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"

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...

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...

Bubble Gum
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.

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.

I don't smoke cigars, I've got a "Bugler Thrift Kit" to save money.
