$1,000,000?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

well the one I saw was a few months ago, but this girl had decided to auction off the “panties she lost her virginity in”. They weren’t specifically pretty panties either. Going rate when ir an across it was $3.50, with a couple of bids.

Suggest that you describe the item and provide the link. Threads here can last quite a while, whereas e-bay links last at most a month (usually).

Saw a Russian submarine in Florida up for bids. High bid was something like $1.5 million, but the reserve price hadn’t been met yet.
