Why do some people embarrass themselves?

Go read 'bay 300612570611 - I was cracking up, not just about the typos...

Rather sad really. That guy seems to be a Hollywood casualty of almost classic proportions - probably even talented (apart from a tendency to dyslexia), but gone to waste (and a life as a lifeguard and amateur filmmaker) as a celebrity brat...

Sad indeed Sevo!

I don't get it.

what's the joke?

[David R Munson]

What I don't get is why people don't still just post an actual URL, instead of an auction number. Or, for that matter, why people still refer to "that auction site." It's eBay. Everyone knows it's eBay. What gives?

because a lot of site do not want you to post links to live auctions.

True. But this site allows it in, it seems, all sections, if that's the right word, but FS/WTB.

That said, cutting and pasting an auction # isn't a great burden.

Sylvain Halgand's site http://www.collection-appareils.fr/phpBB3/index.php has a section Perles d'Ebay dedicated to bizarre listings there. His rule is that posters should post a screen shot rather than a link or auction number. This because the auctions are ephemeral and the hilarity should not die with them.
