Guy sells locked safe on ebay for 123 bucks, the buyer finds...

Hank Scorpio

26,000$ inside! Wouldn't you be sick. The buyer brought it to a welder who opened it and the money just fell out. The guy who sold it sounds pissed! Who wouldn't be, hes looking for a cut :pac:

The welder should help him out there.

why didn't original seller do this?

Fair play to the guy who bought it. Tough titties to the guy who sold it.

That is all.

Who did the seller steal the safe from? Someone's down 26 grand.

Anyway, sickner for him.

yabadabado

tough **** on the seller.he looks like a asshole now going on TV asking for a cut of the 26,00.What did he expect the buyer to do?

Jim_Kiy

They could both get done for handling stolen goods? Unless there are people who give away 26 grands for thrills.

Sounds fake tbh
Who the hell would buy a locked safe just to cut it open?

TeddyTedson

Marketing ploy probably for some dude selling old safes on Ebay. Story sounds like bull****.

INEEDANID

People used to buy old safes from the big country houses that are no more here in Ireland.

Without the key.

There was one in a field near my house but had no key and was too heavy to move without a digger or something.

Owner took it away recently. Nothing in it.

Hank Scorpio

Was thinking that in a way, story is pretty unbelievable

sh1tstirrer

Why did the buyer go public with the story? If it were anyone with an ounce of sense they would keep their trap shut unless it's a baloney story.

LOL

he should have shaken the safe to see if there was anything inside first :pac:

the buyer and the seller are the same person, it was done so as to create a eye catching news story, the story was then sold to the press.. the people who swallow this are ..... *fill in blank with appropriate*

That's nothing, in my local charity shop a woman bought a pair of shoes for €10 euro I believe and turned out to be 5 grand hidden in one of them. Trying to see if it made local news but can't find anything on it. Anyway, I think the money was returned.

Strange things get sold on E-bay all the time.

Do a search on motherboards, and see how many faulty motherboards are being offered.
Empty boxes are a regular scam.
Broken laptop computers with no keyboard or display screen.
Mobile phones with cracked screen or other broken bits

Who'd be prepared to bid for Britney Spears discarded chewing gum???

Yet they sell.

I've just done a quick search on E-bay for "broken". 40626 items, and that's without searching the descriptions as well

One mans junk is another mans gold

For sure, if I'd bought the safe, I wouldn't be talking about what I was now doing to it, and if I'd found that sort of cash, I'd be keeping very stum.

I bought a Wonka Bar yesterday and there was a golden ticket inside.

Now I get to go on a guided tour of the chocolate factory.

Can't wait.

Go to the seller's page on ebay.com and the buyer only claims $6,000 and then admits it was only a practical joke.

For a combination of reasons.

I once went to the shop and bought a pack of frubes, as I was after having a few spliffs and quite desired their fruity softness. When I peeled open the packaging of the 3rd one, to my amazement the frube tube contained not a delicious yoghurt snack, but a large quantity of uncut diamonds.




Naturally I was disgusted with this, I mean I nearly swallowed one of the jaggedy little buggers! So I sent the offending tube back to Yoplait with a strongly worded letter, and guess what?! JACKPOT!!! They sent me a full box of Fruit in the Forest (my favourite, as I mentioned in my letter) flavoured Frubes!!

Only tough part was getting all the lads around to help getting through all 256 frubes in the 2 days before they went off, but it sure was a happy time....

The_B_Man

Sure people do this the whole time. You ever watch Storage Wars?

Also, in this case if it was reall the buyer would have kept his mouth shut!
