Perhaps creative currencies from history, from squirrel pelts (in medieval Finland and Russia) to turtle shell trays (in Palau) to parmesan cheese in Italy, use still today.

The ad did originally say $25.00 per box, but neither the dollar sign nor the period was included in the actual link.

But without a dollar sign, why would anyone assume it's 2500 dollars and not 2500 cents, or for that matter, 2500 pesos or something?

In the interest of comedy, I bid 2500 yen

Well Heck.  I was sure it was just a typeo (typo).  I never actually did due diligence to actually "read" the whole original advert.  I was just too taken with ho quick the the whole transaction came and went.  Fore Shame (I guess).

Sush, we be hunting wabbits 

The actual link at sassnet doesn't have the decimal point.  I didn't create the typo [or typeo, per Coffinmaker (one wurd, and there we go again!)].  I just copied it.

We could go down quite the rabbit trail here.  And then Mako wouldn't be so bored with the board; he could hunt rabbits.

Question though: how does a shark hunt rabbits?

WOWZER is right!!

Must have gone to someone with deep pockets if they were $2,500.00 per box!

Check the website. It was $25.00 per box.
Amazing how misinformation gets out there and accepted as gospel.
