Nuttiest Prices Paid On E-Bay?

I noticed a guy paid $70 for a paperbag like this, yes it's a paperbag

What is the crasiest price you've seen/paid for a non watch item?

I paid $19 for the Rolex / Cellini polishing cloth (the cream colored with green letters and green stitching) ... I had one that came with my Explorer II or Rolex gave me with a service, can't remember and wanted a spare since I always liked it. That's what I drop on a couple nasty work lunches so what the hell.

All I can say some must have more money than sense,but now in the UK there is now a atomatic charge for those plastic supermarket carrier bags.

Looks like I'm in the money as I have two small rolex bags & one pretty good size shopping bag as well. Also some Rolex embosed wrapping ribbons and two pens complete with boxes. Oh, and a Rolex brief case.

Retirement just got a bit closer

I laugh daily at the sales posts on other forums and eBay for Panerai bezel protectors for $50...considering they're free if you just call and ask for one.

Now that bezel insert...surely it's a sham bidder! Amazing!
