It is scary to realize that there are so many idiots in the world.
But look at what is going on around you and you realize that there are so many

Exactly.

The people who buy that crap are delusional collectors and scammers (who flip them as originals).

The sad thing about it is that the idiots are looking for bigger idiots on the resale end.

Kind of like the sellers id too....


Sorry! pleaseonemoretry1111 has declined your offer.
Your offer of $1.00 was declined.
You still have time to make another offer.
You can also buy it now.

Thankfully. Without idiots doing stupid stuff I wouldn't have a plaintiff's practice or anyone to make fun of for reasons other than looks.

Fortunately, no one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of Americans.

The market's really small for Carolina Brights Wagners these days

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-T206-CA...sAAOSwP~tW4z~a

However, Polar Bear '206 Wagners seem to be on the rise!!

I'm gonna buy him out then hire an 80 year old man to sell them at a flea market with the "These were my dad's and they've been in the attic for years and I have no idea what they are worth so I will take $50 each for them" spiel.
