I really don't know what to make of this.

I'm also unsure if this is in the right scection.

My apologies if this has been posted before, I searched the board and found nothing.

That gave me a good little chuckle. Maybe someday I too can make money off of something stupid. Or is that off of the stupid? Take your pick, I'm sure they both work. :grin:

That is why people should be sober when they list an item on ebay. Looks like they were doin' a little drinky-drinky.

Why 6 dollars to ship though?

I needed a good laugh :lol:

. I think we have a winner for the dumbest TF auction of all time (seller and bidder).

This is so... stupid!

Someday, when i find a pile of dog crap in a vague shape of any transformers figure, i have to put it on eBay!

Someone in my country bought 2pln for 3pln.
Someone is just having fun, fellas.

What's 2pln? What's 3pln?

I don't see the resemblance. It looks more like a chicken than Optimus Prime. I could see this appearing on the Tonight Show segment though. "Crap on eBay" I think it's called. The one where the audience guess "Sold" or "Not Sold". I remember someone bought the box of an XBox 360 for over $1000. Not the system, just box it came in. And empty box for more than a grand!

This is my WTF of the day.

This year? Try EVER.
Amazes me how it works, but now I'm scrutinizing all my popcorn and selling it.
I'm sure Josh Caramel will sell.
(If no one got that, shameful.)

Well, this offically proves that ebay has everything.

Sorry to tell you that I think it isn't, because it isn't actually a toy. To me, this should go in the transformers general discussion, but I may be wrong.

That reminds me of when some Irish guy sold his beard on ebay as an "Authentic Irish Beard". All I can say is whatever. :-P

I see the fate of this "Poptimus Prime", it can be only transformed twice in its lifespan:

1st transformation: from a corn seed into a popcorn
2nd (and last) transformation: from a popcorn into some stool (Pooptimus Prime)

*OUCH!*

Let me post a question.

Is the winning bidder gonna eat that popcorn? Or just let it rot or be eaten by a rat in the display shelves?

I like the Miller Chill beer that he used for inspiration! :lol:

You know, I've been thinking that for years. I can't see anyone buying that popcorn piece. Can you imagine how it would look in a few months? Eew.

I wouldn't eat anything from a man that sells stuff like that on the internet :shock:
