As funny as that is, you actually CAN invest your money in funds that buy out old peoples' life insurance policies at like 50-60 cents on the dollar. With my luck I'd buy out the guy who lived to 123 years old and I'd die before him!!!

Looks fishy...If he had a better history of the items bought, maybe, but if you check out the items he has bought you'll know what I mean.

and all of those low buck items were all bought and sold in the past couple weeks. looks like he is trying to build some credibility with positive feedback with the small items in hopes of making a bigger score. i can't believe he has gotten over 100 bids.

I'll bet you his buddies are bidding the price up and once he gets another fish to bite they drop back....just a thought.
