This Ebay item is hilarious

This guy is trying to sell two beer cans as tanks. All he did was paint them aluminum and turn them upside down

http://cgi.ebay.com/Penny-Auction-2-Aluminum-Tanks-For-HO-Model-Layouts_W0QQitemZ120366608614QQcmdZViewItemQQptZModel_RR_Trains?hash=item120366608614&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I saw that earlier. What people sell on there. [(-D]

Apparently, no one will give him a penny for his thoughts![:D]

2 beer cans for sale, these are the BEST things he has for sale, the other 6 pages of “stuff” gets better, unbelievable.

Even if the cans still had the beer in em the shipping cost is still too much! The paint job needs work too!

The sellers states they are a scale 20 feet high in HO, that would make them a Pony size beer, but the image appears to make them look taller. [%-)]

Then again, if they are full of beer then the question is, what brand and flavor?

The worst part is that anyone who looks at the item will likely say, “Hey I can do that”

Its like making grain silos out of Pringles cans, hint: eat the Pringles first [swg]

I’d love to see who would actually pay for these.

Heck, you don’t even get to drink the beer first!

He needs to check his math. The height of a beer can (~6") multiplied by 87 does NOT scale out to 20ft!

And look at the cabooses and engines he has for sale! Are those horn-hook couplers!!? I gotta get me some of those!

I think this is the same guy that was trying to sell tree bark as rock face. I love the electronics garbage he’s trying to sell as flat/gon loads!

I don’t know what you all are talking about. This is high quality stuff here, and if it wasn’t a few days before payday, I’d be all over those auctions.

Laughing 1AAWW but guys–it’s a PENNY auction!–I don’t think penny auctions are quite the same as REAL auctions—

Too Funny

Hey!! (psshhht) Anybody need (glug, glug, glug, buuuurp) some free grain bins? just $10.00 a pair for shipping.

Disclaimer: the above advertisement was in no way intended to be serious. please do not send money for shipping as tempting as it may be.Thank you.

this is great, after looking at the rest of his auctions, i now know what to do with that old TV set in the garage. hammer time.

It’s not so much that he is trying to sell beer cans but they don’t even look nice…If they were nicely painted with a sticker package then it wouldn’t be so bad, and yes…for the price of shipping you may as well buy 2 beer, drink them then spraypaint them silver[%-)]

He must have gone to a bar that had a two grain bin minimum![:D]

Man those flat car loads are SWEET!!! [(-D]

I’m surprised he didn’t put “RARE COLLECTIBLE” in the heading.

Are they deposit cans? Could be worth 10 times the asking price in that case. 20 times in economically-hard-hit Michigan.

I dont see anything melicous or over priced in his Ebay store. The auction that you fellas are laughing at is priced correctly, and the shipping isnt out of line at all. Also, his feedback is at 100%.

I dont see anything funny here…just a bunch of forumites laughing at a fella who obviously has happy customers.
