$25,000 Worth of Hot Wheels® for Christmas?

| | Comments (1)

Last week, much to my surprise, in my email I found an invoice and a "Winning Notice" from eBay® saying that I had contracted with the "Buy it Now" option to purchase "1968 HOT WHEELS DEALERS SHOWROOM STORE DISPLAY RARE - Item #6938765626." Since I'm not much of a Hot Wheels® aficionado, I decided I'd better investigate. One of the first alarming things I found was the price of this item. The "1968 HOT WHEELS DEALERS SHOWROOM STORE DISPLAY RARE - Item #6938765626" costs $25,000. Yes, $25,000. That is more than I paid a couple of years ago for the brand new 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid (a PEOPLE-SIZED 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid in luscious Opal Silver Blue Metallic). For those of you not acquainted with eBay® transactions, a "Buy it Now" purchase is considered a binding contract. In a live chat with the eBay® Security Center I found out that a "Third Party" accessed my account (by untraceable means) and contracted me to buy this item. I'm in the process of attempting to contact the seller (yes - it is a real seller) so that they can re-list this item and sell it to someone who has a Hot Wheels® fetish. But just in case any of you are Hot Wheels® fanatics, just give me the $25,000 and the cars are YOURS (shipping is FREE).

    Colon Testing Saves Lives: What You Need to Know About Colon Testing

    Colon cancer starts with a growth that is not yet cancer. Testing can help your doctor find (and remove) these growths before they become cancerous. If the test finds that colon cancer has already developed, you have a much better chance of beating it if it is found early.

    Please visit the ACS for more information.

    Remember, in this case, what you don't know CAN kill you.
