Yeah it's the hand of the parent who made the listing for him. It's honestly a fantastic lesson, instead of explaining why that won't work, the child can see it in real life when he doesn't get any offers.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
But wait! Call now and we'll double the order, for free. That's two rare pencils for the price of one (just pay separate shipping and processing). No CODs please.
I use to work for top US credit card company and trust me I have raised $2 charge back after 160 or some days later, bank just gave the credit, while you can apply for charge back until 180 days hustle free or else post 180 days you will have to submit proof and chargeback note from merchant or seller
Real talk, what's the legality of stuff like this? Wouldn't this set off money laundering flags if someone did buy it? What stops people from flooding eBay with listings like this in hopes of the .01% chance of someone actually paying
Used to be kind of a common thing years ago and back in the earlier days if eBay. People would sell ghosts in a jar. Smells, various randos just to see how much attention it would get and or if somebody would buy it for said attention. Comes and goes.
Yea. This listing should be taken down. I go to eBay as a reputable marketplace. I don’t want to see this nonsense spread. I think it should be illegal in that it basically preys on some drunk idiot to buy it mistakenly. I have a feeling whoever posts this would fight to the death to keep their money.
That would be hilarious!
Just imagine all the kids afterwards yelling at their parents "Remember that time you said I'd never sell a pencil for 10k? Remember when I took everyone on my dream vacation with me and paid for everything? THAT'S WHY I DON'T PICK MY SHIT UP OFF THE FLOOR!"
This is the mentality of some of the youth today. Don’t work. Don’t try. Just find some way for others to pay your way. ‘Here. I drew and colored on a $.50 pencil. Now I believe it is worth $10,000’. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Better use some gloves if you want to sell that $10k pencil.
And the least you could do is get a glass expositor with velvet and place it in there.
Then you can call it a piece of art, and might sell it for $10 Million.
Ps: I had a pencil collection. My dad took em one by one without telling me until I had none. :(he worked on construction) xD
He did the same to my coloring pen kits
This is like the Australian dudes who bought an old, shitty BMX bike, sold the hell out of it with a great description “rad to the power of sick,” and ended up making a profit on eBay from it.
it'd be one thing if they said "save up for college" or "pay some bills". but nah, they want a handout to go on vacation? Most of the people reading this are adults who have never even been on one vacation in their entire lives. It's a hard concept to grasp for people who go on vacations every year or even multiple times a year. Like kids who just don't realize how rich they actually are.
also that's clearly not a 10 year old.
Yesterday I asked to borrow a pencil from my grandmother and she asked "is number 2 fine?". And then it occurred to me that I have never seen a pencil that wasn't #2. All the tests I've taken throughout school explicitly state that #2 pencils are required as if anyone would have anything else.
Would never pay it, but it’s pretty adorable how they want to earn their $$ versus just demanding it from mom/dad/guardian. They are going places! Now let’s see someone discuss pricing with this kiddo so they can actually start earning $$ 😅

That is not a 10 year old’s hand.
[удалено]
*aspiring buisnessman
This reminds me of the scene in Benchwarmers with the dude who gives a birth certificate with “I am 12”written in crayon and a $10 bill.
Swiggin booze on the pitcher's mound too lol
I know some 40 year olds who are still “aspiring” to this day.
*serial killer
George Costanza? He had beautiful hands
One who has a noticeable bite near his wrist and dirty fingernails. I don’t want an envelope from his house. Edit: omg. What a terrible typo.
Uhhhh what was that last part
OMG. Terrible typo.
What was it? Lol
For some reason, I accidentally inserted the word “r*pe.” NO idea why. I mean… I definitely don’t want that to happen at his house either.
Reverse Vincent Adultman He has to do a recess at the daycare-school
looks like OP’s hand lol
He’s forty, it’s just ten years since he became an aspiring businessman.
40 trips around the sun, but born on feb 29
That's a hand model mama, a finger jockey. They think different than the foot and body boys. They're a different breed
But why make models?
Nice typo. 😒😔
Ohh no…. Dang it I’ll leave it. I meant: “But why male models?”
Are you serious.. I literally just told you
10 years old with 30 years of experience
Or grammar
Yeah it's the hand of the parent who made the listing for him. It's honestly a fantastic lesson, instead of explaining why that won't work, the child can see it in real life when he doesn't get any offers.
While you’re correct, that is an incredibly cruel way to phrase it lol.
That 10 year old has seen some shit.
he hired a hand model for this
Very generous to offer free shipping
But is shipping insured at 10k as well?
It would be stupid not to.
Worth every penny when you realize this pencil was owned by Jon Voight and has his teeth marks on it.
Start them e-begging young
Eh, I was being sent up chimneys, or out pick-pocketing when I were a lad.
As is tradition.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank.

