Guy offers Toast on e-bay as a gag..and has to send the buyer..toast
novelty ebay auctions
i once posted a slice of toast to gain some 'interest' in my other auctions,
they guy eho 'won' the toast actually wanted it posting so i had to make some toast and send him a slice.
he paid £1 for the postage.

moral of the story: be careful some people are more NUTS than you are.

hmm, so each loaf
has about 20 slices say, at 1.00 total profit per slice that's £20, minus cost of loaf (£20-0.72= £19.28 made per loaf, excellent!

its all about demand.

i once sold a c64gs (no keyboard the console version of the c64) for £130. when i bought it a year before i paid £5. and there was over 220 of them i could have bought at the same time at a massive discount.
