I sincerely hope that you are joking,

Just noticed this: If you look at the bid history, the guy who won the cereal raised the bid severel hundred dollars at a time with multiple bids WITHOUT BEING OUTBID! whats up with that? It went up from 150 to 400 with only him bidding.

I'm disturbed.

Either way thats weird. I dont understand how people could want that!

Could be a new business venture [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL@BoB.

As to how the bid kept going up, but only the one guy "bidding"...it's a function of eBay.

What you do is decide how much you are ultimately willing to pay and bid *that* amount.

Then, whenever anyone ELSE bids but it's not higher than your bid, the system automatically bumps it up the next increment over the other guy's bid so that you have beat him out again.

In other words...someone ELSE kept bidding and the system kept upping the bid for the original guy.

Now, if the second bidder had managed to get *above* the amount of that "set bid amount", then you wouldn't see all those "bids" by the first guy.

Hope that explains it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just out of curiosity, is money in Austrailia equal to the US dollar? Because the bid says AU $1035.00.
Maybe he really only paid 5 bucks for it. Which is still silly.

I think AU is less, but not that much.

Thanks for the clarification on the bids. I knew that, but didn't know that it didn't show the first bid.

Ya know, when this link came up, all I can say is I wasn't expecting it to be a piece of ... cereal... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Time to skim the gene pool. The scum is starting to float on the top.

E.T. ceral huh [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I can make a living by selling some of my stuff to the suckers who would purchase it for a price, more than the reasonable amount....is what I would do if I was a rich Republican.
