Oh no. He only had 2 & now Iron Molly has bought 1. Only 1 left?
The bid price could go sky high!

eBay/Paypal has become a total farce over the past few years. I'm cooking up an business model now that I hope one day will be enough to knock them down a few notches. E cigs will certainly be allowed, and common sense and low fees will be prevalent unlike things with the current auction giant.
It seems eBay has taken down the link to the Item as OP's link no longer takes you there...... I thought this was so great I copied and pasted it ......so people can see what this thread was all about. I like it

NOTICE*
This item is not an e-cig or accessory thereof.
It is listed because of it's collectible packaging that contains ZERO% tobacco or nicotine.
It is also listed because the collectible packaging is not currently available in stores.
There is NO tobacco in this item. There is NO nicotine in this item. This item is not a therapy device, nor is it intended for any type of illegal or recreational drug use. This item may remotely resemble devices that been subjected to a ban for sale on Ebay. This item is not an e-cig or accessory thereof; it is listed solely because of its collectible packaging that contains ZERO% tobacco or nicotine. Please do not confuse it with an e-cig or accessory thereof; which allow people to inhale nicotine steam instead of tobacco smoke. Apparently when people inhale nicotine steam instead of tobacco smoke, they do not get the carbon monoxide, tar, and 4,000 other toxic chemicals that tobacco products deliver. If people can just go willy-nilly and buy devices capable of vaporizing nicotine suspended in an food-grade common simple polyol compound like Vegetable Glycerin, using a simple resistance coil and small bit of electricity it would be untenable. Anyone with half a brain could do the same with a common toaster. But... The tobacco companies won't be able to get their money from those dependent on their products, and the pharma companies won't have monopolistic ownership over not only nicotine cessation meds--but the Billions of $ in healthcare devices and instrumentation which diagnose and treat, medicate, etc…. diseases DIRECTLY related to inhaling the smoke of combusted tobacco. That is why I repeat--this item is not an e-cig or accessory thereof; it is listed solely because of its collectible packaging that contains ZERO% tobacco or nicotine. Please do not confuse it with one.
Knowing the billions of $dollars Big Tobacco and Big Pharma stand to lose if this phenomenon takes hold make me wonder why would people choose to inhale nicotine steam instead of tobacco smoke. Apparently when people inhale nicotine steam instead of tobacco smoke,
they don't suffer from nicotine withdrawal. They just get healthy and their bodies recover from the battering that combustion-analog cigarettes did to them. Ebay is just obeying the whim of the big money machine, claiming to comply with a vague FDA opinion (not ruling), selling out so to speak, at the expense of the health of its constituents because the highly conflicted in interest; compromised FDA has stated that devices that provide this vapor may (which , I repeat- the listed item doesn't have anything to do with)--may pose a threat to children who may like some of the flavors available, and subsequently get addicted. Last time I checked-- Nicorette gum comes in fruit flavors, peppermint, and cinnamon--I know because I failingly tried it to quit smoking using the overpriced--pharma junk.
Ebay and Ammmazon (intentionally misspelled) are really chummy with big Fat Cats in DC, so they are betrothed to do as they are told and FORBID items that produce this nicotine steam (again--the item in this listing does not contain nicotine) because stopping smoking cigarettes and enhancing ones health will stem decades of tidal waves of money from going where it has gone. NO WHERE good. The FDA and the tobacco companies and pharma companies don't want people to have a healthier alternatives unless it is GOVERNED and Heavily TAXED to their benefit.
This item is listed solely because of its collectible packaging, that is not available in stores currently and contains ZERO% tobacco or nicotine
Ebay "recommends" that this verbiage be included, so they can have there cake and eat it too..
as per Ebays recommendation I am going to paste the following: along with some of the content of the e-mail instructing me to do so (just to make extra sure I am being compliant
However, you can sell collectible packaging that contains tobacco as long as the package has never been opened and you follow and include *all* of these statements in your listing. We recommend copying and pasting the following information and using the same font size as the rest of your description:
-- The value of the item is the collectible packaging, not the tobacco itself.
-- The value of the packaging is higher than the current retail price of the tobacco in the package.
-- While the package has never been opened, the tobacco inside is not for consumption.
-- The collectible packaging is not currently available in stores.
-- The buyer must be at least 18 years old. (As the seller, I'm responsible for making sure this rule is met.)
-- Both the buyer and the seller are following all applicable laws and shipping regulations for this transaction.
And to the sellers who are being blown away by my awesome prices, get a damn life and stop flagging my auctions, because what goes around comes around.
PRIOR TO LEAVING FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT ME AND GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO FIX A PROBLEM IF ANY ARISE.
Thank you for the copy paste JKVaper
The new link you posted is a seller with a different name who appears to have 4 or 5 different items up, using the same writeup. May be the same person. More power to him/her/them. I loved the idea when I saw the first one and I wish I had stuff to sell I'd try the same thing. eBay deserves everything they get, and doing it to them on their own pages is just too funny for words

That was pretty funny. It got me looking at a couple of items below it, and I particularly liked this disclaimer on a CE4 v2:
This product is not, in any way, related to tobacco or any illicit drug use. This product is not associated with any controlled substances. This product is incapable of serving any function in illicit drug, alcohol or tobacco use. This item is not a 'pipe' and is unsuitable for use as a 'pipe'. This item is constructed primarily of plastic, and is a replacement part for fog machines.

I didn't know where to post this, but it's too hilarious to pass up.

UPDATE:
This link now takes you to a page where the top listings are also written up in the same fashion. This may be the same person with a new username or a totally different person, but the verbiage is the same
that reminds me of when I bought that hand blown glass paper weight off ebay...
Priceless Fiamma, thank you fro the laugh! I was going to buy one just because, but they don't ship to Canada.
