Hey everyone. Beside being a shameless plug to an auction on Ebay, I also am curious to the question in my topic.

I made this rubber band ball with some spare time at work, simply to kill a few hours and see how big I could make it. My buddy saw it laying around and said he’d always wanted one and theres a market for this “product”. I thought he was crazy, but after a few web searches, I see theres more than a few sites that sell such a product. So what the hell I figured why not list and put it on Ebay?

Bouncing power? That’s a new one. Something like that is liable to end up with a $1,000,000 bid.

Don’t pimp your Ebay auctions on the SDMB. No matter how trivial or profitless.
