Thats a lot of beer (not as many tools.) Hope he used the tools 1st, then drank the beer or he could have some interesting home improvements on his hands.

Anyone remember when Mac Donalds made the minature versions.. and put them in happy meals?

The big craze of them.. Parents would buy the happy meals for the animals and trash the food..

How bad is that?

Not sure if he is a loon or a genius. He has people sending him $1.50 to get a photocopy of a "Certifiacte of Liquid Appreciation!" as he calls it. He says in the auction that it costs him 3 cents to make the copies. He has a positive feedback raiting of 641. He has sold hundreds of them.

Just to follow up, this is what his "Certificate of Liquid Appreciation" says.

Dear friends of the Drunken Sailor,

I wanted to take sometime to thank each of your for the 1000’s of wonderful emails you have all sent me, praising my auction and telling me how funny you thought it was. Now even though I did say I did not want to get any emails, I smile each time one arrives. This little auction has been featured on Nationally syndicated Radio Shows and across the globe on chat lines, and has up till now already been clicked on 350,000 times! GULP!

Now, from the oodles of emails I get, many of the questions seem to repeat themselves, and instead of repeating myself oodles of time, I figured I would offer this auction so you can own a little part of the fun, and as well get some answers.

First the questions:

Question: Did I really sell them for $860 dollars?
Answer: “YES!”

Question: What power tools did I buy?
Answer: “DeWalt Compound Sliding Miter Saw, and a Shop Vac with built in blower…Grrrr!”

Question: What beer did I buy?
Answer: “What kind of a man would I be if I drank and told you? That’s private! Silly!”



NOW ON TO THE AUCTION (KINDA)


You are buying a wonderful (Suitable for Framing and makes a great gift! Shop early, shop smart!)Certifiacte of Liquid Appreciation! Your offering of $1.50 will buy me a cold frosty mug of malted barley and hops at my favorite local watering hole. I will have a list with me at all times and I will toast each of you individually over time with each brewsky you buy me. For your kind and heart-felt contribution, I will send you this (did I already say this once?) ‘Certificate of Liquid Appreciation’. It will be HAND SIGNED and DATED by me the Drunken Sailor (A.__.A Steve).

I can assure you this certificate is 100% Authentic and needs not to be Authenticated by anyone. It will be copied for a total out of pocket cost of .03 Cents and folded in three, stuffed ever so gently in a cheap envelope, and mailed to you personally by me! I will not be licking the stamps, as a man in my position has people to do that for him.

AGAIN…you get a certificate and that’s it! It is worth .03 Cents, and you are paying $1.50 for it. All if which will be used in the above described fashion. Now I should add that a man can only (Ready for this?) drink so much. And thus any funds received above and beyond the amount that is safely consumable will be spent on POWER TOOLS!!!!!!!! YEAH!

Hurry, supplies are not really limited, but I am thirsty!

You keep buying them, and I will keep standing in lines at Kinko’s Copying and Signing them!

This could even be worth something one day? NOT!

I remember that. I made the mistake of taking the boys to McD's on opening day of the promotion. The lines were insane (think Splash Mountain on a hot July day), and I told the boys we'd have to go somewhere else. Some woman at the front of the line overhears me and asks me if I want to make a deal: We split the Happy Meals 50/50 - you get the food, I keep the Teenie Beanies. I agree as long as she'll order my food, too, which I'll pay in full. She agreed, we had a deal, and no food was thrown away. At least by her, anyway.

Thanks for the link to the ad, mkt! My wife and I have been laughing about it for the past half hour!
