Quite funny.

Was looking at bidding on a Wednesday auction item, so I check shipping to make sure it is not too expensive and found this, the free shipping offer

 

R100.00 for the first item

R60.00 each additional item

Free shipping for orders of R1,000,000.00 or more

I wonder if they have had any takers, its a good offer.

[lilythepink 10]

Misleading advertising albeit with a sense of humour, I would say. What is that person selling that is R1,000,000.00 or more?

Lead Pencil - 10 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY - COLLECTORS PIECE for sale in Pretoria / Tshwane (ID:33168069)

[lilythepink 10]

Good grief! Someone has an over-estimated sense of importance/value! (If I'm not mistaken, Davie Mocke, whose signature appears amongst the items, is an artist - and, if my memory serves me correctly, could be from Limpopo (Makhado or old Louis Trichardt).

 

Okay, I see the signature is more like "Dawie Mocke" so not sure it's the same person.

What is Bob's commission on a R3.2 mil sale?

[lilythepink 10]

Now, now, don't get BoB's hopes up ... I doubt there's a willing buyer out there. But, who knows ...?? :thinking:

[Mad about Jack 10]

Lily, I tend to agree with you, I dont see a sale in the immediate future.

My Grandpa used to say...

 

You can take a horse to water

 

But a pencil MUST be lead:grin:

There used to be a toast for men in the pub (without women around) so I am told: "Cheers! And may this put more lead in your pencil". I heard this as a child and when I asked what it meant I was told they would let me know when I turned 21. I am still waiting ...! :smile:

Well, let's put it this way, after a few too many the lead melts...

[Seeds for Africa 10]

A touch ambitious I think! I am going to put a tracker on it to see what happens...... or maybe not...... bob and the seller may get too excited!

So that is the problem, MsPlod? :blink1:

[MiemsJewels 10]

:laugh: Think I should try this shipping. More profit anyway :bigsmile:

[lilythepink 10]

Jack and I were right - no bids, let alone a buyer!

[ClickandShip 10]

no bids, let alone a buyer!

 

Damn!! I missed it!! I was waiting for the last minute to place my bid incase another bidder jumped in and outbid me...:sad2:

 

Oh well, I'll get 'em next time..:grin:
