And can you believe how much it's going for??!!!! I wished I thought of it!
Is that serious?? It can't be serious! :eek: Anything to make a newstory, I guess. :rolleyes:
It' serious! Check out the link! Can you believe it? He's going to be $15,000 richer from a .10 piece of toast! Unreal!
The stupidity of people continue to amaze me.
can you imagine how many starving, furry little mouths, could be fed from 16,000$? yet I'll bet $5 he spends it on a nice sportcar. thats not fair.
:eek: The highest current bid is $16,600 dollars!! :eek:
What a stupid way of trying to get money!! It's obvious that she just carved that face on with a knife... you can do anything with burnt toast. :rolleyes:
Annnndd........ why does she think that looks like Jennifer Wilbanks?? :rolleyes:
My thoughts exactly! :rolleyes: I'd love to know who is bidding such an asinine amount of $$$$$ for a scratched piece of toast? :confused:Quote:

This is so funny, but who in their right mind would bid on it????? Not me!!!! People these days...what is wrong with them?:rolleyes:
I don't believe it...this guy I know has GI Joes on ebay and he told me he has numerous accounts and he jacks the bids up himself to get the bids going higher...they are probably doing the same thing here..lol
OMG... Darn, why can't I come up with smething like that?

Here's an update:
Runaway Bride Toast Seller Gets Burned
POSTED: 2:03 pm EDT May 9, 2005
UPDATED: 2:30 pm EDT May 9, 2005
STILLWATER, N.J. -- A New Jersey man who tried to capitalize on the runaway bride story is very unhappy.
Perry Lonzell carved an image of jittery bride Jennifer Wilbanks on a piece of toast and auctioned it on eBay.
The opening bid was $1.11, but as the story drew attention, so did the toast until that piece of bread commanded $15,400.
The Newark Star-Ledger says a California man who submitted the winning bid has reneged.
The seller is considering legal action. He not only is stuck with the toast, he says he also owes some bread: $500 in fees to eBay
Ha ha!
I heard that on the news today. He's thinking about getting a lawyer to get his money off this guy. The guy who bid wasn't thinking, once you bid on E-bay, it's the same a signing a contract. If he gets taking to court, he's screwed! :eek:
The E-bay fee's for $500 he can get back all he has to do is file a non-bidding payment on the guy and E-bay will give him his selling fees back. It's just the guy is all about the $$$$, so got to cry about the $500 too, even thought, he didn't really lose that.
I thinks it's great the buyer backed out and this idiot got taken, just like he was taking others by trying to sell a piece of toast for $$$$. What goes around comes around. :)
Ok, first off, yes it Was ridiculous, however, P.T. Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute.”Quote:

No Where in his description did he ever say she just “magically appeared” or that it was some “divine” etching on his toast. He fully admitted to deciding to carve her image in his toast and put it on Ebay… I can not call this guy stupid or condemn him for being merely creative and capitalizing on this. It was a legitimate auction. A binding contract.
