cchunterOk be honest now guys, WHICH ONE OF YOU BID 17100 USD

its up to $23,100 now... When I saw that yeasterday it was only at $600 and 20 some bids. That is very clever. Thousands upon thousands have seen his add. Ah behold the power of the internet!

FjoldIt's over $1.1 Million now and I bet his ex-wife and her family have seen it by now and are doing a slow burn.

You must try to put your bid again, I can't see that it came through

But now I suspect the bids are phony--He won't get paid--but I sincerely hope he does. And yep, I thought the same thing when I read it yesterday--that guy would be a grin around a fire. I'd wager he keeps folks around him grinning all the time. You can't be that comical simply on demand--it's got to be a natural. I wish the boy well!

SpringThe firewall on my office computer won't let me access ebay from here. What is the current bid on this thing?
The guy was on the Today show awhile ago. He should be a commedian. E-bay was kicking out the obviously false bids; price was $17,100 when he was on TV.

gthomsenSpring: Please tell me you weren't shopping on Ebay for a used wedding dress. I might send him two tickets and a case of beer just for making me laugh so hard.

SpringNot sure my wife would understand if she caught me shopping for
any wedding dress, much less this one! Anyway, it seems our Ebay guy is getting some press because of his online ad. Here's a link to some
pictures of him modeling the dress that a Chicago TV station has posted.
With this kind of inadvertent comedy, our guy may find himself a new career!
I have a feeling this guys whole life and career are about to make a major change! I actually hope it works out for him.