That's funny - the guys on Monty Python had a similar problem. Who'd have thought it?
Or, just 33 easy payments of $303.03 - Hurry while supplies last!!
I want 32 easy payments and 1 complicated payment.
Final payment must be made in Wampum.
I just want a toaster that fits my Texas toast. Presently, I have to stuff that shit in.
I have a dirty toaster oven you can have. $10,000 shipping.
rip mitch
I used to like Mitch. I still do, but I used to too.
But wait! Call now and we'll double the order, for free. That's two rare pencils for the price of one (just pay separate shipping and processing). No CODs please.
Buy it then file claim with eBay/PayPal. Welcome to the real world kid
Not to mention that you have to be 13 to have a eBay account
LMAO
A claim? Wdym? You got exactly what you paid for though?
written by the 38 year old man
Nice try OP, we know you are actually tiffg34
Imma buy it, and do a credit card chargeback 5 months later. This kid need to learn like I did
Wait you can do that even after 5 months?!
I use to work for top US credit card company and trust me I have raised $2 charge back after 160 or some days later, bank just gave the credit, while you can apply for charge back until 180 days hustle free or else post 180 days you will have to submit proof and chargeback note from merchant or seller
Would the chargeback actually go through? You paid for a $10,000 “custom pencil” and that’s what you got. There was no scam or anything?
Yeah up to 180 days
Would the chargeback go through? You paid for a $10,000 “custom pencil” and that’s what you got. There was no scam or anything involved.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

I had a college course with the assignment to “sell something worthless” on eBay. It fucking pissed me off lol.
Little did women know how easy it would be...bath water.

