Hehe, this guy is skint and lives in London. His solution? Auction absolutely nothing. With it being easy to store and no postage required, several people have made a bid on the auction currently totalling up to £50

"I think I'll buy this for my girlfriend’s birthday. She appreciates nothing"

Classic

It's been done Remember hearing about a similar arrangment years back- the guy wanted fame and fortune by being the first to sell, literary, nothing.

You know, I should try it some time... forget about working for the DWP or writing novels or becoming a gangsta or whatever, just sell nothing on ebay!

 

[Dasparov]

damn, i should've thought of that

 

[MiccyNarc]

Current bid: £10,600.00

o.0.o.0.o.0!1!1!!!

WTF.

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Most bids after a couple of pounds will probably be fake...

Read the questions that people ask at the bottom... The questions (and answers) are hilarious

With EBay auctions there has to be an actual physical object sold so this auction isn't a "legal" one to begin with. It will be cancelled soon if it hasn't been already.

This is a fantastic, once in a lifetime opportunity to buy absolutely nothing! The successful bidder will receive absolutely nothing direct from me.

* The perfect gift for the person who has everything.
* Takes up no space. Easy to store.
* Helps fight capitalism. Possibly.
* No postage required.
* Environmentally friendly, 100% organic and edible.

(Note. It is not recommended that you eat absolutely nothing for prolonged periods.)

Current bid: £1,000,100.00

I am selling my nothing for sure now...

Ebay has sunken to new depths again

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Fake bids.

 

[theGreenBunny]

I think ebay removed it already.

 

[Darkside55]

Well, this is absolutely unprecedented. Never in eBay's history has somebody sold nothing before. I mean, wow, just wow.

Totally out of left-field and I never would've suspected it. Oh, internet, what will you come up with next?

Me and my freind were thinking of things to sell on ebay... I might just randomly sell a half- chewed biro and see how much it goes for

Ebay removed the auction.

Not suprised it was in violation of their T&A though. Still any chance to ruin our humor

 

[GhostBoi]

I think I should sell "It" on eBay and then just write it ona piece of paper and see how much "it" goes for.
