Really can't believe this isn't garnering more / higher bids considering some of the other stupid stuff on there that sells for high $$$...

This is a shameless ripoff of that woman who sold her father's ghost on eBay:

But then again, I don't know why I care so much about originality on eBay. Stupidity I can deal with. But ripping off other people's stupidity really gets me steamed.

It's about time you came back!!!!
Now about the ebay thing, I don't see anything wrong with this imaginary monster selling thing, people know that it's fake, but they like the idea of purchasing things like that, feeling like they are doing a good deed.

Yeah, the whole good-deed thing is why I can't believe this auction isn't getting more and higher bids. Did anyone who bought any of that outrageous stuff actually think they were getting that? Let hope not...! So I would have thought this one would be doing better than just $2.25. Must be a slow day...

Monsters aren't going for much on the market now a days, people prefer buying dead grandparents and God's.

No sooner do I open my trap... and then I see it's up to 46 bids and a going price of $120.00. Says they're going to use proceeds to pay for her private school... at least if stupid stuff is going to be sold on E-bay it can go to something worth while.
