I did the same thing with a box of cereal my brother bought, I did it just to stir up so fun, I never paid for it though, and he never gave me the cereal. Right before i left for work I was talking to him seriously about buying his box of cereal, and I was like " I want you to think about this before you accept my money" ( i was offering him $50) and I just left, I come home and my whole family bombards me asking why i need his cereal so badly, and I was laughing at all the conclusions they had came to.

Also, platinummike, he handed me 2 $100 bills that are real and walked away. I am sure you wouldn't let your brother hold the cereal and the $50...

maybe he is looking for some true friends. $200 is cheap to find out if you are just another money hungry heartless just some guy he works with. a true friend will offer to buy him the water bottle for free. the sharpie guy obvious lost him as a friend.

Your HR person would immediately contact the stated employee, at least any decent HR person would.

Do you know how overworked, underpaid, stressed out, and just plain un-caring most basic HR staffers are? Didn't think so She probably thought HE was the nutcase, calling to ask a question like this, heh.

Get this...a co-worker starts talking to me and i drink out of this water bottle i got a year ago and he is like "i will buy that bottle off of you for $200." He is typically really tight with his money and doesn't do wierd stuff like this. Given, i am at the work place and it seems kind of fishy. So i have this water bottle and i need to decide (according to him) to sell it to him for $200 by the end of the day. Would you do it at a workplace? Does it seem fishy? what would you do?
p.s. His GF just got her car stolen and supposedly he did this with another co-worker for a sharpie and the co-worker took the $100. What the hell?!

UPDATE:
He came in this morning on time and happy as can be. I just had a chance to talk to him and he brought up the subject. He said he would tell me what is going on later. I am impartial to the guy, he is just acting wierd. I did not sell the water bottle and it was still here this morning
He seems to really have no recollection of it. He gave me a look like "wtf?" when I asked if i could get that $200 of him for the water bottle

A man walks down the street and sees this bar that's just packed, so he goes in to see what the deal was. After waiting in line a while, he manages to get to the bar. He asks how much a beer was. Bartender replies, "Five cents". Guy thinks, "Wow, that's really cheap, must be some sort of special promotion they're having". Guy asks, "Well how about that bottle of Grey Goose"? Bartender says, "Five cents, in fact anything you want is only five cents tonight". Guy goes, "Oh wow, this is some crazy promption you guys are having. Are you the owner of this bar? How can you afford to be selling everything for only a nickle?" Bartender replies, "Nah, I'm not the owner. He's at my house screwing my wife, so I'm here screwing him".
Around here, if every beer was 5 cents everyone would still be drinking Bud Light. It's a sad fact.
It seems to have that same unidentifiable addictive quality as Diet Coke...
