 :) Well . . . WOWZERS  ;)

They sold almost as soon as they went up for sale!!  I'd guess within minutes.  Fun to watch it is  :o

Looks like it actually took over an hour.  Hard to believe it is.

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

Ah cummon Wildman.  River City John was just making a funny out of Hair Trigger Jim's typeo.  Hair Trigger just missed the decimal point.

Is some discombobulated though.  Fecal Matter propagates in many areas.

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?

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  8)

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?

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.
