Get Your New Handheld...in Butter.

Posted by Hemos on from the the-dairy-council-got-to-them dept.

Wow. That's about all I can say to the 50 pound PDA made out of butter currently on eBay. Obviously, the Dairy Council got to them.

  1. Wow, that's really cool by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I wish I could post the crap that I'm selling on Ebay to Slashdot, I'd get better sales for sure!

  2. What's scarier by Traicovn · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know which is weirder. The fact that someone actually made this and is selling it on ebay, the fact that someone has actually placed a bid on it, or the fact that it made it to slashdot. I think my favorite things to see sold on ebay yet though were people who were selling their virginity, or their souls. Even if you never buy anything off ebay, it's fun just to type in some random word and see what comes up.
    Anyone know the freshness date on the butter palm? Or maybe the butter palm is for people who have butter for their hands and are always dropping their palm-pilot/cellphone :)

  3. Shipping? by wholesomegrits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And if you win, how the hell do you ship something like this. The seller has neglected to include the most important nugget.

    What major shipping carrier will ship a 50lb chunk of butter with a promise not to melt it?

    Maybe this is more of a proof of concept thing -- to see if people really *will* buy any old shit on Ebay.

    No sig is worth reading.
  4. The best part... by glowingspleen · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The best part is that they actually put a RESERVE PRICE on it. As if it's got enough shelf life for them to really wait for the best price...for a CHARITY AUCTION no less. Bwhahaha...
