Jesus christ I was going to look to see if there was a patent number but that fucking wall of text in the description, my god did they put 0 effort into this?

Oh I don't know. I was instantly lured in by the very tempting and reasonable price of $15,000,000. That guy must have a heck of a marketing team pitching so low, a "loss leader" I think they call it 

I bet there are lots of extras that are required that take it up to $50,000,000. Still a bit of a bargain for a magnetic gym patent though.

Anyway I quickly read the very concise and very erudite description of what is on offer. As if that wall of text wasn't enough the professional photographs are the icing. It was a pleasure to read at leisure and utterly convinced me to go ahead and start the ball rolling with, say, a $20,000,000 initial paypal bid.

But then I smelt a rat! - (Not eligible for eBay purchase protection programs)

Are you kidding me?

Damn!

A seller with zero feedback?

... not to mention everything else that wreaks.



I wonder if they're up for any listing fees?

I'd go $1.50 - if I hadn't spent my budget for this month.

[EEVblog]

Indeed it is.

That's an insult!
At least offer enough to buy the person a bunch of bananas.
I don't know how much they cost in the US, but two bucks should do it.

[Brumby]

$2 ?

That's out of my league.

If you want industrial grade sketch on ebay, search for "free energy". Wear a head protector - facepalms can be deadly.
