Every now and then, I find an item so bizarre, so ridiculous, that no amount of sarcasm could do it justice. So rather than pontificating and droning on and on and on, posting a bunch of random links that have nothing to do with anything, I thought I’d let the product description speak for itself. This one comes to us from an eBay seller in Gainsville, Florida. Current bid is $10 and rising!
Contents:
Barack Obama coin. Ohio state spaceman quarter. Metal. One of a kind collector’s item
Certificate of authenticity. Paper. One of a kind document.
Question and answer:
Q: Would you be willing to sell the certificate of authenticity separately?
A: possibly, though what would the certificate authenticate if it were by itself?
Q: Is this metal coin metallic or just regular metal?
A: both and neither
Q: Do you also have the rare one where the “OBAMA” is upside down? I hear those are going for much more.
A: Future collectible editions are not yet ready to be made public. Custom orders may be available.
Q: Isn’t Obama from Illinois? 🙂
A: technically he is from Hawaii
Q: So you just wrote Obama on the quarter, and people are actually bidding on it? Well congrats on capitalizing on absolute stupidity!
A: Items is a genuine Obama spaceman quarter Thank you for your interest in the auction
Special hat tip to Ross for digging this up. Can you believe someone bid $10 for a defaced quarter? Do you think they realize that with a sharpie marker, you can make the same thing at home for 25 cents? Only in America.
