1. I do think that one’s an object lesson in how not to list something on eBay. Where are the pix and the bona fides?

2. The problem I’d have with this is that if this particular spot is being vacated what is to prevent her body from being moved in the future as well? And you only get 45 days to file a SNAD complaint.

3. Wow! Sold for $4.6million

4. I bet it was one of wacko jackos relatives who bought it. what aload of absolute drivel.

5. #4 Seeing as the crypt was already occupied I wonder how much someone will pay to get the $4.6m recipient moved in the future?

6. #5 pass Chris. lots of dumb folk in the world with to much money and no common sense.

7. Well it looks like the top bidder hasn’t got the money

8. Ink’s got a post about this

9. I think ebay should bring in a “not worth the hassle you cause” rule and ban sellers of these trouble attracting listings.

   but thats just me.

10. #9 – That’ll be why you’re not running eBay then. I imagine the FVF on $4,500,000 is definitely worth the hassle / gamble to them.

11. The FVF will be exactly $0.00

    the seller will issue a strike and the FVF will be refunded.

    Does that make me in charge now?

12. #11 Not if one of the 11 people offering more than $4.5m accept, no.

13. you cant eat an if.

    my guess is they will have to go a long way down the bidder list to find someone that is willing to pay, if they find anyone at all, which in these types of “stunt” auctions is pretty unlikely.

14. Seeing how this is what happens in almost every single high profile listing on eBay I find it odd that they made a whole blog entry about these auctions, going so far as mentioning they’ve banned the bidders for life. I thought all eBay buyers were given a second chance to be redeemed? Or is it only when you make a public mockery of the system that you get banned?

    From the February Ask Griff thread:

    We won’t remove the ability for a first strike UPI buyer to file an appeal and we won’t remove our option for granting that appeal. And not all buyers who have a first UPI strike go on to rack up subsequent UPIs. Many are redeemed. We simply cannot out of fairness to them (and to you by the way. A redeemed buyer is a potential good loyal
    customer).

15. See, I said it was drivel 😛

16. awwww… 🙄
