OT: Wedding Dress Guy on eBay

I just copied this from eBay news.

***eBay Radio Exclusive: The Wedding Dress Guy*** Date: 04/28/04 Time: 05:15:11 PM PDT

We interrupt our regular broadcast schedule to bring you an eBay Radio exclusive!

Griff (Jim Griffith), Dean of eBay University, talks with Larry Star, the seller behind one of the most popular and humorous listings ever placed on eBay. Nearly six million people have viewed the listing, and Larry has since appeared on CNBC, The Today Show and MSNBC.

Ok, yeah, it was funny, and yeah, a lot of people have been thru his listing...but dayuuuuum that seems a bit much!

How long will it be before his ex sues him for "her" dress? and sites it as a gift, so she can actually lay claim to it?

He was smart enough to cancel the 'stupid' bids and ended up with $3,000 and change for it. Plus a radio interview with the guy on eBay, and some mention of his band.

Smart guy, not only did he make more for the dress than he paid for it, but he got free advertising for his band, his writing and the appearance fees for the TV shows.

Can't be bad, eh?

Saw him on the news last night, interviewed him in the dress. The first thing I thought was that he has very nice white teeth. lol

He sounded pretty bemused by the whole thing in the radio interview. He's not made the news in the UK yet so I've only heard interviews from online.

I'm sending the link out to one of the BBC radio guys who loves this sort of thing. Maybe he'll even get a mention on the Beeb!

I haven't seen any of the interviews, but I loved his eBay add. It was hilarious.

The marketing he received in return is priceless. I wonder if he'll always be known from this day forward as the Wedding Dress Guy.

Apparently he's found the gloves that go with the dress.....
