I've been keeping an eye on The Oculas, so imagine my surprise when I saw that your duck had bidded on it

I've done a very silly thing haven't I?

I must admit, I was tempted to bid as well, but only because I knew that loads of people would be after it and I'd be outbidded.
Unless, you're prepared to go the whole hog and keep bidding...then you are

 Posted Aug 12, 2005 by Zak T Duck You wouldn't by any chance be encouraging me to ride this moment of madness through would you?
|

 Posted Aug 12, 2005 by Footbacon I, in no possible way, condone madness of any sort, race or gender...
<walks away on hands towards giant bottle of wine hanging in the air above a bowl of tiramisu>
Go on, keep bidding
You can always tell the seller that your duck took away your rights to use the computer and stole your credit card

A pair together ain't we?
I think blaming the duck will only get me as far as the local loony bin

 Posted Aug 14, 2005 by Zak T Duck Can't sleep through worrying over the damn thing. Oh well, there goes what little money I had saved up and I've got nobody to blame other than myself.
Hmm less than 18 hours to go and still the high bidder, best face facts and consider some drastic measures...
Dearest Footy, you wouldn't by any chance be interested in buying my soul? It's in fairly good condition and only slightly tarnished. It also has the added bonus that technically you'd own me, my stuff and you could have me do whatever you wanted. Any (sensible) offers considered.

Huzzah!
The auction was declared void as they've decided to make it aksi a buy it now!
I'm so chuffing happy
The offer to buy my soul still stands though, for a laugh

I can imagine the panic in your face being wiped away!
Aww…I'm slightly disappointed though. I was looking forward to seeing pictures of Zak in it.

 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Zak T Duck It's a major weight off my mind, but it would've been fun.
Hold on... You're doing it again aren't you? Tempting me to have another go
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Footbacon Go on…bid….bid<hypnosis> bid...

 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Footbacon I didn't think you'd be able to stop an auction once it already had some bids on it
Not that I don't want you to have to fork out a couple of grand or anything
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Zak T Duck I didn't know you could either, or if you can it's particularly frowned upon by bidders and ebay staff.
I figured out a flaw in my logic earlier. If I had to buy that oculas, and I sold my soul and everything I had to you, technically you would have got hold of everything I own for free, including the oculas. I'm not sure how I'd have benefitted from it
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Footbacon But how much were you going to sell your soul for? £1,900.00?
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Zak T Duck It wouldn't matter how much I sold it for, as you'd have got it all back no matter what. You could've even bought it for the cut down price of a hug.
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Footbacon That's settled then.
You buy the Oculas and I'll buy your soul
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Zak T Duck I can't anyways, they've withdrawn it completely No matter, no doubt you'll have other opportunities to buy a piece of my real estate
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Footbacon They've put it on again, haven't they? A snip at £12,000.00
| 
 
|  | |
|  |
 Posted Aug 15, 2005 by Zak T Duck A little out of my price range I'm afraid.
