Ocarina of Time was much more interesting than most of the religions I've come across. It's a damn shame nobody was stupid enough to buy this. User was banned for: When will the beast just die? EDIT. (Permanent) |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1723 Joined: 10 Sep 2008 | As bad as this is, it's still not the worst eBay story. That honor goes to the guy who sold, as was described "absolutely nothing," for forty dollars. Untill I see something top that, I won't be surprised by eBay. |

Truly so. Like being hit in the face with a brick shaped like a fail. EDIT: I seem to be in an unusually foul mood today, and the world isnīt making it any better. This is what I meant to say:

A piece of toast WITHOUT a picture of Jesus on it. 50 dollars. Saw it on Jay Leno. |

I see your $40 nothingness and raise it a Ģ5000 photograph of a Corvette. My friend sold a photograph of a car for Ģ5000. It even said at the bottom of the listing "Note: Just a Picture". When the schmuck got what he paid for, he tried to sue him, and lost because of the disclaimer. |

Sure, look at half of Nintendo's peripherals. Namely the Wii Zapper. |

Then again, some guy in northern Minnesota was selling air he "canned" in a Folgers tin, claiming it to be the cleanest air in America. I guess the ocarina chicken isn't all that shocking. |

The beauty of this website is that even on a fast news day, they can place this on the site without using air-time. |

Zelda Fan Auctions Ocarina-Shaped Piece of Chicken
When a Zelda fan discovered an ocarina-shaped chicken tender at McDonald's, he thought it was a treasure worthy of selling on eBay. He was wrong.
Some people see Abraham Lincoln or The Virgin Mary in their junk food. Others, meanwhile, see iconic videogame items. That's what happened to a resident of Bloomington, Minnesota, who ventured into a McDonald's craving some deep friend chicken substance and instead emerged with what he thought was an utter treasure.
"The shining beam of light accompanied by the melodic Zelda jingle blared out of the chicken select treasure box that was handed to me by a late night, tired, acne infested teenage boy as I opened it and discovered what lay in wait for me," eBay user 0iz0 wrote. What he had was a chicken select that looked almost (almost) like the ocarina from the Legend of Zelda series.
Naturally, 0iz0's first thought wasn't to eat the thing, but to try to make some money off of it on eBay. "Anyone who is a true Zelda fan must get this precious gem of unintentional craftsmanship!" he declared. Don't pass this opportunity, for I am certain you will be able to make great music and friends with this golden nugget!"
This time around, one man's treasure was indeed everyone else's garbage. Though the tender does bear some likeness to the ocarina (or maybe Boba Fett's ship from the side), I guess the $25 starting bid was too much to swallow for any potential buyers. He even offered free shipping, but oh well. Maybe he'll put it up for auction again, hopefully after freezing the thing.
