Hungry? Grab a Snickers!

Somebody patched this deal on to me and I had a very good laugh.

Who actually makes this purchase? The international shipping goes up to about $16 USD...

Whoever they are; they have more money than brains.

Actually, that's a deal... if you are in a movie theater.

Well....this guys shipping cost is lower than the one on the OP.

Nobody buys the stupid products that they put on amazon. They also have more equally dumb deals like a gallon of milk for 16 dollars. Newegg is also notorious for putting dumb products on their site too, such as a really old keyboard called "Panasonic Keyboard" that had nothing special about it for $2000.

Sold by JohnsCrazySales... sounds about right.

So who is it that posts the listings for mundane items at absurd prices? I see it all the time on Amazon, and I have to wonder what the motivations behind the listings are. People with too much time on their hands?

Maybe there are enough naive generous people in the world to make the typing worthwhile.

I especially appreciate the customer review...

I ordered the Snickers because they were advertised as being 2.07 oz. and this size is not available in our local discount stores. However, the size that arrived was 1.86 oz bars. This is the same size bar that I could have bought a box of 48 for $13 less locally.

They gave it one star.

LOL I hadn't expected to see that on Amazon.

Before clicking the link, I was sort of expecting to see a giant chocolate bar, such as the 10 Lb Hershey bar they sell in specialty stores.

Hmm, good question.
What if it's a way to launder cash. You set up a fake seller. And because everything has ridiculous prices, no regular person is going to buy it. You have a drug dealer who has a ton of cash on his hands. He buys these $500 candy bars and $2000 keyboards. He's actually buying from himself. The seller takes the payment and deposits it into a normal bank account. Money appears to be clean and earned via online retail sales.

My old band's CD is available somewhere for about $300.00

I love it, because I still have a couple thousand of 'em.

...that is an awesome idea!
