WoW....a paper clip for a dollar. How can you tell if hes honest or not. Who knows. I could sell the plastic soda bottles for $3 I guess.

LMAO! He's made $5.00 already...before paypal fees of course.

You know it wouldn't be that bad, to help the guy out, but the guy has $2,200 in paperclips.

 

[Mantis806]

o man, i wanna do this too. how about we skip the paypal fees, and everyone in the area can just donate to me! i'm joking of course =D

 

[Deanos]

He only has $2,200 in clips if he sells them all. Right now, he has 2200 clips waiting for bidders.

 

[nanoreefer22]

$5 dollars of free money isn't bad. But I wonder how much all those paper clips would cost him, and after he ships them all out will he really make anything?

 

[Deanos]

OfficeDepot.com sells 100 clips for 72 cents. That's .007 a clip plus 37 cents to mail them anywhere in the country. He's looking at around 62 cent profit per clip BEFORE paypal fees. If he bought over 2000, he probably got them even cheaper.

Does anyone really think that if you bought a paper clip that he actually going to send one. Whatever they get they'll keep. It a good scam selling or asking for such a low amount that people would do it just for the joke and some may actually send the money. Whatever they get it's all profit.

Well, it worked. I just bought a paperclip. Figured the guy must have been really desperate to do this.

Damn, should have asked for a stainless steal paperclip. Maybe I can prop up a coral with it?
