Comments on: Black Friday: eBay Body Bids & Hoaxer Wants Cop Job Back

When I checked this morning, the eBay listing for the hoax costume was up to $48,100.00.

But - and this is important - nothing is going in the seller’s pockets just yet because the “Reserve not met” indicator below the current bid means that the asking price has not been met.

So, if the reserve price is never met, the item will not sell.

Makes me really wonder how much the seller set the reserve at . . .

And let me just add in here that I really think that selling this hoax item sets a very bad example for the rest of the world. If successful, I see bad things in the future for cryptozoology.

When I think about the woman who was shot and is now comotose and the pain her family is undergoing; for this irresponsible creep to possibly jeopardize the trial of her assailant just makes me want to stuff this sorry guy in a costume and stick it in a freezer and dump it in a lake.
Then to have the audacity to ask for his job back! I wouldn’t trust him to have good enough judgement to pick up the garbage!

I just noticed, with 19 bids, the price is up to $48,100.00. And the reserve still hasn’t been met! Crazy!

“What goes around, comes around.” And apparently, if you are a moronic jokester, things tend to come around more often.

Just desserts is what I call it!

I guess his little money making venture(hoax) did not turn out the way he imagined it. Good!

There is justice in the world. I have a crystal ball too! I saw a hoax and called it such, early in the game. I saw a police officer losing his job. I don’t see in my crystal ball, this whacko getting his job back. I don’t see that costume selling for $35,000. What I do see is justice prevailing. I see a former police officer standing in the unemployment line. I see this same officer with a BF costume packed away in his basement. I see Tom Biscardi on his ninth life. I see many things in my crystal ball but not of them are good, as they relate to this hoaxer’s life.

Ah, there is justice in the world!

It’s really upsetting that they could get that kind of cash from selling the costume. That almost encourages this type of blatant hoaxing.

Billy Bob: Hey Bobby Jo, want to make some money?? All we have to do is pull of a huge Bigfoot hoax, say we have a Bigfoot corpse, get plenty of media attention, get caught in our lies, set back the field of cryptozoology a decade or so, then sell the items we used to perpetrate the hoax on Ebay for tens of thousands of bucks.

Bobby Jo: Heck yeah man, whole heckuva lot better than workin for a livin Billy Bob!!

Yeah, we as a society should really encourage these fools and their foolishness. They already walked away with 50K, now they stand to make about that much more. And by “they” I mean all involved, not just Whitton and Dyer.

“$35,000 for the $499 costume and stuff” ?.

P.T. Barnum was right. There’s a sucker born every minute.
