Wedding dress for sale on ebay

“Lex who???


He looks like a biker with hairy, tattooed arms.”

“And a big white spot in the center of his face!”

“who the heck would pay $25,000 for a used $2000 wedding dress? LOL! even if it is funny.

man, i have gotta get in on this ebay action. i'm sure i could think up good stories for some pieces of crap i have laying around.
;-)”

“lyra - Talk to Dub. He sells his crap on eBay all the time. ;-)”

“yeah, Tarpy buys and sells crap on there all the time too. he even buys stuff if he can get it for a low price, just so he can sell it for more later on!”

“eBay is the bomb! I sell everything from old clothes to beer cans on eBay! All you need is a place to store pictures for linking and some basic HTML skills and you're ready to eBay.”

“Over 3.7 million views with 5 hours left. He's gonna break the internet!”

“Up to $15,000 now...lol...”

“Might the ex be able to get in on the action?”

“I can see it now. The guy gets $25,000 for the dress and a bill from Ebay for $50,000 for crashing their server.”

“Weren't his fault...”

“it's down to $15,000. I am sure he screened them pretty well (he changed his policy)

anyway, think...if he really would've sold the dress for $333,333...don't ya think the ex would be right there with a law suite??”

“Probably...depending on how the divorce decree was worded, she may have no standing to sue though.

Hell, what am I saying? This is America, she'll sue!”

“come on now bit...you should know better....loop holes, you call em loop holes. She'll sue!!

let me see what I can now sell on ebay. got to think of a good story too though..hmm...I am still married... so that ain't going to work. you think my husband would mind??”

“Go for it Gemini. Reality dosen't enter into it. I don't think his story is any more real than Dub's bear can stories but some people will buy anything.”

“If this guy was on the Today Show, it's possible that the buyer, whoever it is, will want a bit of the limelight too. They are probably looking at this whole thing seeing who will buy it so they can ask, "What persuaded you to buy this dress for that amount of money?"”

“I got a pair of an old boyfriends socks from high school...his name was Mike Ruffalo...there is an actor whose name is Mark Ruffalo..suppose I could get away with a typo?”

“If I had $15,000 o blow on getting into the limelight I would prefer to beknown as the person that gave $15,000 to a charity, not the idiot that.......”

“Are you going to wash the socks first? Would that raise or lower the value?”

“They'd probably fall apart...they are 24 years old!!”

“Not old, vintage.”

“yeah, but then they could've made the auction private right??

anyway, he got about 10 minutes of air time later on the show. Didn't say as much. I guess he was nervous because he sure didn't sound too funny to me. He's looking for a writing job. Is a computer nerd right now.

at the time the spoke the auction was past $300,000. But he only acknowledged $17,000.”

“A computer nerd???

He looks like a chunky boy biker!”

“You want me to bid on that dress for you, MarkO? It can be a present for Tom Terrific.”

“Wow is that price for real! 1,520.00 This story is really unwinding with an interesting twist.”

“horseplaypublishing@hotmail.com
now you can email him and he even has a url for a future site...funny how this could be something big for him!”

“Thanks Scorchie!

Maybe my other self and I can become as one.”

“you got to be phuckn kiddn me. now he will have his own website soon:

hmm, it's not going to keep going like this. He's isn't william hung. After the auction is over...well it's over!! just like his marriage!!

MarkO...and he's a biker too.”

“well,,, you never know it may pay off for the guy”

“Woooooooohoooooo! What a wild ride! The emails are coming faster than the hits. And now personal appearances. First Star94 radio in Atlanta, then King5 in Seattle,now the Today Show with that I-used-to-be-a-fat-weatherman-but-now-I-am-as-skinny-as-Regis-but-twice-as-funny Al "I will turn this car around" Roker.

“I've never seen aution bids retract like they are on this one”

“i wouldn't screw with my perfect ebay score because a dress...I don't get it. Some of them really looked like serious bidders. the left overs don't look like they are serious.

Really curious on how much it will go and if they hightest bidder will pay.”

“He just lost another 3K in the last 5 minutes of bidding....”

“saw it. I guess he maybe getting the wedding ring $$ back... who knows!!
