Believe it! Aqua Velva bidding opens at $6,900!

**Mr. Styptic** · 12-01-2011, 08:18 AM

You gotta' see it to believe it: A bottle of Aqual Velva Ice Blue on eBay, with the bidding starting at $6,900! Or you can buy it now for just $7,800, and shipping is FREE!

Okay, so it is the big 4-ounce size, and it is vintage and in a glass bottle — but $6,900 minimum?

What's the reason? You won't believe it.

(I hope the moderators will allow this link, since nobody here is selling the AV.)

It's haunted.

How about a cane...http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6651230/.../#.Ttepw7LNltM

**HoosierTrooper** · 12-01-2011, 08:32 AM

Well, it does come with free shipping...

the description was an interesting read

I don't think that there's anything remarkable about haunted Aqua Velva. I have several drugstore aftershaves that generate a spectrum of phenomena related to Class I infestations, ranging from odd smells (mostly Dana products) to actual free-ranging protoplasmic spills (Pinaud Napoleon). In addition to that, I have a vintage bottle of Speidel Bravura Musk cologne that has two or three Class IV phantoms associated with it, one of whom seems to be a manifestation of a deceased former Assistant Director of the US Bureau of Mines, and another who I have definitely identified as a one-time wholesaler at the Fulton Fish Market. I also have an otherwise unremarkable old Gillette NEW razor that continues to provide excellent shaves despite the fact that it has no blades inserted in it. It is also possible to reliably predict future events based on the pattern of soap residue left in the sink when I use a certain NOS Cussons shave stick. Moreover, I have a vintage Travel Tech that will pack itself and disappear when I am getting ready for a vacation, only to appear at my destination shortly before I do. Finally, I have an old Ever-Ready brush that, despite having replaced the knot several times, invariably paints an accurate representation of Velazquez' "The Surrender of Breda" on my cheeks when I lather up for a shave.

One of my friends has a pretty new puck of Williams that he says can be used to summon the Old Ones, but that sounds like BS to me.

I've got an imperfect Merkur razor that attacks whenever I put it to my face. $5,000 for it, anyone?

**JCee** · 12-01-2011, 09:16 AM

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on anything that's just going to find its way back to its original owner anyway.

But he has 100% feedback! This HAS to be legit.

**dcobranchi** · 12-01-2011, 10:53 AM

The seller's name is Damien. Coincidence? I think not.

He's got your back: "I have had some concerns about the bottle ending back up in my possession. I assure you I had the same wonder. Before i ever thought of listing I spoke to a professional paranormal investigator who led me to ebay to sell. She said that making a formal sale of the bottle would exchange or "release" the bottle to the person I make the formal exchange with. That it will break my connection entirely. It was her suggestion that I list it here for sale as there are buyers out there who are interested in studying the behavior of particular items that have had the same effect that my cologne has. I hope that answers any questions. If for any reason I came across the bottle again, I would contact buyer immediately for a full refund."

Happy bidding!

The Elder Puck. I've heard stories of this legendary puck that was forged in the mystic town of White Plains but have never seen it.

**joshua82** · 12-01-2011, 11:13 AM

What a load of bs, but who knows there may be a fool with 7800 dollars burning a hole in his pocket.

**hotreds** · 12-01-2011, 11:43 AM

COME ON! How can Ebay allow this?

**miamimoe** · 12-01-2011, 12:42 PM

This proves that P.T. Barnum was right: "There's a sucker born every minute."

**bkfist** · 12-01-2011, 12:45 PM

One interesting observation here... That appears to be an awfully full bottle of A/S to have been kept in a locker and "shared around" in junior high...

**Rogier D.** · 12-01-2011, 12:57 PM

If he REALLY wanted to get rid of it: just empty it in the sink and smash the bottle... That's probably just some guy who sold a couple of stupid things and did it all legit and by the book, so he has 100% positive feedback and now he's trying to get some cash of some IDIOT. I really don't get why ebay allows it.

**rpk** · 12-01-2011, 01:00 PM

He has come down in price. This has been on eBay for the last couple months at least. Last listing was $10K BIN, and I want to say he was over $20K at one point.

**Oscroft** · 12-01-2011, 01:14 PM

That's nothing - this is the second time he's listed it, and I think he was asking $25,000 last time.

This is exactly what I was going to say...
