Lady sharpened, good paint, no dents, eraser fully intact and never chewed. 500 won, firm.

Rolling Eyes

The things people sell, huh?

A single book?! A PC game?!

Sheesh....must be pretty desperate.

This is parody. There is no pencil or spoon.

LOL!!!

Has this particular pencil been abused or damaged in any way? Are you the original owner? Do you have a photo?

Surprised

I'll offer 300 won but you have to pay for shipping.

500 won for a pencil? Are you insane? The last guy my friend's mom's third cousin bought a pencil from sold it for only 250 won. You really need to lower your price.

This pencil hasn't doubled as a rectal probe of any kind has it? If it has, I want to make sure there is no lingering smell before sending you the money.

do you accept paypal?

This is an artists rendering of The Pencil. As you can see, it really is all that.

It cannot be photographed as the paint is sensitive to light and it is currently in a dark-vacuum, RAND-owned storage facility 1000 meters under in the Nevada desert in an undisclosed location. This will explain the $4300.00 shipping fee that must accompany the purchase.

I cannot own it; The Pencil chooses its owner and it has decided against me.

The only advice I can offer upon receiving The Pencil is for you to sleep lightly.

Serious inquiries only.

Evil or Very Mad

Is this real? Is it an official No. 2 pencil?

If it is, then I'm seriously considering it...Those damn mechanical pencils always run out of lead, AND I usually need to carry around a separate eraser...

IF you could maybe lower the shipping a bit, and throw in a hand-held sharpener, I'll buy it....I'd be willing to travel, if you want to meet...I mean, I won't fly to the US or anything crazy like that, but if you want to meet in Thailand, I could pay for your ticket and meet you there.

Well, The Pencil has been sold. I was contacted late last night by someone from the Cambodian government. The Pencil is gone.

Fear not though folks looking for things that should be given (or thrown) away....I have other valuable sundries to part with.

~ A pair of socks. Worn twice. 700 won.

~ A paper weight. Looks like a stone. Collectors item from the alley near my home. One of a kind. If you stare at it long enough, you can see a man fishing. 421 won.

~ Lint. From varying locations; behind the desk, bellybutton and under the bed mainly. Quality stuff. Free with socks or 100 won per ball - unlimited numbers available.

~ Half a box of laundry soap. 3000 won.

~ Used cooking oil. negotiable.

~ Dented but unopened can of cling peaches. 536 won.

~ 2 CDRs. 200 won each.

~ A bag with something in it. Smells like it was once food. Negotiable.

PM only. I don't want to be a forum hog, what with all of this nifty gear up for grabs.
