Very funny thread! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Great job guys.

P.S. The $76 buyer backed out of the sale. Read the feedback.

Accompanying the image are the word "Liberty" and authentication of the year in which this portrait was produced.

If you act right now, we will include at no extra charge an image of the Lincoln Memorial. This oft-visited site in Washington, DC is frequently used as a backdrop for important and sometimes historically significant events. Some say that if you look closely at the Lincoln Memorial image, you can see Abraham Lincoln himself seated in the center!

Don't wait to get your copy of these historical images. Multiple years available. Collect them all.

I want one of those. How much are they going for? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif

You forgot: "This individually numbered certificate has had previous editions sell for $1,000s of dollars."

Try a stunt like that -- unlike the previous posts -- and you'll be barred from Ebay for life.

None of the 1¢ coins in my pocket has a serial number. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Couldn't find it. Do you have a link?

EDIT: Never mind, I see it now. "Personal Ethics" not high price is given as the reason for the backing out. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I've got a funny drink coupon-related document from an eBay sale. An airline (who won't be mentioned, but lost about a billion dollars last year) spent the time and money to have their attorney send me a cease-and-desist letter for selling a drink coupon on eBay.

Value of free drink to buyer: $3
Value of free drink to airline: 50 cents
Cost of preparing and sending nastygram: $50-100

And we wonder why they keep asking the government for handouts...
