You'd be surprised. Ever hear of the pet rock?

 

I’m

not only did they have the pet rock, but they had all kinds of accessories to go with it. As I remember, they had a bed for your pet rock, covers the pull over it, And they even had a pillow for your pet rock. Raincoats all types of other things. I never had a pet rock and I never spent money on any of that stuff. Did I miss out on something? Lol

 

I have a lot of pet rocks...in my yard. Didn't cost me a dime.

I have a table full of coins like this on my back porch from Metal Detecting. Now, I guess that I'm richer than I thought.

 

These are the ridiculous kind of eBay listings that I wish I could create a fake eBay account so that I can purchase the item but never pay for it!

 

I seriously wonder how much of this sort of stuff is actually money-laundering. Paying 15% or so vig to move money from a compromised source to a clean one just might make sense sometimes.

 

It's hilarious to me what people are willing to list for sale numismatically. On one site recently I saw somebody list a common IHC with a grid of scratches on it and it was warn. Not even a semi key. $3.00. Called it a filler. Because there's sombody out there that would take that over saving up the $20 for a decent one? I would cash it at the bank. I have nothing against well worn examples but when they have horrible damage on top of it, why bother?

 

Even "Asphalt Lincoln's" have a place in my collection . . . . .

Hey, don't knock pet rocks! I've still got my original pet rock in its original little box with the excelsior. It was a gag gift from my mother. As a high school teacher of, among other things, economics, it was a great visual aid when we studied how demand affects prices and how demand can be manipulated by fads.

Poor thing, the rock only gets let out once in a great while for photo ops like this one.

I always liked the cover on that Econ book. Unfortunately, all those coins are ONLY pictures on the book cover.

 

Money laundering or items to buy with stolen credit cards?

Have you heard of a zipper rocks?

 

HA! I've got one better than that! Anyone want to make in offer?

 

Says ruined penny! I think Ebay would say as described. Same with PayPal. It leads more to the de evolution of society. Can't remove idiocy, until you remove the idiots.

 

Common thats Hammered!

 

I got a pretty beat up quarter in change today.
It's ruff but still resembles a quarter so it's worth a quarter.

 

It's owner is hammered, that cent is whizzed . . . .
