Free Indoor Swimming Pool

Andrew — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:52:56 +0000

At one point, I remember hearing a lot of scary stories about Floridian water-front property really turning into just ”water property.” Some would call it a swamp, I call it a free indoor swimming pool. However, I haven’t heard much of these water-front problems in quite some time, so I suppose if you look carefully, you can still find that dream location on the water. But I would seriously consider getting professional help in deciding if it’s completely safe.

Check out this gorgeous plot of over 44 acres in Orange County, Florida.

How rich are you?

Andrew — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:07:42 +0000

This auction post goes out to the one percent of America who can afford it — a $19,875,000 estate. And believe it or not, this marks a price reduction; down from $28,000,000. However, just by looking at a poor-quality image of this estate, you can tell it’s worth at least the asking price.

This amazing mansion overlooks gorgeous Park City, Utah. Perched on five acres of land, this estate boasts three grand levels, which provide views of the Jordanelle Reservoir, Bald Mountain and Park City. Despite its vast square footage, there are countless fine details still very apparent about this home. You certainly wouldn’t have to be ashamed playing host in a place like this!

Stake Me Baby!

Andrew — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 17:43:45 +0000

Here’s a chance to make money from someone else’s winnings, and support cancer research at the same time. You have the opportunity to stake this individual at the 2008 W.S.O.P., which could mean some huge winnings, and you get to share a percentage of it. As with any poker game, there’s no guarantee of a win, but the auctioneer does provide his winnings history, so you can bid with some added confidence.

Even if he doesn’t bring home any dough, you’ll at least know that some of your money went to an extremely good cause.

Now That’s Rare

When you need a finance plan to buy a watch, then you know it’s got to be a special one. This is an $18,000 auction for a rare Japanese coach’s watch. Boasting definite antique quality, this watch was created circa 1785 – 1800. The craftsmanship is stellar and the aesthetics are completely unique.

Even if you don’t dig watches, this a true antique that anyone should find extreme value in.

Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Andrew — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 21:50:58 +0000

Here’s an auction for an absolute classic — the Alfa Romeo. The Italians car manufacturer has been producing classy cars since 1910. A.L.F.A is actually an acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company). This manufacturer has a rich history in racing and has consistently carried that over in its street cars.

This is an auction for a stellar 1985 Alfa Romeo Graduate convertible with a hard top. It only has 53,000 miles, and is claimed to be in excellent condition.

Time for Style

Andrew — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:13:09 +0000

Hundreds of new watch designs come out every year, bearing aesthetic and mechanical adjustments that bring heightened quality to the watch world. But if you look beyond all the new producers and fancy features, you’ll find some true luxury watches that sport classy style.

Here’s an original 18K IWC Moon Phase pocket watch in mint condition. Talk about vintage aesthetics. Instead of trying to impress everyone with the latest and greatest, go with a throw-back and stun ‘em.

Caffeine for Bikes

Andrew — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:42:02 +0000

This 1979 Harley-Davidson SuperGlide FXE could add an interesting element to your daily ride to work. It features an NOS Direct Injection System with an elecrtic fuel pump — I’m assuming you’d get some pretty bad ass wheelies goin’ with this system. It may be the first motorcycle to require a seatbelt! Nitrous oxide is made up of two parts nitrogen and one part oxygen. These components serve to burn more fuel, create higher cylinder pressure, and significantly reduces intake charge temperatures, adding up to one rippin’ ride.

Even if you never ride it, I’m sure you’d get plenty of people wanting to talk to you about it — nice attention getter.

What’s in a name?

Andrew — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:21:00 +0000

Stop adopting children and just name them. It’s as simple as that; no more childcare responsibilities, only the fun stuff. Maybe not, but this is an auction for the opportunity to name a couple’s child. The highest bidder will have their choice of name, but the parents do reserve the right to deny the name, and money.

If you bid, I’d also ask for a copy of the birth certificate to prove that your money was “well spent.” I’d also request to be listed as a tertiary designee on the couple’s will. You will be part of the family won’t you?

Does Pepsi sell sex?

Andrew — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:39:12 +0000

Whether you’re extremely thirsty, are looking to add to your Pepsi container collection, love the perverse, or are simply looking to burn the latest hundo you found in your pocket, this Pepsi’s for you (yes, I know that’s from Budweiser). Here we have a circa 1980 Christmas-themed Pepsi can that Hugh Hefner might have helped design.

This controversial can was reported to have been pulled from production because it looks like Santa is really “riding” one of the reindeer on the can. This might have gone unnoticed, but the reindeer Santa is having a go at is quite wide-eyed while the other looks comparably calmer.

Tag ‘em and Bag ‘em

Andrew — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 15:22:04 +0000

Next time you have a house party, you can tell your friends to “Tag ‘em and bag e’m boys,” and really mean it. Any good house party brings uninvited guests. How do you put a halt to that? Show them your very own body bag.

As soon as they see that it’s an actual heavy-duty leather body bag, they probably won’t be too eager to crash the next party.
