Dixie Square Mall bricks

[Steam McQueen]

I have for sale a lot of 70 bricks from one of the most famous dead malls - The Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, Illinois.

The bricks are mainly from the north entrance of the JC Penny, the west wall of the Jewel and the east wall of the Turn-Style stores. I would prefer to sell the lot of them in bulk for $1,500 but will accept reasonable offers for smaller quantities.

I have an entire wheelbarrow full of bricks that are identical in every way to the mall bricks.
I will sell them for $500

I need few bricks, but I know where to find free ones.

I'm pretty good at goldbricking, and I do it for free.

Heh, when I saw the ad, before I clicked on it, I thought the seller was going to be dixiesquare from da ol' BBC. I'm pretty sure it's not him. Now Zac and Mr. Mer are thinking, damn ... shoulda filled our trunks with bricks.

;D

I think it's a joke ad.

Anyway, here's an business idea for someone:
An overpriced, limited edition set of a blumo model car with a piece of the mall(certificate of authenticity included of course).
Those collector fools will buy anything these days.

The motive is a good question. Practical joke with a "friend's" e-mail address?

Or then no motive and absurd sense of humor(f.e. jesus' bones sales ads)?
+Testing is any one actually interested enough to pay?


And I can't see proof of any bricks anywhere else than demolition site.

I think both of these are true...

" ... the first time that this person has done a crazy ad, and he wonders if it will make money (and he doesn't make money, and then he doesn't do future crazy ads)"

And

"Testing is any one actually interested enough to pay"

First off, we have an abandoned mall here, the Apollo Mall, I'll sell you the bricks out of there for half the price! What a bargain!
Secondly, my friend Jimmy who owns about 15 57-8 Plymouths once jokingly when supposedly original Christine parts were selling for 10 times what normal Plymouth parts sell for on ebay, had listed an original bottle of Christine exhaust fumes as a joke. These morons on ebay bid on it, and more than one! There's one born every minute. He never misled anyone, never mentioned that they came from a movie car, he calls his clone Christine and that's where the fumes came from.

Maybe they should start peddling them out of the trunk of a 1991 Crown Victoria to DOUBLY earn their money back.
