LMAO!
Oh boy - time to call Mulder and Scully. I'm hearing the X-Files theme.....
How many of you read the description of that ebay listing?
If you didn't, in short, there were originally 2 jars, one broke, a black "thing" escaped and now the black thing stays with the unbroken jar (which also has a black thing inside it).
Well, here is a different guy selling the equipment to capture the black thing and put it back in a jar!

Sheesh. I should make a necklace out of chicken bones and call it the "Necklace of Souls." Maybe someone who is into voodoo tarot card stuff would buy it.
omg that is so funny.. u would think that if it was legtimate and I'm using this term loosely then he/she would be more wise to give it to some university or other agency to have it tested to find out exactly what it is lol
ooooo, we had chicken for dinner tonight
Current bid: US $1,814.00 (reserve met)

Least they could have done was to clean the food out of the bottom of the bowl before they propped the bottle on it for a pic
now the price is $1989.00 - I can't believe someone is that gullible

Maybe this odorless perfume makes the women's eyes water so much we look like firefighters, and get attracted because of that...
Also kinda wierd how they have been in the pheromone business for 23 years. I'm pretty sure we couldnt extract pheromones until about 10 years ago
I like this part if the description:

The things I could with $14,000
It's up to $25,000 now AND if you check the bid history the latest bidders have some high feedback counts...like 586
That is sooooo unreal. Wish I could think of something like that. WOW all that money!!
Ok, I think nobody will be really buying this now, look at the highest bid now.
US $99,999,999.00
Only Bill Gates could afford that.

I cant belive that after this was added some one has risked their account with 124 replies 100% feedback making a $999,999,999 bid ....
OMG what the heck was he thinking, the bidder is going to have to face the consequences of his idiocy. (Unless he actually pays )
)
Now it's back down to $1,991...
OMG.....current bid $65.000

When I first signed up for ebay and asked why the need for a cc on file, they said to stop people trying to sell their kindeys and filling up the sales posts with rubish

it seems like people are just bidding for the fun of it. Too bad for the seller, because he's going to have to pay massive eBay fees. 
True, most of those are probably phony bids, couldn't you make an account on ebay without giving a credit card or anything? I'm not sure, I have an account there, but I did give credit card, so they did charge when I auctioned stuff off.

You can make an account without any CC info but if you want to sell you have to have a CC on file regardless of how you choose to pay the fees.
Hence the reason I can't sell on ebay
