How did you find that in the first place???
I should register with E-bay, ask everyone to donate one dollar, perhaps with half a million users, a quarter of them might be so kind... That'd be $125,000. Don't mind if I do.

EDIT: We should all get in on it... Does some one already have a "seller's Account"? One person set it up as their 'sale'. The rest of us bid one dollar each, we tell e-Bay users that we are doing a test to see how many people will donate one dollar to try and get half of the total amount earned. Like a fifty-fifty draw. We tally all the money up, and divide it between the message board users that put one dollar in to begin with. Sound like a plan? Or am I way out in left-feild?

It was on Fark.

Maybe some companies would consider selling some parts that way, everyone donate 5 bucks, the winner gets the part. If you lose, you only lost 5 bucks, if you win, you got a great deal.

You would have to do a dutch auction then, and say you have 250,000 items for $1 each. I would do it, but I don't know what would happen to my seller status.
