It no longer amazes me what people get rich off of on ebay. What does truly amaze me is that people are willing to pay so much money for a peice of snow. My god, he should go outside, make a few more and he would be an easy millionare.

Who the... would purchase a snowball for that money, forget shipping it without metling, what woud he do with it?

This only proves ebay has lost a lot of it's original value as a selling tool. People aren't taking it seriously anymore.

Eh, I would actualy disagree, even though I don't use ebay I know many people who will buy almost anything off of ebay. And the best thing about it, it usaly works both for the bidder and for the seller.

What kind of a person would actually have $20,000 to throw on a piece of snow?

If that is going for $20k, how much a snowball made in Dubai 2 weeks ago would cost?

If that guy manages to sell that snowball I'm going to poop in a plastic bag and sell it on ebay.
