How goofy is that!!!! ya pay $10.00 for the damned thing but it costs you $26.00 in shipping!! yaaaaa right!!!

SCR: ya think we could start a business here?!!!!!!

i got this off a horse list i belong too.. a lady in florida actually supported their idea stating it was similar to her being surrounded by sea shells and she could care less about having one..but they gather and sale them all over the world..

umm not quit the same thing here.... they are intrusive and grow EVERYWHERE. and spread to annoying porportions not to menton they are a major fire hazard.....her comparison had no merit so she sounded as lame as these people selling tumbleweeds..

I offered to swap her a tumble weed for some large sea shells..id pay my shipping and she could pay hers..still waiting on her reply *snicker*

If this is the same folks I saw on T.V.~ they sell the tumbling tumble weeds (sorry just had to!) to Ralph Lauren and such for displays and ads. They claim to make a tidy sum...

well that doesnt say much for ralph..like they dont have staff that could drive out in the country..and we wonder why we are in dire straights financially

"in New York  City ? " ..LOL  I just wish I had thought of this first!

Spam Code:TQEAL.... tequila? nope way too early  Maybe it is time to start Spam Code Scrabble again?

How do you ship a tumbleweed?   Do you just wait for a strong wind and hope the tumbleweed will roll to the customer?

AUDREY: Veerrryyyyyyyyyy carefully!!!!!  LOL!!!!

 OMG  what has that guy been smoking??? 

Tumbleweeds.  Now you know why they're so valuable.

The sad part of this is that this guy is SERIOUS...hope he didn't reproduce and pass on those fine qualities for future generations

I work in a storage place...we can store,,and smoking tumbleweeds wow and here I have been spending money on drugs I could have gone outside and pick it for free...lol

Ling: They walk among us and breed too

You guys apparently don't understand advertising or eBay.  He has 550 hits on that auction.  On a good auction I might get 20.  Most have revolving pictures of all the other items the seller has up for aucton so every time someone hits on the tumbleweed it calls attention to his other auctions.  If nothing else, people wonder what ese the guy is selling.  Anyone need a saddle?

Crazy like a fox.

Nancy its not just the ebay selling its a family too link on my forst comment...

Sage Ralph has connection to a flying machine im sure..a walk in the country wouldnt be a that big deal on one of his excursions.. ..ya have to get out of your limited bubble when it comes to big money hon' ..lol

One Christmas when I was in high school I took a medium sized tumbleweed and put it on my chestof drawers and decorated it.  I thought it was cute.

Anyway Sioux, I still say putting it on ebay was a great marketing tool.  For whatever reason.

He's now at 660 hits.

and we are probably helping him laughing...not all of them are lookin at his other items they are just wanting a laugh..but i aint arguin with you on ebay skills hahah i bow to your experience

I'd love to have a gimmick to bring that many lookers to my skimpy auctions.  Better yet. I'd like bids..LOL.

First Hubby's aunt lived in Washington.  She had a tumble weed spray painted gold, hanging upside down from a swag chain in her living room.  She thought it was BEAUTIFUL!  I guess with all that lush greenery day after day, a dried up stickery plant could be a nice change of pace.  Beauty is, after all in the eye of the beholder.