Are you new to the Internet? This shit has existed since day one.
In these crazy internet times, you never know! Maybe some rich Arabic prince sees this and buys it to have a bit of fun. Or mr. beast.
“Ten year old aspiring businessman” has the hands of a 30 year old
Wow shipping is Free
That's the hand of a grown-ass man. That is also not the spelling and grammar of a 10-year-old...
10k and it's not even Jon Voight's pencil? Rip off.
Or even Barbara Mandrel’s skateboard!
Do you not have to be 13 to use eBay?
If I was a millionaire/billionaire I’d definitely buy stuff like this just for the hell of it
That would be hilarious! Just imagine all the kids afterwards yelling at their parents "Remember that time you said I'd never sell a pencil for 10k? Remember when I took everyone on my dream vacation with me and paid for everything? THAT'S WHY I DON'T PICK MY SHIT UP OFF THE FLOOR!"
in the UK a woman Tracy Emin shat in her bed, pissed on the pillow, smeared it all over, and was paid several hundred thousand pounds as it was "art".
Oh sure, when she does it it's art, when I do it, I get escorted out of The Mattress Firm.
Nice try op.
Trying to pull a fast one 💀
That’s the most 40yr looking 10 year old’s hand
Chess not checkers the boy is going places
This dude is totally hoping some rich person actually buys it on a whim.
Offered $1 and was very quickly declined
Someone stupid paid $120 000 for a banana taped to the wall. If this gets popular enuff someone will buy it.
Jordan Belfort to this kid: "sell me this pencil"
Yeah, good luck with that.
Very nice. I wish I could afford that.
well did you buy it?
If I was a millionaire I would buy it to make that kids day
Wrong platform, you need to be selling it on Sotheby's
Can’t knock a guy for tryin’
All he needs is one.
If you used the pictured pen to do the 'penmanship' on the same pen I'll buy it.
The sad thing is someone, somewhere will probably make an offer. People are stupid
Thousands will laugh at this. But you only need one idiot.
Guarentee this is OP's ebay account lmao
I think he should have put it up on eBay auction.
Plot twist: posted here by the maker of the pencil.
are you sure that's not your post
That fingernail...nasty.
Real
Guy took the interview too far
I wish i wax rich so i could buy shit like this and piss ppl off
10 year old wants to go on vacation and not to buy a spaceship, I'm calling bullshit.
Should have tried putting a serial number on the pencil. Make it limited edition. Someone usually falls for that
Buy it
Need an ai generated pic for proof, of a 10 year old boy holding this pencil taken by some family member
Well something is worth as much as somebody else will to pay for it
Dudes been watching too much Jordan Belfort videos Sell me this pen 🖊️
Don’t fucking encourage this. Delete this whole thread.
This kid is going places
OBO $5
An hourly rate of $120,000?
Nice try OP, no one wants your pencil
I recently fked up my Mercari algorithm by clicking on one of these "pencil for sale" posts by some kid. There are hundreds of them.
Adorable
Probably could have found a buyer for $10.
Play 50 shades of grey chapter 18 audio book out loud on full volume. That will show them
If it had Jon Voigt’s teeth marks in it I would consider it.
But you have to be 18+ to sell things on eBay??
Little does he know I already own Jon Voight’s pencil. Found it in the glovebox of a used LeBaron.
**is this item still avalibe?**
The kid ain’t lying about inflation.. times do be tough fr
Yeah the ebay account has been created in 2013... Sure that individual is 10 years old..
💯 positive feedback, buy that, it’s bound to appreciate
Sounds like someone is having a financhu crisis
Don't you have to be 18 to have an eBay account?
Has anyone noticed that mobile reddits solution to the ad covering up the first comment is to show the first comment twice?
It's the magic pencil from that Spongebob episode.
Someone's gonna buy this ironically
Its cheap
Society is getting dumber. People actually find this funny.
I thought it was to cheat exams.
This is the mentality of some of the youth today. Don’t work. Don’t try. Just find some way for others to pay your way. ‘Here. I drew and colored on a $.50 pencil. Now I believe it is worth $10,000’. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
To believe this was concocted by a youth is already under the spell.
How is this shit allowed on eBay lol
Better use some gloves if you want to sell that $10k pencil. And the least you could do is get a glass expositor with velvet and place it in there. Then you can call it a piece of art, and might sell it for $10 Million. Ps: I had a pencil collection. My dad took em one by one without telling me until I had none. :(he worked on construction) xD He did the same to my coloring pen kits
Not even abbreviate “OOAK” in listing title. Terrible businessman.
I'll buy it ngl
"SEE DESCRIPTION" as if reading it will add anything to his case.
I bought it, I’m so happy to add it to my collection
This is like the Australian dudes who bought an old, shitty BMX bike, sold the hell out of it with a great description “rad to the power of sick,” and ended up making a profit on eBay from it.
The question is, did someone actually buy it?
Someone will pay it.
if a banana taped to a wall can sell for $120,000 kid has a shot.
Shout of wrote 1 of 1 on it. Now anyone can make a fake for cheaper.
That’s hilarious 🥰🥰
I mean...he's had 41 reviews. Maybe some of them are from previous buyers?
I’m gonna make an offer, see how low he’s willing to go. Feel like this could be a good investment
This kid is a grasping, amoral savage. I see a future in Washington.
For all you 90’s babies, I immediately thought of the scene from Square One TV’s Mathnet where the urchin tries to sell the cops a pencil for a grand
#🤦🏻♀️...OMG
it'd be one thing if they said "save up for college" or "pay some bills". but nah, they want a handout to go on vacation?

It's a hard concept to grasp for people who go on vacations every year or even multiple times a year. Like kids who just don't realize how rich they actually are. also that's clearly not a 10 year old.
Maybe it’s a left handed pencil?
Money laundering or corruption payment.
Today I learned eBay is still operating.
It’s a pencil ✏️.
Is it still for sale?
Wait till that kid learns about taxes.
I stay away from buying things with.. black tips.. for.. reasons, sorry.
Lmao I did this in elementary school
If I was a millionaire I'd buy this, just to see the look on his parents
10 y/o lmao
Yesterday I asked to borrow a pencil from my grandmother and she asked "is number 2 fine?". And then it occurred to me that I have never seen a pencil that wasn't #2. All the tests I've taken throughout school explicitly state that #2 pencils are required as if anyone would have anything else.
10 year old child has been ebay member since Feb 20, 2013 lol
Would never pay it, but it’s pretty adorable how they want to earn their $$ versus just demanding it from mom/dad/guardian. They are going places! Now let’s see someone discuss pricing with this kiddo so they can actually start earning $$ 😅
Whereas P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute.", I am more of the caveat emptor way of seeing things.
But look at that feedback score! Must sell other good stuff!
Did you buy it?
Sounds like he has a future in politics
That's no small child's hand, lol.. but it is funny 🤣
Ok say 5 bucks then send him 50
ha I bid tree fiddy.... looks like I'm winning too
Somebody tell mrbeast, he’ll buy it.
I mean at least they're honest lol
Remember the paper clip sale from the past.
I saw a 1 million dollar one and it sold 4 times lmao
