My Air Raid Auction Update

[Tanman]

Wow - I thought for sure that this auction would be over today and the joke revealed. It looks real at this point. Incredible find. I do want to know when Al found out that a box existed and if he or others planned the April 1 tie-in to make us go crazy over the news.

 

The bad timing was all my fault.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but Revolutionike, weren't you the one in Chat on Tuesday night that I first spoke to about having the box? I then posted this thread and all hell broke loose.. HAHA

Also, I am type everything on my iPhone. I hate the auto-complete function. Group = groping and earlier manual = Manila Really? Manila is more used than manual?

 

Looks like your carpet is going to get more photo exposure than your actual face.

Hey, when you think about it, he's one of the very few AA members that we actually have in-person pictures of, and that was from post 1! Some of us have 2k+ posts and nobody has seen our faces!

[hhwolfman]

Won't go that high. I'd be surprised if it goes far beyond $10k.

 

Crunchy Love ya like a brother, But I have to side with Shawn. At least 15k.If it actually ends.

I don't know, lately I have been limiting myself to 1 Banquet TV Dinner per day.....

 

Meaning I keep forgetting to frickin' EAT most days. Sheesh.

[Valler]

Over 9000.

 

 

Okay, I'm guessing 16,000.

 

How's about a price-range guesstimate poll?

There's enough fat there to fry a year's worth of McDonald's hamburgers.

The best is if the April Fool's joke is revealed and all these websites have to retract their articles.

Albert, you have a last name? This link you posted has your first name only. Sounds like Madonna, Cher or Prince.

There is (and has been all along) a separate topic about the actual auction in the Auction forum...

He started this thread when he found the box.

[A.J. Franzman]

My price guess:

$800,300.00

 

(See last link in the Kotaku article for why. )

 

 

 

Unsolicited guess: acuraboi12 won't actually receive anywhere near that amount of money.

EDIT: Now I notice that he relisted the item, and the relist was killed by eBay. I wonder what's the story behind that. Maybe somebody's up to some shenanigans.

From the pictures it looks real to me. Good to see another 2600 mystery sorted out. This auction will be fun to watch!
