When weird things "sell" for big money on eBay...

[cthulu2016]

the "sale" is often not actually legit.

Oddly enough, when any jack-ass can click a button on a website claiming that he intends to pay a million dollars for some weird thing mentioned on the news it often turns out that the bidder does not have a million dollars.

Whoa! Who could have seen that coming?



footnote: This behavior is not limited to eBay. A while back the world record price for a painting was set by the "sale" of Van Gogh's Irises for some (then) amazing figure. It was in all the news. But the bidder never paid for the painting. The Getty museum quietly came to the rescue, buying the thing from the auction house for a price that was quite large, but way less than the epic, amazing, newsworthy auction "sale."

2. Amen, its not over until the money is in the bank

It is not a sale until the money is there and I wonder if GZ will ever see any money from his fake painting?

3. The people who have the money to buy it wouldn't waste it on that piece of crap

And the people who would buy it don't have the money to do it. Or enough wall space in their trailer to hang it on. Especially with all the dogs playing poker and velvet Elvises they already have hanging up there.

4. It was a PR stunt.

It was probably organized by a RW PR firm.They even stole the image from one used on DU.
