And to think that I just dispose of my cans when I could be selling them for $49 each! :sold:

If I sold about 20,000 of these empty cans, I could be a millionaire! :hehe:

The can sold for $76

If you are paying $255 for an In-N-Out bag, you might as well fly down to Cali and ACTUALLY eat at In-N-Out.

I'd like to give a go on one of those 27x27's!

Hey, there used to be a place in Rochester, NY that featured a "Garbage Plate" special that I loved.. they'd literally heap the plate with beans, home fries, onions, and and chili sauce and top it with your choice of cheese burger, hot dogs or whatever.. yumm! Makes me homesick at times!

IN-N-Out is awesome. They can make your hamburger anyway you want it. Plus its made after you order it. Unlike burgers that has been made early in the morning & its been sitting in the heat lamp for hours. Yuck!.

I used to go to a place in New York called Vic & Irv's down near the lake.. they served a Ground Round that was (at the time) expensive at $3.95 but man, it was worth every penny! Nothing beats a burger made from scratch and cooked to order..

There have been many auctions that sold on the basis of clever. There was a guy who was bored at work and wrote this great auction ad about how he was auctioning off a company pen (chewed end and all) - but his boredom was so relatable that people bid.

Then there was the guy who got his well-built bikini clad girlfriend to hold the simple objects he was selling. He raked in big sales as well.

The question is, with many of these quirky auctions, how many of them actually end up with the seller getting paid?

In-N-Out is soooo good. If you've never had it, it should be on your to-do list if you find yourself in California or Vegas. But paying $255 just to smell it is slightly over priced.

Looks like there is a whole bunch of money making scams going on at ebay like this one. Look at his other items, they are all "Learn how this loser makes $1000 a day on ebay" kits.

They all look like pyramid schemes or money making chain letters or gifting clubs. ebay should shut them down eventually as they are illegal to run or participate in.

Update: Can't believe I kept looking for this, but here's an answer. They are called "mystery auctions". Here's a link to a good article explaining the idea. The seller is selling you a "mystery box" filled with surprises. Cheap thrills I guess. As one quote in the article says about a buyer anxiously opening the mystery box "7 out of 10 times you want to cry".

FYI: I searched google on the phrase I saw a few times in different auctions: "Anything that comes with it is a gift from me to you!"

Wow...unbelievable!

I'm gonna go find some junk to sell. :hehe:

I lived in Cali(San Jose) for 6 months and In n' Out was one of my daily nutritions!!! :-)

The only one thing topping that was "Jack in the Box"....unfortunately, the nearest one to me is South Carolina......

But when it comes to smell...i might consider selling my socks on ebay...since i live of on fast food, they might addapt that smell.....lol....

ANYONE wants to buy them????? :lol: :bah: :eek: :hi: :hehe:

I know over at digitalpoint sometime early last year a guy needed $40 and so he sold a broken writing pen. So I am not surprised. Funny story though.
