Ok, periodically I see things for sale on a certain gun sales website that seem ridiculously overpriced (an RG 38 for $475?) but I had to start this thread for one that just takes the title: Colt Counter Mat Python Black & Red for ... $150. This is not some high ceiling "buy now" price to encourage bidding on an auction either, this is the sale price.
Apparently, Colt Pythons are now so incredibly rare and valuable that rubber mats you can get for $5 at Walmart are worth 30 times more with a serpentine logo stamped on them. The ad also includes the names of all of Colt's serpent line of handguns in the description, just to make sure people desperately searching for $150 rubber mats find their way here.

I still shake my head at people selling Dillon parts on eBay. After all they will send them to you for free of you call them toll free on the phone...
 
How dare you insult Col. Colt's rubber mats?? They're the finest rubber mats in the world! They wear the snake! Other rubber mats might claim to be as good as a Colt's rubber mat, but that does not a snake make mats COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
 
Not gun related but a few years ago an air guitar sold for $9.95 with a free case on eBay!
 
W.C. Fields in the earlier post was right on.......... And so was P.T. Barnum with his famous quote that "There's a sucker born every minute". ........ That's a nice mat but I can't believe that some would find it was worth what they are asking for it.
 
Some people have more money than they know what to do better with. I could point out a few known figures in the news who fund political shenanigans which are still ongoing even after the election.

I'm thinking of taking advantage of the market, and I know there are lucrative government contracts waiting to be handed to me. There is a huge international need for a basic commodity, but the disadvantage is transporting it. It's heavy, it's needed in bulk, and it requires containers for use or it's completely lost. I got the idea reading up on extreme lightweight hiking - the state of the art in that would be a 15 pound pack that would sustain you for a week's outing.

Except for one component - we can shrink, minimize, and engineer about everything we'd need to camp outdoors for a week, clothing, cook gear, sleeping bag, shelter, even the food. What we have been totally stymied in applying technology is in this one critical supply.

Water.

I'm going to sell dehydrated water and it's going to be a gold mine.

Don't give me that facepalm look.
