How about this one?

#1 Seller Digital Grey Kard White Balance Gray Card 18% - eBay (item 380068283549 end time Aug-24-09 10:04:42 PDT)

He's not alone. Apparently there are a lot of sellers on eBay who think a gray card is worth more than $5. :lol:

How about a $98.00 Hawkeye Flash from Hollywood Camera. Ebay Item 290334509108. "Beautiful 30s Bakelite Camera". Actually, that one was manufactured in '53, and it's still only worth 3 bucks.

Just for sh!ts and grins I sent the seller the following info:

"As a collector, the Silly Record can fetch over $500 a piece, especially since it's made from a special alloy. Only a few cameras were made from this alloy by AGFA. I would also require heavy insurance for this rare camera. It's unusual to be found with German words on it. I have one in good shape and another one with Japanese words on it but in bad shape. Good luck."

Let's watch... :lol:

Yep... Totally clueless. I got an answer:

"oh really? thanks a lot! um sorry i just got stuff from my grandpas trunk and he said it was ok. i doubt people will bid on it if its 500"

Oh Lordy, Lordy...

That was good...

My luck I'd try something like that, and it would be a member of TPF. I can see the post now...."You'd never believe what this asshat sent me...."
