This is what a million dollar Mike Trout lot looks like...

[phillyfan0417]

Well, he's willing to listen to offers...

I'm not sure what prospect handbook he's looking at but I've never heard of Mantle and Williams...

 

[jbone17]

I'll take 6 lots at that steal of a price! ^_^

 

[phillyfan0417]

Shipping is free...

I wouldn't even consider it if there were 3 less zeros. What is this guy shmurkin?

 

[swish54_99]

What brand is Trystar?

 

[Austin]

It has a Best Offer option.
I'm going to try to get a steal with a lowball offer of $750,000. Wish me luck, guys!

I actually thought this was going to be a link to the Trout Chrome Superfractor auto rookie that's been on eBay for more than a year for $500,000, and he either doubled the price or someone bought it to flip for a million.

Beckett Rookie Rolodex did in fact compare him to Mickey Mantle.

This is what a deranged eBay seller thinks a million dollar trout lot looks like.

That's why it's a million dollars, duh! The elusive 1/0. They're the new 1/1s.

 

[rickeyfanatic]

Funny how he keeps posting the questions people asked, so I went ahead and asked him too

Good lord. The price tag is totally insane, but you know what else bugs me about this listing? It's the last 5 digits:

$1,000,500.99

This guy couldn't just list it for a nice, round, cool million. He had to tack on another $500, you know, for his handling fees. OK whatevs. But it's not $500, it's $500.99! Look, this whole fascination with prices ending in 9's is so you don't have to roll over that first digit and the price looks smaller. $9.99 looks smaller than $10.00. Right, right? So here's this guy with a MILLION dollar price tag, plus that extra $500, but just couldn't stop himself there. He just HAD to add the $0.99 on the end. So exactly what effect was he going for with that $0.99? I'm not that much into smileys, but in this case...

You're acting like the guy is an idiot and his asking price is serious.
He deliberately made it that way so hundreds of people on message boards would talk about it and hopefully some would send him serious Best Offers. It's a marketing ploy and it's obviously working.
