I recommend that the word of this auction be spread. If necessary, yell from the treetops with news of these magic beans. The only problem is that I cannot barter over eBay, and as such I will not be accepting cows as payment. ID: 157193 ·

SPREAD THE SETI/eBAY WORD TO YOUR LOCAL PRESS!![/font] Hey I gave em a bid WT Hell Where does the other 20% Go to? I'm using that money to fund the search for a giant. That giant will then have a castle in the clouds. When the buyer plants the seeds and they grow a giant bean stalk, the giant will ambush him and steal the rest of the beans. I'll then be able to resell them on eBay at 100% donation. I will not sell magic nuts or shrooms (I lol'd) because they can't grow giant beanstalks. You also can't use them for Civil War Reinactments. But please do tell everyone you know and the news. Edit: Thanks for the bid. I will only ship to the West coast using the Pony Express, and only then if the rider is actually on an elephant and only then when the elephant is male and only then when his lineage can be traced back to a human/elephant hybrid and only then if that human is Tom Cruise. HE'S CRAZY! ID: 157341 ·
