Default We hit the jackpot...we're all rich

We've been doing this all wrong guys.
Out in the tractor shed, ops, I meant the "Family vault", I have lots of old parts, I mean "valuable art".
Who knew that our "junk", dang it, I mean our "fine collectables" were in such high demand and high value.
I'm heading out to the junkyard yard, shucks, I meant the "art house" this week-end and get millions in "De art desur"
Someone brought up the question "What are they smoking on E-bay?"
I think the question has been answered, something strong, extremely harmful and rots the brain quickly.
Think I will cash in a rusty bucket of bolts and head to Hawaii for a month or so.

Just think, you too could have an old tire and rim in your yard for a mear $2500, and heck, shipping is free...what a deal!

Your neighbors will be SO impressed

Maybe not so much of a typo, I bet he meant $250 , not $25 which is way overpriced at that ..

Going on his other item , another scrap wheel at only $199.99 ..what a bargain.

Gentlemen - PLEASE - control yourselves. Hold in your wit and sarcasm. I am sure that if you were to know, as the seller most certainly does, that his wheel and tire . . . . are a 'One of a Kind' antique, you would not be so rambunctious with your comments.

And besides, he has, like many art / antique auctioneers do, increased the price an additional 20% over actual value, to allow the buyer the joy of 'beating him down' 20%.

At least when you buy it from ebay you don't get scammed by a "buyer's premium", which of course is a buyer's penalty.

If it were a whitewall, it might be worth it.
