Is this a new ebay fad?

I've seen more than one auction like this... who'd risk spending hundreds of bucks though...

Hmm, very interesting

So you pay $1000 and could possibly get back a money clip w/ $20 in it? Sounds stupid, but hey, its Ebay.

 

[Squee]

I bet the clip's got $20 of green Monopoly money.

Their feedback is surprisingly (suspiciously?) good...
"GREAT PERSON with BIG HART will deffantly do bussiness with agane."
I think that might explain why these things are selling...

Exactly and notice how much of their feedback is for unrelated items.

If they had been doing this very long, even with a good payout rate someone would get much less than they paid in and have left a negative because of it.

I'm a gambling man, myself... and I wouldn't even with that shit.

yea - I keep seeing the "free gift" theme pop up often

this is why I'd rather sell for a few bucks cheaper on here than do eBay anymore
