigars every week.

I'll watch OP's auctions for entertainment (yeah, I'm easily amused), and I rarely see ANYONE bid on ANYTHING he peddles.

Makes me wonder how he has the FB he does...

The man is insane...or a genius???!

joe_padavano · February 5th, 2009, 01:29 PM

It's ASKING PRICE. It's not worth getting worked up over.

I've got a wad of used bubble gum here that I'm asking $425 for. Doesn't make it worth that...

Oldsguy · February 5th, 2009, 02:22 PM

Well depends............what flavor is it?

citcapp · February 5th, 2009, 02:24 PM

Now Dan don't start a bidding war on that gum.

Jamesbo · February 5th, 2009, 02:33 PM

Joe,

If you still have the baseball card that came with the bubble gum, and it has Ty Cobb on it. I might pay that.

csstrux · February 5th, 2009, 03:39 PM

i should have used these little guys on my prior post.

If they are burning that much money smoking cigars then they better be smoking 20-25 each week. If they aren't then they are stupid. You can get a great cigar for $5-$8.

I have seen a few "original" oil caps, radiator caps, and fuel caps "sale" for out-of-sight prices on that site. They were out of control, or out of there minds.

They set the cash on fire to light their cigars.
And they can't use singles like the rest of us, nooo..

That is another doofus practice. There are only two items that should be used to light a cigar.

1) A wooden kitchen match after the sulfur has burned away.
2) A lit cedar spill.

I can only imagine how nasty it would taste to light a cigar with paper money. All the burning ink, metal, and paper would really give the cigar a bad taste.
