Hang on to your tags, honey, because things are getting ugly out there in Beanie land.
And what exactly made this auction so attractive? Was it the marriage break-up? Was it the large font and clever use of colour?
Or was it the greed, as a whole bunch of collectors thought they were in for a bargain.
Whatever you think you can’t deny 675,000 + page views is not to be sneezed at.
So why don’t I let the seller himself tell his tale. To follow is an email from the talented and aptly named thedrunkensailor which reports:
Thank you all for the kind hearted responses to the Beanie Auction. I am glad some people got a chuckle out of it. I figured I would let everyone know that my days as a free man are surely limited, as the lady who bought the Beanies (the same lady listed in the auction as Tiasha who used a second ID to bid after I blocked her first) is currently trying to get her money back.
I told her that was not going to happen, but she has now filed a fraud case with (ready for this?) the F.B.I. Oh yes! The F.B.I. I figure that as soon as they track down Osama Bin Laden they will dedicate all of the efforts of the bureau to capture and apprehend the likes of a criminal like me! Pray for me my friends, I am a man without a country! LOL

Buyer, we have two words for you (and if you’re lucky, we might even spell them correctly): Caveat Emptor!
