My silly grab bag auction idea ~ what would you add?
- Thread starter adoptastray
- Start date
WAIT YET AGAIN!! With the sixth bid I will add
A very holy piece of toast
As you can so obviously see, this piece of toast miraculously has a distinct image of St. Grillardus patron saint of toast. This is NOT to be eaten, it is for serious collectors, conisewers.
WAIT AGAIN!! For a seventh bid I will include
The christmas lights I took down
I don't want to be bothered with storing them.

Much like this listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Legacy-Le...ryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
O.M.G. Well - I guess now I've seen it all.
I will say this ... the guinea pig has nice taste. I rather like the lining of that bag.
...and as an added bonus to the bag for my loyal ebay customers, i offer you:
a 4 inch diameter lint ball in rare, htf emerald green (100% polyester -- only the best for my loyal customers). let me tell you, this is no ordinary lint ball. upon news of brett favre's (2nd) retirement, my dh faithfully wore the same brett favre football jersey for three weeks straight. now you can have the lint ball that was lovingly nurtured, grown and pulled out personally by me with my favorite plastic fork. this lint ball is ready for a new home where it can be loved like the treasure it is.
now, you may think this package must become yours. before you submit a best offer for 1% of the bin price, let me tell you what else i've included:
in honor of the new president barack *****, i wore this bag to the inauguration and all its 100 balls! it was a monumental effort to stuff it, what with the christmas lights, the holy toast, the lint ball and the last living rescued rabid ferrett. but be assured, all bonus items fit snug as a bug.
thank my lucky stars for dh's heft and priceless talent to balance his snuggable half ton of cheesehead love on your "like new" and "gently worn" bag.
i provide provenance of the historic value of this bag (because goodness knows this bag is both heirloom quality as well as a solid investment during these difficult times -- in fact, read my seller fineprint -- below where i say that i am not responsible for items lost or damaged in the mail, i wrote that i guarantee this bag is so priceless that it will fund your children's grandchildren's college education to the best vocational school in the third world country of his/her choice).
as for the provenance that the bag was indeed worn at the inauguration, i snapped one picture of me and the dh holding the bag while wearing his packers jersey for the last time (oh bless his tears that poured, luckily into the bag, when i scraped the jersey off of him). he literally does bleed green and gold. i posted the single pic that was snapped using my trusty antique polariod camera which i am selling in another auction -- see my other items! i will combine ship, ask me for a quote!
if you squint at the picture, you can see ***** smiling at me! in fact, michelle had secret service pull me aside and she asked me where-did-i-get-that-bag. michelle offered to trade her jimmy choos for it and pleaded "please, do it for your country". i said "sorry michelle, my loyal ebay customers have dibs on this one-of-a-kind bag."
so friends, here's your chance to be a part of history. buy it now and i'll offer free shipping only if you promise to ding my stars!

Oh- I gotta have that lint ball! Can DH add to it to make it bigger until I win the auction??? I collect lint balls! The bigger and nastier, the better!
Do you have the lint ball in purple? I've been looking for a purple one ever since they sold out at the Saks 70% off sale. I'm on a quest for a purple lint ball!
As an extra special thank you bonus- I will include a Kool-Aid Jammers make-up pouch filled with make-up. I was cleaning out my make-up bin and discovered some lightly used (really you can't even tell and don't mind the cakey-ness) eyeshadows, pressed powder compact w/ broken mirrior - I'm not responsible for your luck- and some mascara that I think is still good, I just can't get the bottle open. Hint: I would use needle-nose pliers once you get this. It should open then. I would try but I wouldn't want to dent the bottle....LOL!
Does the mascara come with pink eye? That would add a little something special.
Wow - this made me cry:
You're bidding on a new, never used Coach Legacy "Leigh" purse/handbag. Retails at $658.00 and comes from a non-smoking home. Again, never used, but doesn't have the tags. It's beautiful black leather in perfect condition and comes with the dust cover bag. The only thing wrong with this bag is in the lining. My 8 year-old decided to let her Guinea pig roam the house one night and the pig thought it would be nice to line her cage with a striped Coach fabric. This can be easily fixed as the striped material is fairly common at one of the larger fabric stores, such as JoAnn Fabrics. The pictures depict the chewed area. It really is a small chewed area, but the camera makes it look bigger than it is. If you could see it in person, you'd see that it's simply not very big at all, bordering on minute. In fact, you could probably simply place a piece of Scotch tape and you'd never notices, although I wouldn't recommend Scotch tape and Coach being used in the same sentences, much less used as repair mechanism. My point is the chewed area is very small. The dimensions of the bag are 14 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" tall by 5 1/2" deep. The handle is a total of 16" long but is just that, a handle. It's not a strap for the shoulder. As evidenced by our 100% feedback we sell only high quality products and we ship lightning fast. We pack our boxes very, very well and we insure those items that require it. We communicate with you at every stage of the process. We keep you informed every step. You get exactly what you expect you'll be getting. No surprises when you open our boxes. None whatsoever. So you can bid with confidence and you can bid often!! Thanks again for browsing and be sure to check out our other auctions. We have a Brahmin bag up for auction as well, and a Bose Lifestyle 28 Home Theater System and a Mac iBook laptop. Good luck and happy bidding!

I'm not sure- but if that's what you want I sure hope it does for you. Remember I can't open it- it's stuck! Use those needle nose pliers and dazzle your eyelashes with it and hopefully you will get the extra satisfactory results of lovely conjunctivitis (commonly known as Pink eye).
(Back to seller voice)
I've just uploaded a new picture. DH in all his glory before he donned the beloved jersey.
OMG you guys have no idea! We live in Milwaukee, WI and DH is from Door County, WI which is just north east of Green Bay. Packer mania is pure insanity. Season Tickets have been sold out since the 1960's and there is like a 35 year wait list for tickets. I've had the pleasure of going to many a fantastic Packer game and let me tell you...there are some real characters. Last January we paid $600 per ticket to stand knee deep in snow for a playoff game and the stadium was packed.
I've seen a lot of silly things on eBay but I guarantee if you sold a peice of belly buttom link from Aaron Rodgers (our "new" Brett Favre) with a certificate of authenticity you'd get a pretty penny for it!
Just a side note, I do not own a cheesehead hat. For those of you unfamiliar with the cheesehead see attached link. http://www.packersproshop.com/products/hats_caps/novelty/sku_504b4e2183e31774/2839fa6507b1d7e8/
I'd like to add this for the next bid
100% authentic CheeseNips?
cheesenips LOL
that would be ugly on a 19 year old body....
Personally I thought the farmers tan was a classy touch. The hints of white really bring out the color of the cheese.
