Sale of potato chip on eBay not so successful
Hayes Scriven contacted me a week ago exited over the corn tortilla chip that he found featuring the likeness of the great state of Minnesota. Being a connoisseur of fine Minnesota shapes, I was pumped (see my Flickr collection of MN shapes, blog on the eastern Minnesota boarder, or blog on my Minnesota shape collection).
So, I put up this auction. We had a bid right away. Sweet. We were already trying to decide what to do with the profits of this auction. Surely there was some Minnesota-shape-cult out there (one I might join) willing to pay big bucks for this act of Boreaus-God kindness.
But, on the last day, we were still at .99 cents. Hayes emailed me telling me that he'd rather eat it than sell it for a buck. I was fretting having to pack the thing and ship it, so I pulled it down, canceling the one bid. I soon found out that the bid was that of Adam Gurno, our friend. Good one Adam.
