Wow... how is that site still online? It looks like it hasn't been updated in years. It's like a friggin meme time capsule from 2009.

I doubt they actually paid...

Lots of those bidders look legit. The second highest bidder has over 1000 feedback.

This person just traded her packet of Szechuan sauce for a Volkswagen:

Rachel Marie was lucky enough to get ahold of a packet of Szechuan sauce. According to The Drive, Marie intended to trade it online for a set of pins. Instead, she was offered a MkIV GTI. It's a good one, too, with a five-speed manual and Volkswagen's20-valve 1.8-liter turbocharged inline-four. This writer was very close to buying a similar car a decade ago.

It's not clear what state the car is in, but the trade seems to be worth it (unless it needs a new timing belt). Still, congrats to Rachel for cashing out before McDonald's brings the sauce back in full force sometime next month, tanking the Szechuan sauce market by flooding it with new currency.

Cryptocurrency: Blockchain as a technology will certainly find some uses. x-coin as an "investment" will certainly wipe out some retirement nest eggs.

Tech stocks are in another bubble, with crazy valuations for "social" and "gig economy" companies that will never turn a profit.

I want to say that was stupid of him, but buying that and then sharing it is probably a good brand and business move. Fan loyalty and good press are important in the entertainment business.

Crazy. Here you have starving people in Venezuela and we are paying upwards of $15,000 and trading cars on some sauce.
