The helpful person that I am, I volonteered some information. Quote: |

You should see the response I received last week from the guy who posted the 98 Bonds as from the movie itself...i'll post it later when I find it. But he too called me an idiot and that I did not know what I was talking about, etc. |

Isn't there somewhere to report this kind of stuff? This poor guy in Australia is going to put these plastic chips into an airtite and try to show them off in his next card game and I can just imagine the response.
"Um Roger these chips aren't Paulsons..."
"Yes they are. It said so right in the auction on Ebay...they're worth like $2 each!"
"Yeah and a Wallaby might fly out of my ass" |

"Yeah and a Wallaby might fly out of my ass" | It's now very easy to report an item. Just go to the very bottom of the listing and you will see a string of ebay links, one of which is report this item.
Then go to listing violations, keyword spamming, etc., click send, then it will go to a page that has FAQ's. Right there near the top in small text is "email us" and it will take you to the actual part where you can just hit send to report the item. |

"Yeah and a Wallaby might fly out of my ass" | Yeah, you can report it to ebay directly, but most often they don't seem to care, and this auction is already over. Sad to say I was hoping the seller would change the auction after having been given info. |

Boy, I can't be sure, but that looks an awful lot like the novelty chips they were selling in the Rio poker gift shop when I was there last Novemeber. Quote: |
