$1 oil, $99 delivery fee. Everybody on eBay in 1999 knows this trick.

That's such an old school reference, and yes, I sold beanie babies on 1999 eBay for cashier's checks in the mail, all the while thinking "There just has to be a better way." I remember when it all moved to PayPal, saved that trip to the mailbox.

I remember receiving a money order for a Short Sword of Ykesha that my buddies and I would farm in EverQuest. You could get $200-$250 per sword back in '99, before selling game items were banned.

Don’t forget the classic “You are bidding solely for the barrel container. Any oil that is included inside is free of charge.” to get around not for resale terms.
