LOL.. I just read the bid retraction comments

[Memo]

why do people bid on these things?

[El Scorcho]

good.... i thought it was going to be something... else

[ZrEo0]

a hundred bucks?
for that?
i get alot of that from the fedex man

[GraingerGuy]

That is what you call...stupid.

So...if people bid on it they are legal bound to pay it? What if they don't? Can the seller go after the people for the money?

[Speedfreak]

Hell, give me the money. I will give a bigger piece.

You are bidding on a wonderful piece of cardboard that is almost square. The cardboard measures 6.75 inches by 6.1 inches. The cardboard is in almost new condition, with a slight bend on one corner.

This cardboard came as packing material for an Origami desk calendar I received this Christmas. For you, it could have a myriad of uses: packing material for a desktop calendar, coffee table coaster, or modern art conversation piece.

There is no reserve. Actual shipping will be around 65 cents. I am more than willing to ship priority or internationally, email me for a shipping quote.

The cardboard is single fluted with a burst strength of 175 lbs per square inch. This is high quality cardboard.

This is a serious auction (well, as serious as an auction for a piece of cardboard can be). Please do not bid if you don't want the Almost Square Piece of Cardboard, because many people do.

[Grimm]

Thanks xsiled2.
That's a legitimate auction. He is not attempting to mislead anyone. If someone bid $100 for it, they owe him $100.

Selling something is all about presentation and only a little about the item you are selling.
Now I am thinking about the tens of thousands of dollars worth of cardboard I have thrown away...
