Hey everyone,

So I got sick of all the scam xbox ads on ebay and decided to take matters into my own hands and create quite possibly the most elaborate parody xbox 360 box auction in the history of the internet (and hopefully legitimately offload some t-shirts I've been wanting to rid myself of for a while.)

So, BEHOLD!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4806744268

Enjoy! (and bid on my shirts if you want them!)

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

:lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

BEHOLD: THE TURDUKEN OF GAMING BOXES!

Awesome. :lol :lol

 

[Brannon]

If I had an account I'd bid on it.

 

[iceDragon7]

BEHOLD: THE TURDUKEN OF GAMING BOXES!

:lol :lol Omg I lol'd at that one.

I want the Italian Stallion shirt. For free.

 

[Amir0x]

LMFAO @ SLEEVES ARE HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH

I literally woke up my roommate. Hilarious. AAA+

 

[Dsal]

Alex, I'll bid on it later if no one else does. You can save on shipping .

Carl put up a parody box auction earlier but ebay pulled it within 15 minutes :lol

 

[Nikashi]

Might want to edit out any profanity, since you can get your listing pulled for using profanity in the description text. Just FYI

 

[Ecrofirt]

I've bid.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

The auction has turducken, but no John Madden?

 

[alexxx]

Haha, well I can't say I'm surprised - Carl's auction looked like A BIG OL SCAM!

 

[alexxx]

Thanks Ecro! Perhaps you will be the lucky winner! (I kind of hope not, would be a bummer to sell all that stuff for a dollar.)

 

[Naked Snake]

I want the Nintendo shirt

 

[Seth C]

I really like that Atari hoodie. Is the logo stitched on? Where did you get it?

 

[Helznicht]

Fuck! I want that atari hoodie, but I know even this auction is gonna be "duping dipshits" into bidding $750 on this.

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

Wow some people are complete idiots they would actually bid on this crap ...

If I had an account I'd bid on it.

words seem to fail me.

 

[Azure Dream]

Genius, I love it. Four layers of boxes, how can you beat that?

Wow some people are complete idiots they would actually bid on this crap ...

It's funny, it's supporting a GAFfer, besides, you ARE getting two shirts and an Atari hoodie, that's actually not too bad for the current price.

 

[Nikashi]

Well, now that there's bids, you can't remove that 'dipshits', so don't be shocked if it does get yanked (You'll get all your listing fees back, tho)

 

[GitarooMan]

:lol :lol :lol Great stuff, thumbs up.

 

[Atari2600]

Man, I threw down a $20 bid and was outbid right away.

THIS TRULY IS THE HOT CHRISTMAS ITEM THAT EVERYBODY WANTS.

 

[pollo]

heh for 20 dollars that thing is a steal...that atari hoodie, nintendo shirt and italian shirt are bomb.

 

[Atari2600]

Damn right, I'm the high bidder now. 360 get!












... or maybe not

 

[alexxx]

hahaha wow.

OK, so I should have probably included actual details about these shirts, I don't know why the many years of experience working in the entertainment merchandise industry totally failed me, but here we go:

The Nintendo and Rocky shirts are both XL, cotton tees. The printing is silkscreened on, and isn't that crappy applique that will instantly rub off in one wash cycle.

The Atari Hoodie is pretty nice - the insignia is a fuzzy embroidered patch that the hulk himself couldn't remove if he tried (note, this is probably false, I'm sure you could remove it if you really gave it some mustard - but I assure you it is thick, fuzzy and solid.)

..and yeah, for the current bid, that IS a steal. Retail price on that atari hoodie alone was about $50.

 

[DrEvil]

I bid 40bux, but that wont last long i imagine... heh

I want that hoodie.

 

[alexxx]

I'll also point out that if someone does bid this thing up to an insane amount because for some unknown reason they actually think they're getting an xbox out of it, I'm not going to accept their money - I'll relist it with additional copy until someone who straight up wants THE PRIMO EXPERIENCE actually wants it.

 

[COCKLES]

Fantastic.

NOOOOOOoooooooo! OUTBID!

I am Ebay Cry.

 

[bjork]

Normally, the use of the word "ultimate" would prompt me to post the Ultimate Warrior.

Spoiler

but I'd rather not be banned again over something so retarded

 

[ronito]

You sir are a genius!

 

[alexxx]

Normally, the use of the word "ultimate" would prompt me to post the Ultimate Warrior.

Ohhh man, I totally should have included a photo of the ultimate warrior with the primo xbox held between his hands.

oh well, c'est la vie.

 

[Tarazet]

I so want that hoodie. I have an Atari bumper sticker on my car.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

THIS TRULY IS THE HOT HOLIDAY ITEM THAT EVERYBODY WANTS.

Fixed.

 

[Brannon]

Wow some people are complete idiots they would actually bid on this crap ...

Dude it's for fun damn it, loosen your anal region!

I could totally see myself buying it and giving it to someone as the best Christmas prank ever. And if you can't see that, then... then.... Why Do You Hate Freedom?

WHY!!

 

[Community Forum]

[Orin GA]

Dude it's for fun damn it, loosen your anal region!

Plus they get some tshirts. Score!

 

[Wollan]

"An Xbox! An Xbox??? Boooo!"

But then.. they open the box... "An Xbox 360! An xbox 360?? Boooooooooo!!!! But wow, what an awesome Atari shirt!" " :lol

 

[alexxx]

:lol :lol :lol the circus font did it for me

 

[alexxx]

the circus font did it for me

haha, the font in question is 'rosewood', a western font chosen as a digital "shout out" if you will to my friend Cabel who LOVES everything western! Especially wagon wheels!

The man loves wagon wheels. It's true.

 

[alexxx]

Update! It's only at $46, a STEAL! I'd rather that one of you fine people picked this thing up.

If you do, and give it as a gift, please document the opening of the present with photos!

 

[StorablePrawn]

What? Only 46? I thought empty boxes usually went for about 1500 these days... and this is for THREE!!!

 

[Jive Turkey]

I would bid on this if it wasn't for the fact that SLEEVES ARE HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH!!!

I will have you know these boxes are most certainly not empty, SIR!

 

[alexxx]

Only a few hours left, GAF! Who will take home the COVETED PRIZE?

 

[Tenacious-V]

2 shirts and a hoodie for like $50, that's a pretty good deal. I like that atari hoodie as well.

 

[alexxx]

The man knows a bargain when he sees one!
