You Have To See This To Believe It!

oF course its fake. You can make something to loook like that and sell it for 2 grand.

You should take a took at some of the other items he's sold. Apparently, he must find interesting stuff on the beach every time he takes a walk....

I also think it's interesting that he has 100% feedback and is getting so much money for this junk. Well, P.T. Barnum was right.

Where the heck does he live? Right next to a radioactive waste dump? :P

What the heck!

That things from China!

Definitely fake!


TKC!

Hopefully thats the old ugly male mermaid, and thats why the girl mermaid always falls in love with the Human Male

People are crazy lol. They will spend hundreds of dollars on a piece of toast with someones "face" on it

Putting on my wildlife biologist hat, I see that it's eyes are still intact. Once wildlife dies, their eyes are the first thing to go since scavenger species feed first on eyes due to their very high protein content. If the eyes weren't immediately eaten, they decay faster than any other part of the body and, given the deteriorated state of the rest of the body, the eyes should be completely gone leaving only two empty sockets.

I also question the adaptive significance of fins on its head. With such a relatively fragile cervical (neck) column, such large fins would tend to snap the neck during a power turn in the water. There's also a lot of problems with its dentition (teeth) - the only species where I have ever seen ovate dentition such as this is among parasitic blood-suckers such as lamprey eels and invertebrates. While the manufacturer and seller of this creature has a very active imagination, he doesn't have much feel for anatomy. A forensic scientist would have a field day with this specimen.

I noticed he didn't have a return policy. And by a quick check of his previous sales, I notice this isn't the first "sea monster" he's sold. Apparently his buyers go along with his jokes, so don't neg him.

I suppose it is a good thing that this is a home-grown fraud. No sense in sending all the way to China for a counterfeit; costs less shipping.

I hope the buyer enjoys his $1550 (plus shipping) mermaid monster.

We're in the wrong business. Instead of worrying about fraudulent coin auctions, we should be coming up with new food look-alikes to sell on ebay. Off the top of my head (really, really off the top!), how about a splatter of mayonnaise on a paper plate which looks just like George Washington on the quarter. Or a spill of Paul Newman's "Newman's Best" salad dressing which looks just like Robert Redford? We'll get rich!
