Default eBay Deal of the Day

Check it.

The seller has 0 feedback/transactions. The work is their own. The one bidder has 0 feedback/transactions. The first "bid" is for 8,000,000.

The description alone is worth the price of admission...

Quote:
No,You didnt mistake the Prize is Eight Millions Americans Dollars for now,it will rise every year because time is Precious.

This paint is really more that you can think,It was created for a very special purpose many will say I am crazy because the price of it but the truth is that in this world every single thing has a meaning big or little .I am very aware of what I am doing if someday a buyer appears to buy this paint He or She will have the right to ask me any question about it ,if posible He,She will have to tell me why the paint is being bought .
Yeah, you're right, time is precious, and your chump-ass painting of a flamingo that looks like it belongs in a Tampa-area Motel 6 along with a fake-gold frame and the pink walls, is surely worth 8 mil. At least there's free shipping!

damn, where's my checkbook...

well, shipping is free, and you get 100 bucks worth of shipping insurance on an 8 million dollar painting!

unless this person was drinking absinthe while painting, I'd say they need some work on perspective and use of light.

That bidder's an idiot...everyone knows you have to snipe to get a good deal on eBay

More seriously, it appears he has 34 previous feedbacks, all positive. WTF is he doing bidding on this?

Holy hell. I am loving this:

Quote:

Well, it’s funny you know it suppose in this paragraph, I have to describe what I’m selling the problem is that I cannot do that, that will be revealed only after someone buy this Film, don’t think I’m someone with mental problems because I’m not, it’s just that sometimes there are things that really need to be done. Things that most of the time, almost everyone don’t see at first sight and that’s really sad, if the world keep moving the way is doing right now, this world just will keep falling deep and more deep everyday and to tell you the truth I don’t want that and I’m sure that there is more people that think the same way I do, but for now I’m fighting alone, again what? Well the selfishness, greediness. Family is the most important thing in this life and is good if you realize of this before it’s late. If someone buys this film believe me that he or she will be doing more that what it seems and everything will be totally revealed.
There's not much "thinking" to be done. I know you have mental problems, chief.

Most likely a shill bid.
