My husban told me a funny one.
We have a retail store, some one came in to the store, and he had sitting on the counter a paper 6oz cup, like the kind you would buy for parties, it was a NFL cup.

This cup was USED and DIRTY and it was a paper cup.
The guy wanted this cup really bad, he offered my husban a $1.00 for it
He paid and we took his money.He was HAPPY.

Question: Do you think I could sell a used dirty cup on ebay???

Just had to laugh at this one, and thought I'd share it with you.

Some people are so cheap and are tight wads, and then you get a guy paying a $1.00 for a dirty, used, paper cup.
I think I can say,,, we all need more of this guy as customers.. at least I do.

There are some Wheaties cartons that had misprints and are worth a fortune. I would lie awake at night wondering why that guy wanted that cup so badly. You would feel funny if in browsing Ebay, you came across that cup in an auction of his with a high bid of $300.00 on it. Come to think of it, you're probably safe. Things like that only happen to me


The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

The guy said he collects things like that.

Another persons trash is some one else's treasure.

If it once belonged to a famous baseball celebrity it would probably get bids...but ebay would most likely not allow the auction.

You can sell anything on Ebay. I once got bids on 'a jar of my own urine', before ebay ended the auction.

Dont ask.
