    Unreadable text, in my opinion. What's it supposed to do, hypnotize you into bidding?

    its outrageous yes, but I couldn't help but read most of it and for that reason its pretty effective. Too over the top to really prompt a sale but its effective in keeping the readers attention.

    I like the part about "strong spirits from beyond." I think they have strong spirits in their glass, too.

    Wow, it looks like you spotted a new trend!

    It goes on for a long time, but apparently it has very "special" powers...

    Anyone want to do a jig? Looks suspiciously like a mood ring, no?

    If you can even bear to read the text, it is quite a creative ploy! My eyes did start to glaze over a bit when trying to read it.

    Thanks for this posting! It makes for some great entertainment for a Friday morning.

    Well, I think $49.99 is a bargain for "Unlimited Wishes, Vast Wealth and Unimaginable Desires"!

    Personally I love the 'silver toned metal' to describe the band. Classy.....
