They are Canadians... okay, that explains it.
And yet, no one wanted to buy my polished P5 wheels with factory Dunlop rubber a week ago. There were like 15 bids on it, but it got no where close to my reserve of three bills. Funny thing is, three people e-mailed me afterwards to ask how much I wanted for them. And, I had to say "Dude.. you should have bid on 'em if you wanted 'em!". Now, they are spoken for. A friend wants them for a MX-6.
Anyhow, weirder yet was that grilled cheese sandwich that sold over e-bay, with the image of Jesus allegedly appearing on it. That grilled cheese sandwich brought home some bacon to somebody. And then there was that guy who was selling water by the teaspoon, claiming that it came out of a glass that Elvis drank from during a concert in 1977. As if somebody said, "...looks like he is going to die soon. We had better save this glass of water... it could make us rich someday". Crazy.

..... Then the same guy who sold the Elvis water put up an auction to display the foam cup Elvis drank out of. I was watching it for a while, but lost track, so I never found out how much it went for. The winning bidder ONLY bought the right to display the cup for a few days, and he had to buy the guy who owned the cup round trip plane tickets and hotel accomodations, so he could be with the cup at all times. Some people are freaks.
