In 2001 I used to sell things on eBay. I would sell junk and write funny things about the junk and people would read it and say “hey, that is sort of funny” and then they would go back to looking at porn. Anyway, I did that for a while until I sold this ball of wire and tape online as a piece of the MIR Space Station which had recently crashed. I was written up in this article on the Register and my site blew up. I made some Canadian TV show and thousands of people saw my auction. Then ebay took it down. So I put it up as art that just looked like the MIR. They took that down too. Then I got suspended from ebay. I got my account back, but I was eventually banned completely when I resold the same bunch of wires as part of Aaliyah’s plane after she was killed in a plane crash. I thought this was funny, ebay did not. Many months later I started it back up, but it was never really as funny. The one cool thing that came out of the whole ordeal was that I got one of my ebay auctions written up in an book about ebay auctions. That was cool. Anyway, as DBB is back from the dead, we might as well bring ebay pranks back. This is the first, and there may be more in the future. Who knows?

So check out Rare George Washington Dollar Bill. Mustache? Beard?

And in 90 days or whatever, when ebay takes down this link, you can see a screen shot here.
