I have been in business, I have always been a believer of fair trade in America and a supporter of the American way of life. In calibration of my 20th year as owner of Montes Orthopedic and sole owner of the 150- Million Year Old Baby Bird Fossil/ Hide Scraper, I am offering 10% from the sale of this rare item to who ever sells it for the Twenty-Million-Dollars, United States Currency Only Excepted !. So sharpen those selling skills.

Say what? :hmm:

I am a bit confused. Is the auction for a picture of the fossil or the fossil itself? I ask this because of this paragraph:


As people were leaving, a young lady, still full of excitement, that if she was me, I should take a picture of the hide scraper and put it on the internet, and said that I should put a price of 20 million dollars, being that there is only one of these unique hide scrapers in the world. The chances of finding anything like it again are probably one in a trillion.

Also, that is pretty cool. If I had 20 million to spend, however, I would not buy this.

Its for the fossil itself. No one is so insane (i hope hehe) to buy a picture for 20 million dollars. I guess the paragraph ment that he should put out a picture so other people could see it :)

Just a funny thought...did this guy read anything about listing fees? O_O

Also got a chuckle out of the auction text's title "150 Yr. Old Baby Bird Fossil and Hide Scrapper!" LOL

Interesting stuff though.
