Just a tad over priced aren’t you fella.

There’s a sucker born every minute so they say.

Demand is so great for those things, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people were willing to lay down that much cabbage for one.

Is there a joke in there?

There are some consoles going for that price on EBay. Scalpers buying up lots of them and flipping for a profit. And the PS5 is white, not black.

That needs to come with 15 games with that kind of pricing

That’s obviously an Xbox series x

When new sneakers are released, people will line up overnight to be the first through the doors. A lot of them aren’t buying the shoes for themselves. They’re going to resell the just purchased shoes online for anywhere from double to ten times the cost.

Whew! I thought he had Bleeb tied up there for a minute, but then I saw Bleeb at the window. I was worried about our hero…

I guess I’ll just stay with free video poker.

What about the Rolexes you had 3 hours ago?

Yeah, you won’t be laughing when your trenchcoat catches fire…

Someone tried to do this and got robbed.

Might get that price on Christmas Eve when they are all sold out but not today pal….

“Umm, sure, why not. I mean what could go wrong with a deal like that!? I’ll take two! Thanks, pal!”

“Saaaaaay, when did Sony change the PlayStation to look like a paper shredder?!”

That’s a switch. I took a group of teens to NYC one time and one of them bought a “Rolex” from a street vendor for $5…he only got a few feet away when the whole thing sprung apart, parts flying! We never laughed so hard! It was worth $5 for the laugh!

Bleeb is saying, “Don’t do it, I have them for $1999”.

I thought he had a one-slice toaster (before I read the caption).

Bleeb has a special message:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRAFTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

How do I know that isn’t a cheap Chinese knock-off? Oh wait…they are made in China!
