One of the interesting phenomenons of the past decade or so is the explosion of eBay and the appearance of idiots who try and sell random junk to make money. I’ve bought many an item of eBay, but nothing like the apple core on which Tiger Woods was munching at the 12th tee during the 2008 U.S. Open. That would be weird enough, but some other genius put Tiger’s apple remains from the 16th on eBay as well! We’ve all seen morons trying to exploit get rich schemes in our own towns, but eBay has given them a medium to reach the world. I think my favorite part of the whole thing is the description of the 12th tee core:
I never touched the core, Scooped it up in a empty beer cup, as not to disrupt the DNA, Ive got lots of witness’…all moneys go to my daughters college fund
Thanks guy. The best thing about eBay is that it’s a great place to buy random, obscure items that you can’t find in your home town, and the worst thing about eBay is that it’s a great place to buy random, obscure items that you can’t find in your home town.
