    Talking Pile of c**p!!

    I'm liking this eBay Ad

    Pile Of Crap Pinball Machine black dust on eBay (end time 23-Jun-10 13:20:43 BST)

    Very enterprising way to sell your old parts...

    What really boggles the mind is that there are two bids on it already.

    Perhaps they already asked the Seller what sort of parts are included, as per this comment further down the Ad??

    "on a side note I will include a large pile of second hand pinball parts too ... picture will be added 17.06.10"

    It's certainly an eye catching way to drum up interest

    What is more scary is not what we can find on Ebay, but who bid on them!

    there are 7 bids on it now so they either really want the pile of black dust or they know what the box of bits are

    either way its still funny that people have bid on it

    I'm sorry.. When I saw the pics and read the few first paragraph, I thought: Oh no! Seller burning parts of pinball do make dust, then I stopped there.
    My apology. Thank-you for putting me back on track

    I don't know what will happen with the whole package if it have to go throw the customs, probably destroy for unrecognized substance.
