Hi,
You'd be surprised at some of the crap people actually buy.
For example, a friend of mine just spent a stack of money buying "oxygen-free" audio cables. I told him it's all wank and bullshit, but, like so many others, he is totally ignorant of such things and he sees the big price tag and fancy advertising blurb and he's sucked in all the way.
I bought an Intel MDS-IV microprocessor development system a few months ago for $650 and in the documentation was the original sales docket. When new, back in 1984, this system was bought for $46,400. Now, that's what I call depreciation!
Nothing depreciates as quick as old computer systems, Hyundais or Magnas. A good classic Toyota on the other hand, goes up. My car is worth $4k more than when I bought it - each year I gotta get it evalued and adjust the insurance.
Oops, I've gone off topic here. Sorry about that. However, sometimes it is amusing to scan through eBay and see the sort of shit people sell. Still, there are buyers out there that like and want this crap. I make it a point to never buy anything where the seller puts in "WOW" in the text of whatever they are selling. WOW = major phuckhead seller - avoid at all costs.
A few weeks ago a guy in the states was selling some Celica bits. One of them was the window winder handle. The text was something like "WOW. Classic Celica winder. 2nd Hand. Connects to the door and helps make the window go up and down."
My thoughts were - "Thanks mate, you dickhead!"
