Anyone Got $100mill They Don't Know What To Do With?

I'm probably getting a little jaundiced about scammers on ebay because they are more and more becoming the rule, not the exception. However, this guy seems to have forgotten the first rule of scamming, which is that you are appealing to people's greed and their belief that they can sometimes actually get something for nothing. $95 million is the gross national product of some countries. Individuals who have that sort of coin to throw around are a little too sophisticated to fall for this sort of con game. They might actually want to see more than a blurry scan of a toy with lights before they decide to opt in.

My guess is that this seller will just have to keep on separating the H or the H2 from H2O by himself for a while. Unless he has just recently won the Nobel Prize in quantum mechanics, I don't think that his ad will do much to help him separate the FOOL (chemically speaking, I guess that would be FO2L) from his $. What a dunce.
