What is really being sold in the ebay "Marshmallow" auction. I think I'm behind on the relevant slang.

Question

There is an ebay auction at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270097915284&rd=1&rd=1 which claims to be selling "just a marshmallow" for about $10,000. Not even a picture of Jesus on it. What are they really selling? I know Craiglist slang well enough ("skiing" is not always done on a mountain slope) but this is utterly beyond me. What's the real good at auction?

Answer 1

david,

i don't know, looks like just another scamming mystery auction seller.

i wish they would get rid of those damn things!

then the buyers come to the boards crying about getting ripped off.

anybody that bids on that crap, gets what they deserve IMO.
