Some people have put wind, ocean water, and rain from Hurricane Francis up for bid on e-bay. Some moron has even put a shingle blown off his roof up for bids. I wonder who would even bid on that stuff, even try to make money off of this storm. The nerve!!!! :eek:

Close...
There are morons who would place such garbage up for auction and if no one bids ebay still charges a slight listing fee. Now multiply that by the number of morons on teh Internet and eBay makes a nice tidy profit for doing nothing!
