If there's something I love to do, it's to go to concerts. I actually went to one last night and had a whale of a time.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way, and opportunistic individuals looking to make good money have taken notice.
I read an article this morning stating that concertgoers have taken to eBay to sell sealed plastic bags containing air collected at the venue during the concert!
I assumed that it had to be some kind of joke, but upon deeper research, it became clear this was no hoax.
In fact, some of these air-containing bags are going for hundreds -- if not thousands, and people are actually placing bids!
You're probably wondering how someone would even know for sure whether the air was really collected at the time of the event, or just done at, say, that person's house. I raised the same question, but I can only surmise that there's a way to certify the air as being authentic. Perhaps the seller photographs himself or herself at the event with the bag in hand?
Regardless, it's flabbergasting to see what consumers are willing to throw their money at these days. I understand that entertainers have many doting fans who would do anything to get their hands on tickets and into these often-sold-out events. Getting signed memorabilia or even articles of clothing worn by these stars makes sense. But what would they get out of having air in a sealed bag? Once it's opened, the air goes out and you're left with nothing!
It just goes to show you that there's a market for practically anything. Who knows -- someone out there just might be willing to buy that old, dirty sock you've had stored in your attic for 30 years.
What's your opinion on this? Do you think people who would actually buy a plastic bag with air purported to be from a concert are out of their minds?
