I made a note to check eBay today to see what sort of weird stuff fans would be selling from Saturday's legal Spectrum looting. As expected, I found a few chairs and other assorted items, but then I came across this. We'll just let the item description do the talking. ALL CAPS ALERT.

That's right, you could make the most dangerous children's swing ever constructed out of it. Or perhaps a comically large magnet for your next Warner Bros. production. The choice is yours, but they prefer pickup. Phew, that's a relief. We were really worried how USPS would classify a five foot tall "U" designed for threaded mounting.
Here's the link if you're so inclined. Remember, folks, they will take the best offer.
How can you not love this city?

I will sell one of my chairs for a lot less then $225
This is hilarious! Warner Bros. production! Classic
What are the odds some nutjob makes it his life’s quest to gather up every single letter?
Someone needs to ebay cockblock this asshole. It was only up on the building since 2002-3ish when it was renamed Wachovia Spectrum. No nostalgia or historical significance to it at all. Id pay $25 for it tops.
She could probably get in trouble from Ebay with that. Big LOL if you look through the other items they have for sale on that account.
You faggot suburb hippies never had to hustle for a buck. Mom and dad gave you all their money
james- cool it with the fag comments. and we don’t hustle for money? take a look at some of the times that this site is updated then tell me i don’t hustle. i would venture to guess most of the time you’re either asleep or drunk when i’m working on this site.
Pssst, Kyle. James is probably just trying to piss you off. They are probably from West Chester or Doylestown anyway.
You can come around juniata and see me IFC you want nick
*Oh I hope you have a lucky day*
