Default Funniest thing on eBay

No, this is not a GTP going for $10,000. This stupid auction is for a mystery surprise. You dont know what you are bidding on. If you bi $1,000,000 you get a prize valued at $100,000. How crazy / stupid / dumb do some people need to be.

I was just sussing it out. I think they could be onto something. They arent going to loose any money, but will be making lots (if they stick by there rules), and all the bidders will make money as well, except for the last bidder, depending on what is in the box (currently $2.7M is bid). It is very well thought out, and I will give credit to ever thought this up. Wow.
