(Don't drink the) Kool-Aid Packet

Here is an auction for a Kool-Aid Packet on ebay. It's had almost 20,000 views so far, and is at the top of the ebay pulse chart. What's so special about a packet of Kool-Aid? Well, nothing really, other than a large number of the 913 people found dead at the 'Jonestown massacre' were found to have drunk Kool-Aid laced with poison. Or did they? According to Wikipedia those at Jonestown actually drank a brew of Flavor Aid, a lesser known brand. Kool-Aid was just a better known brand at the time, unfortunately for them, as the name "Kool-Aid drinker' has become a term for crackpots and kooks.

Don't drink the Kool-Aid! But if you want to here the link. :)

*Edit: Sold for $2,025.01 after 54 bids

200 Year Old Comics

Here is another absolutely huge comic book auction. It's an auction of many complete runs and full sets of titles. The likes of this you probably won't see again! The downside is that you will need a small fortune to even enter the auction as it has had an incredible 138 bids already, reaching $110,100. I'd wager that it will go much, much higher as even one Donald Duck comic went for sold for $4049.00 recently .

Almost everything is in here from the usual suspects like Batman and Superman, to lesser known characters like Plastic man and Marvel Boy. Some of them are very old specimens while others have had famous owners (Bob Kane, Stan Lee, Jerry Siegel).

The seller of the comics obviously knows their stuff; there is so much detailed information in the auction listing that it can only be a labour of love.

At the time of writing this post the end of bidding is still over 3 days away, so watch this space.
*Edit: 148 bids and upto $150,000 now

What a ROTTEN auction!

Actually it's not a rotten auction at all but another huge one. Rotten.com get a lot of traffic every day and I'm sure this domain will get a fair bit too. Rody192 is selling this gem and there are already 12 bids up to $2000.

If you fancy putting in a bid here is the link.

Darn, Drat, and Rats..err..Rat (mummified)!

Why oh why oh why....? Yes the title says it all. One dead rat is up for auction on eBay.
Who wouldn't want one of these? Such an item is sure to gain in value over time and become a treasured family heirloom......NOT! :D
UK bidders only for this one. Norwich is where the recently deceased rodent hails from.


Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!

THIS IS AN EX-RAT!

For all you dirty rats out there bid here.

Comic Book Quackers!

Sorry for the awful pun, but really you would have to be crackers to pay this much for a comic!


I love comics, not so fond of Donald Duck though; more of an Spiderman, Batman, 2000ad kind of guy. Bidding for this one has reached $3,450 and the reserve still hasn't been met! Comic collectors must be crazier than domain name collectors!

The going rate for these things apparently is nearer $5000-$6,500 so snap up a bargain here.

*Edit: went for $4049.00
