Possible to sell oil blobs on ebay?

When I saw that family with the little girl crying because of an oil blob on her foot, I thought wait a minute this is a good opportunity for another unique product on ebay. I have sold crazy stuff on ebay I love ebay!

anyway

How to market

Simply take a digicam of your little child with oil attached package it up in ziploc bag and repeat. It wouldnt take long acquiring enough little ziplocs say about 20-30. You could even have children having play fights with it.

How to mail,

Priority mail small flat-rate box wrap oil in a secondary layer PO provides tyvek wrapper for free since you are using that service (priority) this is free. The oil won't leak out....


I would do a buyitnow 9.99 shipping 5.20

oversea shipping 12.99 and discount shipping up to 4 packs a box so people can share . This would be a huge hit in Europe and over in the Middle east since most of the people hate you guys.

I'm sure you would have no problems aside from the actual post office, they might have a problem with it.

And BP once they catch on. HA!

If this is a joke its in very poor taste..


if you are serious...then i dont even know what to say...


low brow JBL... really low brow... from the guy who always is claiming to just want to help.....

I know Ebay would probably halt the auction, I used to sell lots of Nazi reading material I bought from book auctions and ebay would stop some of them!

Per BP? You could argue in court HOLD the bus my little child had this stuff clinging to her so that makes it my property! Gloria Alred could be the lawyer, she likes sleaze.

Who in their right mind would want an oil blob?

I dont' get it.

I am hoping this was just a passing thought due to the fact that unusual items have been sold on Ebay. Not funny at all!!!

You'd be surprised. I was in Alaska when Mt. St. Helens blew, and we had all kinds of requests from relatives to send them some ash in an envelope. Part of owning a piece of history, I guess...

If e-bay had been around back then, I'll bet people would have been selling packets of ash too....

Possible but the only thing I can think of seeing how it's a petrolchemical it is technically classed as a biohazard substance and a flammable substance which makes it unshippable via USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Airbourne Express. A "Pick Up Only" option will have to be the only method of delivery.
