Being remarkable pays off.

Check out this hysterical listing on eBay for a pack of $10 Pokemon cards that sold for $142.51.  Why? Because the description was so fun, real, and entertaining that people wanted to help the seller.

The page has 179,000 visitors, 101 comments, 800+ people tracking the auction, and 53 bids.

Thanks to Jeremy Epstein for the tip.
