    Me too, but I love a bit of intrigue now and then :D

    Fascinating stuff ...
  • A great bit of publicity I agree but the pictures of dice and casino chips in the surrounding border make me think this is some get rich quick scheme. Something a long the lines of 'How to play the tables and beat the dealer'. Only time will tell I guess. Hope we find out what it is.
  • Right, I'm doing my own tube....... but i'm going to have to start it at about £800

    Just for you MSE'rs... here's the contents

    The keys to my '95 Ford Escort Diesel (...£500...?)
    4 x O2 sim cards
    A BT headset and microphone
    A Ladies Leather jacket (in place of the Parka coat) and scarf
    A Gmail account and a great Budweiser email address
    Some Fake Tan
    and if bidding goes beyong £1000, I might also throw in a Nokia1100 with £25 worth of credit.

    Now, when's the next 1p listing day......?

    LOL @ Jonni2bad - care to explain the items?? I take it ther mostly from the grabbit board??

    I reckon its some sort of scam too but can't quite put my finger on what - - not seen any media attention surrounding this so if it ends and we still aint seen anything we should start a campaign "whats in the tube" - lol!

    All but the Escort, but who knows, one day...?

    £800 should see me right for a newer car :)

    p.s. I don't think we will see any media attention for that item since it's in the US - although I might do a search later

    I think the casino chips are there because it is pot luck? Just like a casino! You dont know what your going to get!

    if we're going to talk about this item then we have to talk like the seller:

    WHAT is IN the TUBE? is it LIKE pulp fiction, is IT someones SOUL? or is it philosophical, LIKE when the CAT is in the box BUT how do YOU know its STILL in the BOX whne the lid is ON?
    ohh, lol
