Ebay hot dog
 
In case ya haven't heard a local couple is selling on ebay a hot dog they baught at the NFC Championship game (Seahawks vs Panthers). It's currently up to $7100.00 and has 6 days left on it!

The local news is constantly doing an update on how much it's gone up.

GOOO Hawks!!! :evilgrin:

All I can think of is how that money can go to actualy GOOD use somewhere in the world...

And, yet... we waste our money on things like this.

The Stryker 01-27-2006 09:44 PM

I don't know whats sadder...someone putting this up on ebay or the fact that I actually put a bid on it.

....yeah

Raph's Girl 01-27-2006 10:02 PM

Stryker:

How much did you bid on it? :lol:

As of now it's up to $10,069.69! All for a hot dog! :o

Anarky 01-27-2006 10:04 PM

I hope the hot dog gets eaten before it's sold.

Cerpin Taxt 01-28-2006 02:14 AM

So a stupid hot dog gets more bids than the textbooks I've been trying to sell for the past few months?

I can't wait until I'm financially able to live on the moon.

Edit: Completely out of the blue. I just realized I was warned. To look into it even more, it's for misconduct and attacking other members. Now, I was first attacked by a MOD, and then I responded, and then another mod tried to intervene but then sided with the other mod. Then I say something back and get warned. Really fair. You can all go **** off and die of aids now.

...is it just me, or is the human race de-evolving mentaly? For God's sake, it's all for a hotdog!

It would be a different story if a celebrity spat in it, but man...

Raph's Girl 01-28-2006 12:43 PM

As of right now the price of the hot dog is:

$10, 169.69

So far just one bid today but the day is still young. *L* No doubt it'll go up even further today.

Anarky 01-28-2006 01:05 PM

Why is a stupid Hot Dog so important that it needs a live newsfeed?

Sewer Bull 01-28-2006 01:24 PM

US $10,169.69 for one damn hot-dog? Bought during a football match?

This world is crazy.

I wonder how much a sausage purchased during the soccer WorldCup final in Germany would cost on Ebay? :-?

Masked Ninja 01-28-2006 02:36 PM

It makes me think of people who pay thousand of dollars for a potato chip that looks like Elvis. Or the Pope. Maybe they would do better if they invested in a life...

The Stryker 01-28-2006 04:41 PM

Who are you to doubt the almighty seahawk hot dog?!

I put a bid for 2.50 waaaaaay back when, I tried.

Machias Banshee 01-28-2006 05:08 PM

Jeez... better be a DANG good hotdog..

Iwas thinking about this... maybe its a fundraiser thing. Like, theyre raising money for a chairity, or theyre trying to get money for an ill family member or something..?

Cuz no one in their RIGHT MIND would spend 10K on a hotdog, unless it was something important..

The Stryker 01-28-2006 05:11 PM

Imagine if it had Ketchup on it!

I probably would've bid 4!

it's either all a hoax or man do people really need to get there act together lol:lol:

Turtledude2k3 01-29-2006 12:58 AM

I totally agree with Anarky and all the otehrs who think this is dumb.

Ebay has alot of crap on it and this is an example.

10k for a stupid hotdog? with 10k you can buy a nice tv or a car.

spend ur money on stuff you want, not foolish things like a hotdog you can buy at a grocery store..

Raph's Girl 01-29-2006 12:28 PM

Actually since 15% of the money is going to charity, 10K for a hot dog is a good deal since it's going to a good cause.

The charity they chose is the Grant Wistrom Foundation. It's a children's charity dedicated to make events and parties and trips for children inflicted with cancer. They rely soley on donations.

BTW... Grant Wistrom is one of the Seattle Seahawks so it seems rather appropriate that money from people buying a hot dog on ebay that was originally baught at a Seahawks game goes to a Seahawks children's charity. :D

Machias Banshee 01-29-2006 12:36 PM

I Knew it! :D ..only 15%? *shrug* at least its for a good cause..

Raph's Girl 02-03-2006 05:04 PM

Well the ebay thing is over. And after some fakers were taken off the hot dog ended up going for $1800.00. It was baught by Golden Palace Casino.

These people have baught every famous thing you can think of. They baught a species of monkey (now called the Golden Palace Casino Monkey), and William Shatner's gall stones. And now they've baught a hot dog.

zkarlette 02-03-2006 06:49 PM

What are they gonna do so the hot dog doesn't spoil....??

JD is right its a shame that people waste money on stuff like this when there are a lot of good charities

Raph's Girl 02-03-2006 06:52 PM

Well the hot dog is in an air tight bag thing so it'll never spoil. Golden Palace Casino (according to an interview today on the local news) are gonna have the hot dog go on some sort of tour thing along with all the other odities they've baught over the years. :lol:

But seriously tho... 15% of the proceeds are going to a local children's charity.

zkarlette 02-03-2006 06:55 PM

Cool !! I guess at least something good will come out of it after all:)

How about you stop crying and take it like a man, and real mature about talking about aids, I hope God strikes down on you with a nice lightning bolt, and you rot in hell.

Anyways, on topic, this big is almost as bad as that Perfectly Square piece of cardboard, that will forever be one of the best items sold on ebay.

KROW 02-14-2006 02:21 PM

What in the blue hell?

This is an ordinary hot dog? There's nothing special about it at all, other than where it was bought? Not even Frank Gifford bit into it?

I'd rather bid on a Jesus Christ potato chip.

Ryona 02-14-2006 02:34 PM

I hear ya, Krow.

Some people are just so stupid. They should be shot dead to keep from producing more stupid humans. :dead:

Spitfire 02-14-2006 03:53 PM

And people say humans are the most intelligent beings on Earth.....
