    Man sells safe on Ebay and forgot to take out the $26,000 in cash in it.

    'Stupidest idiot' eBayer sells safe with $26K inside - msnNOW


    'Stupidest idiot' eBayer sells safe with $26K inside


    Longtime eBay seller James Labrecque starts each of his listings with the same warning: "WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS." He's half right. Labrecque sold a locked floor safe on the auction site for $122.93, but the buyer found $26,000 cash inside. "I thought it was empty [...] So I put it on eBay" Labrecque told WMC-TV. "I feel like the stupidest idiot in the world." He has reached out to the Tennessee-based buyer, asking for half of the money. The buyer declined, quoting Labrecque's own caveat back to him. Hey, at least you got positive feedback!

    The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions.

    Maybe the ebay seller can go work for the City of New York! Sounds like he's over qualified!
    It's my choice. I can stuff my face with food or I can stuff my life with living.

    I was just referencing the dumb @ss move the city gov't just made concerning donations to feed the homeless! The city itself is fun to visit, although no way I'd want to live there!

    LOL, that. I'm sure that's not the only dumb thing they've done. Love me some Manhattan.
