£65,900.00 for Jar of Air??

**ilcarletto** · #1 06-23-2016

This is not the first time I come across something like this.

It can't be a real auction

What is behind this? Is he bidding with other accounts? Re-cycling money somehow?

I see ebay sales like this all the time. I think it's a way to transfer money if you ask me.

I have seen things that sell for $5 sold for $2,000 on a buy it now immediately after
it was listed. Smells like transferring money to me.

Certificate of authenticity is what raises my curiosity. How exactly would one certify (or prove) that the air had originated from a particular location, or even a particular date for that matter.

Smells fishy to me (not the contents).

I wouldn't get too excited - lots of ppl end up not paying for this ish :( just bid on it for the h*ll of it...

If you want a unique item, I can sell you some cut finger nails.

Surprising things like this still appearing on eBay, but they certainly are.

A jar of air is interesting.. I want one where can i get it? (sarcasm) Seriously though. I saw a cardboard nintendo wii controller sell for $95,000 on ebay.

The Chinese have made this a real thing.

Canadian air is selling for a premium price in China

GreenBean · #12 06-25-2016

Have you ever smelt Canadian air?

I tell you in the wilderness, the mountains, it is like another world.

Truly an amazing country on all dimensions.

In all fairness I'd buy jar full of Canadian mountain air if I was living in Beijing.

I'd keep that investment locked up, away from my friends and family. I'd keep it safe for as long as I lived and then when I was about to take my last breath, before I fade into the darkness, I would open that jar and know that for once, I have not inhaled breakdust and used farts.

Wonder if that auction went NPB and seller is still active...
