I would bid $10,000 to strip it of copper

It would make a great super villain lair.

But what are the shipping charges?

Hilarballs. Was anyone able to get a screen shot before Ebay took it down?

...your name is quite appropriate in this case.

Some one should tell him that he could gain just a little bit of legitimacy if he used the term "starboard hull" instead of "right-hand hull".

The problem is when you buy the ship you also get all the liability for when it farks up the marine preserve (the oil isn't leaking yet, but other chemicals on the ship are leaking. You're going to want to get those Exxon lawyers on retainer as well.

I'd bid $1,000,000 just for the fuel it still has on board.

I shall offer a pittance, compliment its interesting nature but belittle its market value, bemoan my own tendency to buy things of questionable value with such reckless abandon, and stall you by offering to contact an associate more familiar with this field in order to come back with a claim of an professional opinion corroborating my assessment of its low value.

Okay I would buy it under "trailer park rules," which means I get to strip it of copper in the middle of the night, sell the copper at a salvage yard and then go on the meth binge of a lifetime, liabilities mean nothing to a meth addict.

Pretty pricey right now, but just wait and it'll probably go down.

For sale ... buyer must pick up at own expense.

If you buy it it will be a titanic mistake.

Another saucy Aussie who suffers from the ravages of Vegemite on the brain.

It will be very difficult to flip it.

FOR SALE!!!!!

Slightly used. Sadly leads to Brooklyn. But can also be used to get away from Brooklyn!

FTA: "EBay does not permit listings that attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering," the spokesperson said.

In other news, EBay to pull all iPhones from site.

Nonsense, it's halfway flipped already.

does it come with, or without the chunk of rock sticking out the sideof the hull? that might be a deal breaker...

your average maint. man: does it come with, or without the chunk of rock sticking out the sideof the hull? that might be a deal breaker...

That will buff right out...

Never understood why those people don't just use Ebay for themselves. (I sell stuff for people on ebay, so I always yell at the TV "CALL ME!!!")
However, the guy is right. He's not a collector, he doesn't pay retail because he IS retail.
Stumps me when the seller is given an appraisal of $1,000.00 and they looked perplexed when he offers $500. Dude has his markup just like any other retail joint.

Yeah the only reason Id go to a pawn shop is if I was very desperate and needed the money that day.

Reminds me of the guy trying to sell the World Trade Center on ebay on Sep. 12th, some assembly required...

Let me guess. "As is, where is", right?

Or if you have no idea of what you have got, or you can't be bothered to deal with the shiat.

Nobody can make a watchable show about eBay. Reality shows are pretty fake. I mean, maybe for the first MONTH, people were actually ordinary bail jumpers. I'm not saying there was collusion of the producers to ask people skip bail. But pretty soon, you know everyone's like "Hey braugh, if you get arrested, go to Da kine Bail Bonds, skip, and wait for Dog to show up! You'll get on TV, you'll be a celebrity in the 'hood, and he'll put in a good word for you with the judge, might even go better than just showing up on schedule like everyone else."

Like, come on. Once that show took off, once you skip bail in Hawaii, you KNOW Dog and the TV cameras are gonna show up soon, and you're the star.

Same thing here. People go there to pawn stuff on the show and get ripped off. A strange, Idiocracy-style relationship, but there it is.

yikes...

/too soon?

E-Bay does not take items that involve human tragedy or suffering? Then how the hell did I get these damn golf clubs???

scottydoesntknow:

Or you just wanna get on TV. Why sell it to the local 24hr cash-gold-pawn store when you can get on PAWN STARS!

If I had some trinket that I could sell off and it was an excuse to get on TV? Yup I would do that. It would work into my new pickup line.

"Hey babe, you might recognize me I was on Pawn Stars"

*response*

"Go FARK yourself, I'm not Chumlee!"

Little Bondo, some duct tape and paint, she'll be right, mate!

I know I can get a carfax for a car but is there one for a ship? Also what's financing like for an item like this? What kind of insurance do I need?

Term life insurance would be a start.
