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.K.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!

Seller's payment instructions:
Like I said. I will take these copies, stuff them gently into a envelope, and mail it to you. If you in the USA the shippiong will be .37 cents. IF your outside the USA, then you propably don't even speak this language, you can't understand what I am writing, and your horribly confused by all of this. In case you can..it will cost like .80 Cents. SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE USA WILL COST ADDITIONAL! PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR RATE INFO

MMM.... frosty suds... *drools*

I'll have to see if I can find $1.87 in my couch. :)

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Looks like he typed this up after he got drunk with all that money the Beanie Babies netted him.

Hey, check his feedback - it's hilarious. Looks like he's sold more than a hundred of the things!

*edit* - He's got a website too, apparently, where you can even buy "drunken sailor" themed merchandise:

Its a cheesy way of building feedback is what I see

This guy must be a real business man, just watch...in 10 years he'll be the richest man in the world:P

A cheesy way of not just building feedback, but a pretty good chuck of money to boot! He's probably made a couple hundred bucks by now selling those cheesy pieces of paper.

It's because the feedback system is broken. Feedback should be measured in dollars, not number of transactions.

I don't think this is fair either, because what if someone only a car worth $20k? Would you trust this person more than someone that sold $15k worth of $50 video games (one per transaction)?
