Just a thought- has anyone investigated whether this might all be a hoax by Golden Palace? Online casino's are fairly well known for using alternative advertising methods. It's not to much of a stretch to imagine them creating items on eBay to generate press reports, then coming in and bidding on the items, thus getting their name into the media. In effect, they would be paying themselves for the item.

Or, maybe people really are that crazy...

Well, if they 'created' these items...then they went to some pretty big trouble. I saw TV interviews with the grilled cheese sandwich lady...seems like too much work just to advertise. I'd say their gimmick is going to be these items.

Hmmm... (roots through closet) Let's see, I have an evil, devil possesed stuffed tiger and a haunted picture frame for sale. Any bidders?

I want it. I will pay you $100,000.00. Don't let it go. I am on my way. Just wait.

I told you not to let it go. Now in my crystal ball I clearly can see that demon is gone. You should draw triangle around it to trap entity.

If the casino really paid all that money for that stuff, then the hoax is on it.
Wasn't it Barnum who said "a fool is born every minute?"

well, Goldenpalace.com has done quite a bit of advertising for itself, including having a man jump off the diving board at athens this olympics with their name written on his back.

Well,it sounds like it

As a warning for anyone planning on visiting the goldenpalace.com website, it downloaded some annoying popup ads on my computer that bypassed my many pop-up blockers and came on every time i went on the internet regardless of the website. It wasn't a big deal to get rid of them with an ad-ware program, but they did annoy me for about 2 days and waste 5 minutes of my time getting rid of them. Just a warning to anyone whose planning on checking out their website.

I reckon David Smith might be right. Yes it seems like a lot of effort to go to to advertise, but in the modern ad stunt climate nothing extreme. I mean, Matell painted an entire street pink to launch a Barbie... Have you seen the cost of TV ads these days?

Do the sellers of these high-bogosity items actually ever Get Paid? We see reports of high bidding, but none that say "here's my statement from the bank; I've got the $80K now from my lint in the shape of Marilyn Monroe!"

I was wondering about that too.
I could easily bid eighty billion on something, but I couldn't pay it, nor could anyone ever collect it from me.

I have a demonically-possessed potato that looks like Elvis. It hypnotizes me into making peanut butter and 'nana samiches fried in butter that end up with the likeness of Princess Diana on them...
