After it is done, you can go the savetoby.com route and write a book about it.

Dude, you are a bad, bad man... Cheesy

Loved that comment from someone claiming to have a "client" who was willing to pay $10,000 for Baron... just priceless...

client32 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 05, 2006, 01:09:46 PM »

I'm a little disturbed by all the people who want this shipped to other people.

Love the comment about gift wrapping to the guy trying to make is girlfriend pay for cheating.

Another thought. You should get ebay to pull the auction after you think you have reached max publicity. Then you can create tshirts:

I bid on a demonic teddy bear and all I got was this tshirt.

Quote from: eBayer

Q: Has this bear been taken to a certified excorsist? And has it been given a sponge bath? I'm really, frightfully worried ... that it might smell. Thanks---Syrus. May-05-06

A: It smells of brimstone. I will include an air freshener in the box on request (the little dangly pine tree thing).

BRIMSTONE!

Pine tree air-freshener!

This is hilarious!

Cheesy

I've asked you a question. Hope it furthers your efforts...

I gotta know if someone actually pays for it.

spinr · « **Reply #31 on:** May 05, 2006, 05:19:47 PM »

I've seen the auction mentioned on a few different message boards now.

It's made it to BS Alert. Direct link: http://www.bsalert.com/artsearch.php?fn=2&as=1189&dt=1. And apparantly, according to them, you are now a woman...

BEWARE THE BEAR!

You have a new question.

Mabs2 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 06, 2006, 08:49:03 PM »

In the comments thing you say you'll give the story of how it was subdued to the winner only...
Wonder what that story is... grin

Bogie · « **Reply #35 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:31:48 PM »

We're at $360.

Now for the REAL question...

9mm or .45?

grampster · « **Reply #36 on:** May 08, 2006, 05:49:43 PM »

waghh!! Bogie. Any shootist knows the answer to that question: .40 cal Federal HS.

cosine · « **Reply #37 on:** May 08, 2006, 06:04:18 PM »

Hey, take a look at Blackburn's gmail address. It says 'aheist." A heist. Get it? Awesome, dude! Cheesy

(Yes, yes, I read the answer. Don't get all worked up Blackburn.)

Bogie · « **Reply #38 on:** May 08, 2006, 08:23:02 PM »

My girlfriend says he's just cranky because you woke him up when he shoulda been hibearnating (sp intentionally...).

She cited me as an example.. Hmpff. Where's sharp objects when you need 'em...

Now, you gotta answer. Are you going to get a 9mm or a .45? (what DID you other folks think I was asking about?)

client32 · « **Reply #39 on:** May 10, 2006, 03:52:49 AM »

I see that you are now nominating yourself to replace some girl's boyfriend.

If you do end up shipping this thing to Marissa, will you include anything to allow her to know exactly what she got?

My favorite remark so far is :All work and no Ebay makes Baron a dull bear.

That and to find the best widow/orphan related charity.

I assume for some of the winnings on this auction?
That is admirable.

doczinn · « **Reply #41 on:** May 10, 2006, 07:14:22 AM »

Um, it's pretty clear you're selling a stuffed bear.....

The story is puffery.

client32 · « **Reply #42 on:** May 10, 2006, 08:14:09 AM »

Not that I agree with evilBay, but I am sure that they would argue that people were bidding on the demonic presence and not the actual bear. In which case, you should have point out the pictures with the souls trying to escape the bear (the two detail pictures of the fur.) You also agreed to give the winning bidder the complete story, is that not a tangible item? I think there was something about a myspace.com username and password to go with it. I don't see how this is any less legit than people selling items in video games on eBay. Talk about something that doesn't exist.

If all else fails, email the guy with the ex-girlfriend. Set up a pay-pal donation. When the money hits a certain amount, you can send the bear to her. Wink

client32 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 10, 2006, 01:31:11 PM »

It appears as though you were caught a little faster this time.

doczinn · « **Reply #44 on:** May 10, 2006, 01:35:11 PM »

aholes.

crt360 · « **Reply #45 on:** May 10, 2006, 02:15:51 PM »

I hope the eBay person responsible for this knows what kind of bear they're f***ing with. Baron's wrath shall be witnessed through said meddler's eminent demise.

Bogie · « **Reply #46 on:** May 10, 2006, 02:25:09 PM »

Send Baron to eBay...

Idea...

"Item for auction is a reinforced plywood shipping container, possibly containing a stuffed bear. Item already has eBay's address on the shipping label."

spinr · « **Reply #47 on:** May 11, 2006, 05:10:32 AM »

Crazy...

The third go at this and it's back up to $500 now.

Here's the new link for those interested:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6057964499&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

cool

J.J. · « **Reply #48 on:** May 11, 2006, 12:06:12 PM »

So is ebay offering you any apologies or anything for pulling your auction for no reason? twice

doczinn · « **Reply #49 on:** May 12, 2006, 08:34:52 AM »

Maybe not; it seems to have gained price a lot more rapidly with each reposting.

Perhaps an insinuation that the bear unlisted himself might be in order?
