He thought he *was* getting out of it cheap when I told him I wanted a Rolex instead of a diamond.....

HA!

Idiot. hammer.sml

looks like he re-listed. Mr.Stupid.
Glassolalia
To late - my charge already went through!!!
DrinkSlinger
I wonder if someone tried to pay for the watch using his credit card...
Bumpferret
I've seen everything.

And, "AND IT IS SO CLASSY. IT HAS GOLD MARKERS ."
It would be nice if it were authentic too.
Bumpferret
Maybe I'm wrong.

But, "It comes with its Original Rolex Big Wooden Box."

Where do I sign?

Call me a cheap bastard!------CHEAP BASTARD!

I can't see spending that much money on a watch ---even if I thought it was legit! basher.gif

Unfortunately for me,
my wife can.

For some reason, I decided
to keep some empties.

So, I corralled 26 of them into a
garbage bag and thought,
"what would I get for these on
e-Bay?"

Does anyone actually
buy empty absinthe bottles?
I know they're listed, but is
anyone buying?

I've seen empty bottles for sale. Usually overhyped and overpriced. I guess it all depends on what the buyer is willing to pay.
I'm sure +-$10/bottle is probably a "fair" amount. at least IMO
musicgeek
Put them up for $5.00 each and see what happens. As long as you don't misrepresent them (empty, not vintage) then I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it. If someone is stupid enough to buy them (probably to impress their friends), then it's on them. I have seen them sell...not for much, but more than you'd get from dumping them in the trash.

But is it worth dealing with assholes, then packing it up and shipping it off for $5.00 a piece?

Kinda like sending out samples.
musicgeek
With 26 bottles, it could be worth it. You never know. Some might go for more than the $5.00 starting bid. Also, you can add shipping and material costs to the final price. You could also sell them off in lots (say, 5 per lot) for a higher price. I've considered doing it myself. If it gets you enough for a bottle of Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe, then I'd say it would be worthwhile.

After all, I deal with assholes here for free every day.
Bumpferret
I'd feel like a xit so I can't
do it.

Mebe.
Absinthe_1900
Keep in mind some empties can be interesting.
musicgeek
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Absomphe
I bid $1.25!!!!!!!! biere.gif
emi
if i had money to blow on an expensive watch, i'd buy one of these!
TrainerAZ
You people have too much time on yer hands.
musicgeek
We're here aren't we?
Grey Boy
I hope the wifey sees that and likes it.
Much cheaper than the Rolex she wants.

Bater,
Maybe in your size.
And for mens.
Bumpferret
A Rolex is like UE.

Grate watch, one of the best, and
I highly recommend buying one.
If you're into that sort of thang,
do it.
