Omegamatrix Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I didn't do it. In the past when you said that CPUWIZ, it meant that ShyOne was involved. Who? CPUWIZ's better half. Does some pretty wicked artwork too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zap! Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Even being April 1st, the fact that the auction exists finally convinces me. Yeah, a fake item could be pulled early & all that, but I don't think Al would go along with it that far. I say again - please make sure this thing gets thoroughly scanned before letting it out the door! Unless the high-bidder is in on it too. All he has to do is bid something insanely high, like 5 million, and that insures he wins and no one gets in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I was in fact the one who told her about this box, she said she could have done it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting stuck with the Final Value Fees for a $5,000,000 auction would suck. ..Al As far as I know, after an ebay auction has finished, buyer and seller may cancel the transaction on mutual agreement. Well, at first I thought it must be real, as it was there before April 1st, but I'm not that sure anymore, especially as it now is there as news on the front page, and nothing else for April 1st... However, the box really looks convincing. Well, tomorrow we should know. Edited April 1, 2010 by Herbarius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think as the second title description, you should have written, "only box known to exist". Who cares about 13 carts when you have 1 box? And I see CPU finally surfaced. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanman Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yeah, I was moving pretty fast and using the previous auction as a template. I was being held to the 9pm deadline. If I change that part of the auction I think I messes the search up and sends a message out to all the people watching. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari_envy Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 the 1st of april is already over for some of us ... what's the deal? Is the auction still up? ..Al Indeed it is, with the bid now at $4,500. I think if the auction is still up after the 1st, bidding will take off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people haven't figured out that this isn't a prank by now, they're just dense. Nothing is going to happen in the next 8-12 hours that's going to change anything. Even if it were a prank, what makes you think anything would be revealed at 12 AM April 2nd? Why end it? You're going to be waiting up all night for some grand announcement that never comes.

jahfish Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Is the auction still up? ..Al The only guy who saw and inspected the box personally wonders if the auction is still on? anyone else smells something fishy? al, the "i believe"-camp is on the other side of the fence what do you want from us? go back!
