I think this listing has been up for at least three years now. For all you Cracker Jack collectors, lol!

He should ship to the list of banded countries. It could hold them together a lot better.

Who votes we get the staple graded or would that be a waste of time since it's used and would probably only come back Authentic.

Could this be some type of code?

I have read that some people have made what looks like a crazy classified ad and people who don't know anything about what is going on just consider it a crazy classified ad. However, to those in the know, the crazy classified ad is a code for something like an offer to buy or sell something illegal, etc.

You were right. I bought one staple from the guy and 30 minutes later a hooker showed up with a pound of heroin. Boy was my wife mad! She understood after I told her that what I really bought was a staple.

Either way you'd find yourself in a bind.

David, I'm surprised you picked up on this, so I'll let you in on some of what's going on:

Each of the seller's auction pictures is actually a computer chip, but only if printed at the correct resolution and on the right kind of paper. You can then tape all of them together once you figure out the sequence (based on hints in the NY Times crossword puzzle), to create a computer that will calculate the answer to a question that was posed in a soup commercial shown in the 1970's. Others like you will be doing the same thing with magazine ads, cutting out the appropriate pieces to form their own computers. Their results will be sent to the head (right through the ears) of whoever is near the computer that spits out the correct answer to the soup question.

So build your computer and stand by until your friends have completed their missions. And take off your foil hat - it will interfere with the signals.

The answer is 42

Forty-two is a pronic number and an abundant number; its prime factorization 2 · 3 · 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form { 2 · 3 · r }. As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes. 42 has a 14 member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30. Furthermore, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.

SO - Did I win?

Based solely on the location of the item, is there any chance that this is steaknchop? I guess he's graduated from selling emailed photos of corned beef hash, to selling single used staples..

There are still 4 staples available....I need to get into the staple selling arena....Seems like a low COGS and low overhead with few headaches. And with under 50 staples I won't need to supply health insurance!!

What's even more amazing than the listing is that there is actually an ebay category for staplers. Do you really need to buy staples through the mail? Doesn't every town have a stationery store? I assume these are BIN's and people are not getting into bidding wars over a stapler.
