So the story grew to this fable about my great grandfather finding this pendent in an Egyptian tomb and soon after died of mysterious causes. Years later my grandfather found the beetle in a box and soon died. The back story was the pendent was cursed and anyone that owned it soon died. Bidding started at a dollar and ended up going for over $300. My co-workers were freaking in shock about it and we ending up putting more crap for sale, a hunted coke can that had a ghost trying to escape, LOL stupid coke can that was dropped and bulged out. A can of soup with missing label, and so on.
Long story short, people on eBay are stupid and will buy anything.
