Since our last attempt at selling orphaned wares online went so well, we dug through every nook of the office and came up with some pretty promising junk. Most of it was clothing and accessories, however, we also found some pricey electronics that made this our highest-grossing eBay experience to date. Perplexingly, more boxes of stuff that nobody should ever want keep arriving at the office. We have no idea how companies can afford to send out crates of this garbage with the economy the dysenteric turd splattered across a Chinese squat toilet it currently is, but as long as can continue to siphon beer money from their folly, we aren't complaining. Click the thing below to see how we did this time.Nike Tech Pack M65 Jacket - $102.50This isn’t sold in stores anymore and still had the $350 price tag attached, so we were very excited about its potential. It’s made out of some "no sew" textile from the future, and things looked encouraging early in the bidding when a bunch of people from Belgium and the UK asked how much it would cost to ship overseas. Unfortunately they pooned out and it ended up going to some Asian dude in suburban Chicago.Diesel 0023/S Sunglasses - $61Our first foray into the world of designer eyewear. It took an hour to convince the seller not to list these under "Women’s accessories." For whatever reason, someone in Maryland placed the highest bid, and is very eager to slide them on his greasy face as evidenced by the subsequent series of emails questioning our shipping procedure. Have fun, guy.Casio G-shock 25th Anniversary Watch - $95Besides being an extremely rare time-telling device given only to important media people at corporate events, this dealie came with its own t-shirt and a book that relates the mind-numbing history of the G-shock. We were under the impression that nobody and his mother would be interested in a biography of a watch, but I guess we were wrong because the dude who bought it was so excited he tried to give us an extra $25 for weekend delivery. Can you imagine the conversations he is going to try to start with this thing?Robert Marc rm578 Sunglasses - $122.50Nobody here had ever heard of Robert Marc so we just made up some bullshit. The listing said they were the "elegant" and "sophisticated" eyewear choice of people like Diddy and Julianne Moore. It must have worked because someone with "Dior" in their eBay name snatched them up.This is a box that contains one blank slip-on for your right foot and three "choices" for your left. One has a slice of grapefruit, another is decorated with a shrimp next to a lime wedge, and the third features a row of oysters. The project was inspired by a Swedish appetizer called toast Skagen that means "party." Can you believe while people are beating each other to death over food, some twat is still getting paid to screen-print seafood onto shoes? Or that somebody paid $20 for three left shoes?Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones - $305OK, these are actually pretty nice headphones. They sound good, they’re just overpriced and sponsored by a rapper. But evidently the Best Buys in the Persian Gulf aren't stocking them because we had people from the UAE to Saudi Arabia to Qatar (princes, we suppose) asking how much shipping would cost to the region. The guy from Qatar won, but Dad must’ve withheld his petrol kickback that week because he never paid up. If you’re interested, they’ve been relisted. Let us know if you make a bid and we’ll throw in a Cardiel DVD or something.
