Why did the Ebay police cancel it the first time?

I think it has to do with selling mystery boxes or some crap like that.

can you x-ray the package please,,, your killing me!!!!!

It got pulled because I stated "100% of proceeds to go to support the site" when vintagebmx.com is not an authorized ebay charity.

If I bid on the cake pan....does that money go to the V as well?

How much would you take to end the auction early?

LMK.


LOL!

Beware potential bidders: That style envelope was NOT available until 1990!

The color pitcured in the auction is called "Happy Cloud". It replaced "London Fog" in 1990, which replaced the 1st Gen "Popcorn" in 1985. Additionally, Happy Cloud contains 10.6% pulp, 3.9% insect parts, and comes from Canadian timber. The 1st Gen Popcorn had no pulp, .2% insect parts, and is a product of Egyptian lumber.

I've e-mailed the seller and included .jpgs of all three generations of colors. I have yet to hear back from him, but I will post his remarks for the world to laugh at as soon as I receive them.

Let's band together and flood this dudes Inbox with threats to drive to his state and beat him up!

This crap is ruining the hobby! How do I add that seller to my Ebay blocked bidder list?

Are you serious! Why in the world would Greg and I "try" to fraud anyone? I repeat, why would I try to fraud anyone? Amazing! you try to do a good thing for three guys who work their tail off for all of us and this. Amazing! I hope you are joking Luke Warm.

Joe Baumert

P.S. I guess in 1990 I concocted the idea of some how frauding someone out of money with this envelope and my master plan was to do this "unsuspectingly" in 2006. Some how I knew or dreampt there would be a forum of this type in this day and age and I waited patientinly to try to sell this when the time was right. Come on!

And thank you for relisting it Rick.

Joe Baumert

Joe, Keep_It_Warm was poking fun at obsessive collectors. His post was a joke.

Jokes on me! Sorry "Keepin it Very Warm!"

Joe Baumert

Rumor has it that it contains a pair of Skip Hess's socks.

Maybe it’s old blueprints for the rare and mysterious Mongoose Monoshock????

I just saw this thread. I thought I killed it earlier this week with my "Obsessive Collector" attempt at humor.

Yes, Joe, it was an attempt at humor. Nothing more. As a matter of fact, I have already bid on the item in question.

I was just trying to create a 'Best of the Best' of all the types of things everyone seems to b!tch about and over-react to. Looks like I fooled you, though!
