I love this guy! I sent this auction to my mom though, and she looked up what kind of stuff he was buying and it was COLLECTIBLE DISNEY PINS.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 22:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Well collectible Disney pins are far less gay than Beanie Babies.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

this is great.

This belonged to my ex-wife who had about a 1000 of these Beanie Babies and when she moved, this one box of these got left behind, and now I am selling the goofy little things. Whatever money I make from them will be spent at the local Home Depot on tools and other cool stuff.

Seriously it's like an auction held by Cliff Yablonski.

I loved the shipping information:

I will pack all these little critters safely in plastic bags and then in a box. This way they can't get wet before your kids slobber on them.

Pay what you want for them! IT ALL GOES TO HOMEDEPOT !!!!!! and BEER!

That's one way of raising alimony, Classic idea for all divorcees

I make no claims on value, and to be honest. I am amazed anyine pays more then a dollar a piece for these things. What happened to collecting STAMPS? Pay what you want for them! IT ALL GOES TO HOMEDEPOT !!!!!! and BEER!

This reminds me of the time I was in Disney World 2 years ago with my wife and one of her friends. This pain in the ass had to stop and buy every damn disney pin she could find. I wanted to pin one in her fuckin eye.

I must be really really slow - it just occured to me that the reason taisha (&probably others) emailed our apoplectic beanie man is b/c the wanted one of the rare toys, and he was selling them as a job lot!! d'oh!!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Just the thing to go with a batch of rare beanies...http://www.whattheheck.com/ebay/grinder.html

from another site they linked to:

While they are often into alternative music, geek dudes tend not to go to shows too often.

bullllshit. bullllllshit.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Why Geek Dudes Rule

They are generally available.

Unless they are George Lucas or Bill Gates.....

Other women will tend not to steal them.

Until their trust fund matures.

They can fix things.

Clearly, I know the wrong geeks.

Your parents will love them.

If you are brave enough to bring them home for dinner.

They're smart.

Evidence that the brainwashing was a success.

Let him play Myst or Chuck Yeager's Air Combat for hours if he wants to. Act concerned if he's stuck or has just been ambushed by three MiGs

when the hell was this written? 1992?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

and now, the story takes an Interesting Twist

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 31 October 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's not much of a twist, really.

has anyone looked at the names on his feedback list? the most recent one is a certain: "rcarmody-half"

Here's an urban legend.
"Saw an ad in the paper for a Porsche on sale for $25.00. I thought 'damn, even if thats a typo and the price is 25,000...it would still be a good deal'; so I went down and talked to the lady who was selling it. She showed me the Porsche, and it was mint. Very low milage, clean engine, still had a bit of 'new car smell' in the interior. Something had to be fishy though. I looked underneath the chassis. Nope. It's not a cut and shut. She even let use her phone to confirm the ownership of the car, and to use the phonejack to check the car via Carfax.com through my laptop. The car was completely legit! So I asked for the price. She said "$25.00" "$25.00?" "$25.00" "Okay...Whats the catch." She stopped and stared into the middle distance and began to tell me about how this car was bought after her husband began to suffer a midlife crisis. Said husband eventually left his wife for a woman half his age. Then she smiled slightly. "Last monday, My ex-Husband called from Mexico. He got himself into serious legal trouble, and needed money...." then the smile became quite wicked. "...so he tells me 'sell the Porsche, and wire me whatever you can get for it.' "

wasn't this used again in High Fidelity?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Saturday, 1 November 2003 03:25 (twenty-two years ago)

swear to god I saw the title and thought it was a dave q thread

hey! freshman year of college, i made $5000 selling beanie babies on ebay! thats why my ebay feedback is full of stuff from women in nebraska like "excellent beanie! in great shape! A++++ seller!"...

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 1 November 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a fake. A guy who misspells guarantee and brags about his Home De(s)pot fetish doesn't refer to stuffed animals as "plush" toys.

― Skottie, Saturday, 1 November 2003 23:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard it was crap, so I never (saw|rented) "High Fidelity"

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 2 November 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

enh. it's worth it

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Sunday, 2 November 2003 03:44 (twenty-two years ago)

No it's not.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Sunday, 2 November 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

hush you.

Makes sense to me.
