Ebay Classics - Golden Palace

The first thing to say is that I am fully aware that the Golden Palace casino only buys the following items for publicity purposes and that I'm doing exactly what they want by contributing in a terribly minor way to the advertising of their site. I know that they aren't simply a case of "more money than sense" because the kind of exposure some of these auctions gets them is worth far more than they could've bought through more conventional advertising channels. So I don't claim to be "exposing" stupid buyers or stupid sellers, I haven't discovered something no one has ever seen before and I won't even be adding my own jocular commentary to the descriptions. With that disclaimer now out in the public domain I give you the top ten items recently won by the Golden Palace casino.

All spelling mistakes (et al) are those of the sellers - nothing has been changed or corrected.

Number 7

X-ray of a bright idea. Bulb in a bad place

Cost - $33.15

Number of bids - 10

Okay here is how the story goes. My wife is an x-ray tech in a very popular new york city hospital. One night while working the graveyard shift in came a guy with abdominal cramps. As the doctors could not find anything wrong with him on first inspection they suggested he take an x-ray to see if there were any obstructions blocking his digestive system. Needless to say the guy was a bit aprehensive to commit to said x-ray ( i wonder why).anyway after the x-ray was finished and my wife developed it you could just imagine her reaction as she posted it on the lightboard. Now let me explain how it happened. The man had said he was doing some housework (in the nude) and after installing a new bulb in his diningroom he thought he would take five and sit down for a few minutes. Well lo- and- behold there just happened to be the lightbulb he just removed from his fixture laying on his couch and poof up it went. As we all know the shape of your anal canal is kinda rounded and so is the shape of a lightbulb. Well this just made matters worse as it created a vacuum seal so as the fella could not pull the bulb out by himself. So off to the hospital he went. By now all the staff on-duty could barley look at this guy and the surgeon on duty had to call for help as this man needed surgery to have it removed. The surgery went great and the man was released hours later with nothing more than a slight pain in the ass

P.s. the doctor said the bulb was covered in a lubricant. Last i checked most bulbs were being sold free of any lubes or jellys.

Number 5

religious frying pan face of jesus easter

Cost - $102.50  

Number of bids - 3

After cooking a lemon mustard cream sauce for some John Dory I accidentally put the pan back on the heat, I rinsed the pan and swirled it with a spoon, tipped the water out and just before i scrubbed it I noticed a face in the pan. It doesn't look like much in the day light but when we photographed it the face looks quite pronounced. Is it Jesus, we don't know? During lunch we were discussing the existence of all the pain, suffering and uncertainty of these times and the poor health of the Pope and if there is how can he let these things happen? The appearance of Him in our pan and the improved health of the pope have restored our faith and we're hoping this pan will restore the faith of others. Also the sauce truly was magnificent, my best ever!


Number 4

TIME MACHINE ! For Time Travel ?

Cost - $647.59  

Number of bids - 45

Hello, I am selling what I believe to be a time machine that was built in the year 2239 by Dr. J. S. Strauss. I found the machine under my house when I was doing remodeling to the bathroom. The machine was hidden in a old rotten wood chest along with some other findings that I believe to be related to the machine like old pictures, letters, ect. I dont know to much about time machines or electronics, but from my observations I believe that the machine might have caught on fire, at some time or another from the looks of the inside, and is now in a non working condition. It also looks like there might be some parts missing on the inside, but I dont know. The time machine itself is not to heavy it weighs 20 pounds and it is 18" high by 23" wide and 11" depth.
