well... from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3821090082&category=3258 that.. it would appear this chap is trying to buy a house... so why not give him a helping hand and buy the extremely overpriced paperclip!
well hey.. at LEAST he is being honest... I'd prefer to give my money to him, KNOWING where it is going. Or being Scammed all the time, by huge store's ripping you off with 'wooker' prices, without the money going to the people that do the hard hand-work to create the products. i'd rather give my money to this guy, then buying the 'homeless-newspaper' of the guy that sits on his ASS all day at the supermarket, trying to make a few $ , doing actually NOTHING but sitting down all day long... But still, I'm not going to pay that much for a paperclip... why paperclips anyway? why not just a 'thank you' note..lol L
