Probably “accidentally “ listed them incorrectly so that their buddies can win the auction.

“Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by incompetence”.

We’re talking about government employees listing miscellaneous crap for auction that THEY aren’t personally profiting off of.

Heck, I’ve even found deals on eBay from personal sellers, simply because they couldn’t be bothered to do even a small amount of research to see what they were selling and what they usually sell for (eg. Found some items for 1/10 market price because the seller didn’t know what it was, what to list it as, and what it’s worth).

When it comes to governments, always assume malfeasance first! 😉

Aw man, I was hoping you would have a boomerang cause you’re Australian. One time I tried to order a hat with a real crocodile band and crocodile teeth from a store in Australia but it wouldn’t ship to the US. So there are good things you can get in Australia but can’t get here.

I have black belt ranking in Kenpo, Jujutsu, Ninjitsu, and Hapkido. Have studied Judo, Shaolin Kung Fu, Krav Maga, and other Karate forms.

I was teaching Hapkido, street self-defense, restraint techniques, cane and short sticks (quit teaching after a neck injury from tree felling accident).

I like all the different styles. I tried boxing, but never got comfortable with taking punches and not using my feet or grappling🤣

Cool story: My father knew my Hapkido Grandmaster (Dr. Jung Hwan Park) when they were fighting in Viet Nam. GM was captured and tortured pretty badly by the VC, but escaped. He is a frigging amazing person, and the best martial artist I have ever trained with.

Had two boomerangs gifted by relatives from Oz. My mom tried to throw them away. They just came right back 😜
