    Default A very expensive cardboard box

    I know Lie-Nielsen stuff is good quality, but this is ridiculous. :confused:

    I suppose this is a good example of how important it is to actually read the description of the item you are bidding on.

    For Sale: Box which once contained 24 bottles of Carlton Cold. Box barely used. Be the envy of all your beer-drinking buddies. Box is in excellent condition, with only a few scratches gained during transfer from Dan Murphy's to car boot. Currently stored safely on kitchen floor near the fridge. Will sell NOW for $120! Bargain! (Beer not included, postage extra)

    What amazes me is the fact that people are bidding, and at that price :eek::confused::confused:
    Hope they have read the description!!

    Ships to United States. When I checked, there were 5 bidders and up to US$136. I'm ashamed of my countrymen. Those 5 are the real "Ugly Americans." (Okay, maybe only one of them).

    Unbelievable. :eek:
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Most tempting, Driver, but with agonizing reluctance, I'll likely pass on this one.

    I didn't note the deadline on that turkey, but as of 455am Sun. forum time (155PM Sat. here), it's AWOL. Either they came to their senses, or it was a hoax to begin with. [Google cache of 24Nov gave it 4d remaining.]
