Guy selling a wedding dress.

hilarious!!

DocL,

That was some funny stuff...I read this at work and nearly fell off my chair laughing. His humor can definitely take him somewhere in comedy. Thanks for the good laugh!
 
price keeps jumping!

When it was first mentioned here the bidding was at about $600. A couple of hours later $900, then $2700. Then, in a matter of minutes it has climbed to over $17K and these are bidders with some feedback so they can't just be people yanking the guy's chain... can they?

Edit: just refreshed the page and now the darn dress is over $30K :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Whoops - make that over $160K Hope the guy knows he's not getting paid...:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Okay, now we're at over $28 million - people really get anything out of doing this? I must be missing something...

back down to $17K

after a bunch of bid retractions and "administrative cancellations". Ebay should yank the accounts of everyone who placed a phony bid.
 
He's made the news...

The guy is on "The Today Show" this morning and probably others. Bet he gets a few more marriage offers.
 
UPDATE.....

The guy selling the dress is being interviewed this morning on the Today show.

Hmmm....Maybe I'll have something to ebay after my wedding this Friday? :rolleyes:
 
Just saw the interview - the guy was actually quite funny. Says he will have his own web site up today or tomorrow.

Ebay had pruned the bidding back to $17K but it has shot up to over $2.3 million again as I write this. Hope Ebay is watching it.

Edit: He's finally changed it so that you must be pre-approved in order to bid. It stands at $25K right now which should keep him in beer and game tickets for a while. :)

DocL: congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Over 8.1 million hits now! When you are on the page hit the refresh button and watch the hits, it was getting about 500 per second while I was there.

CRAZY!

excellent point.
why can't the media focus in on that!?

ebay taking into account fake bids yet doing nothing to punish the users.

You want to laugh? When the phony bidding was climbing through the first few million I sent a report to Ebay putting a few of the user ids in the right space on the form. Soon after that they were cancelling bids left and right so I figured they were on top of it. Today I get the following from Ebay's Safe Harbor:

Sent by Ebay Customer Support
We are concerned about violations on the site and have thoroughly
investigated your report. In accordance with our site policies, we have
found that there is not enough evidence to show that a violation has
taken place.

When will these companies figure out that responses that might as well have been written by a robot do nothing but aggravate the customer? More to the point, when will Ebay get on the ball and take ownership of the rampant fraud/counterfeit goods, shill bidding, account hijacking, etc, etc that is plagueing their site? Hey, here's a thought Ebay: how about a button/link on every freaking auction page to report counterfeit goods or fraudulent auctions instead of making people absolutely jump through hoops to report things only to get nonsensical responses like the one quoted above? Nah, that would be too simple...:eek:
