NationStates Jolt Archive

Greetings interested buyers/sellers:

As you well know, the United Nations of Nationstates has been a lax and inefficient organzation. As a "representative" of the collective nations of the world, it has failed to prevent ONE war, to prevent ONE major crisis, or indeed to enforce ONE of its inane and silly "resolutions" on making pie standard currency or somesuch. In fact, the whole matter has gotten to be an utter joke to those nations intelligent enough to have left its tarnished halls or wise enough to have never joined in the first place.

How does this affect you, you might ask? Well, today is our lucky day. For since my nation, as do each of ours collectively "own" the UN as nations of the world, we feel we should take a step forward and collect some real income on it, instead of letting it depreciate in value. Hence, we have decided to put the NS United Nations on Ebay for the highest bidder, so we might get some actual profit. Anyone else interested on collecting these profits is encouraged to express their interest, because unlike the UN, were interested in the good of all.

Ebay was decided because we dont actually have to "own" the United Nations to find buyers willing to pay for it. Apparently, put anything on Ebay and idiots will buy it up, so there you go! Instant profit on a worthless item!

(Note, disused condition is part of package, Crownguard will not pay an actual price for shipping)

Capitalism at its finest, people!

I'll share in the profit as a disaffected member of the U.N.

cool, link?

cool, link?


I wasn't actually going to sell it in "real life" but.....thats a great idea! Anyone up to actually doing it? You probably could get a buck or something for that thing....thats like...4 packs of Wrigleys! 5 if at Wal-Mart! :)

Oh man, Ebay proved to me that people are sheep. One guy put his soul on auction, and got $1.50 for it. I saw another guy actually sell a "ghost in a bottle" for like $270....no, that's not 2.70, its 270!
Sheep....Ebay is the ultimate statement in the arguement against democracy. :roll:

I saw that auction, it was a normal dollar, and he specified that it was just a normal US one dollar bill.

Most likely it was money Laundering by the Mafia or some other organisation of the such.

Nah; the amount of money it went for is too small; $250's chump change for those guys.

art IS entirely in the eye and mind of the beholder
and what it goes for is just a matter of how bad someone wants a
particular item and how long the artist is willing to hold out untill
getting their price. intrinsic worth is both infinite and zero and
just depends entirely on perspective.
personaly i'd rather make things then buy someone else's
no mater how much someone yet else is willing to part with for it
guess i'll never get my head arround the 'logic' of combining capitolism and art.
sometimes really simple 'stupid' things can be legitimately and absolutely great
like the marx and lennon alblum cover that features graucho marx and john lennon
or the wonderful famous 'red agitator' that was a washing machine agitator painted red and hung in a picture fraime

(i don't watch or 'do' ebay so i have no idea if these specific items
have ever appeared there or are ever likely to)

Some people are stupid, others were simply tricked.

Why not just call yourself "The Evil Empire" and be done with it. Heh. :) Probably already taken.

More posts, more posts! Bumpiness!
