LOL, it was when you said "having a laugh", it reminded me of this:
They don't have the full clip, but Moss gets up to leave the game cos "they're having a laugh" and the football fans are all confused, like "but they're winning??"
Here's how much this guy bought it for:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320642225110
So the buyer then went through all the trouble to get it VGA graded. Then put it up for half a million, and obviously nobody would offer anywhere near that:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200591510436&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
So he put it on auction again:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200594183294&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Taking in consideration of ebay and paypal fees, he lost at least $4,000 on the reselling deal after all that work.

Maybe I'm blind.Too much time working with standard DB15 connectors and handmade joystick...
Time to dig up my AES.
By the way, where did you get yours?
The person I used to get them from no longer carries them anymore, I bought all his stock.
You can use the ones from tototek.com they are deep ones, fit pretty good.

I'm pretty sure that's a Darwin pizza box.

Just bewildering though, i wonder if it will sell?
Oh, I sincerely doubt it. The seller even kinda hints that they don't expect it to either.
Also, I realized it wasn't Darwin I was thinking of, it was another historical dude with a dark beard.
Good find.

i'm often tempted in those kinda auctions to do the buy it now, and tell them they're a feckin knob for trying to sell something so silly.

I like a good joke auction now and then. Remember back in the 90's when people used to try to auction their virginity? It was never someone attractive in the picture.

virginity, organs, wasn't there a person who tried to list their kids? back when ebay didn't regulate shit so much you could sell anything i'm pretty sure. its only a miracle that a seller named USgov101 didn't sell nukes to OsamaBinSleepin69

At least to me, this appears to be Ned Flanders' face!!! Would this take down the price?
Where's the pizza? Did you ate the God's temple???

At least he clearly states it's not official. Damn if it doesn't look like it is though.
I've always been curious....who's that old guy in your sig? I always assumed it was charlton heston or something like that.

Aye, there's nothing wrong with the auction per se, what I found amusing was the fact that he's trying to peddle a neoayato-made fake for 1000€, like it would be some kind of a desirable collector piece.

Congrats to insaneclown for getting that much cash out of some idiot. And congrats to the idiot who thinks spending $3500 on this game is worthwhile. I can't possibly think of a better way to spend this much money than on a questionably authentic non-unique video game that doesn't even play well.
