Daney21

Dana Stillwagon (or "Daney21") is an eBay user who attempted to auction off her children's Beyblade toys to punish them because she claimed that the boys had severely damaged one of the bathtubs in their home. According to her listing (item #280625155361), the repairs were going to cost $500. The listing included a photo of the two boys. The youngest boy was holding a plastic bag containing the toys being sold while the oldest boy appeared to be crying. The auction attracted the attention of several popular websites, including 4chan and somethingawful. The opening bid was $89 and with 4Chan in the bidding, it soon rose to over 9000 and the highest bid eventually rose to $999,999.00 before the auction was canceled.

She sent a message to one of the 4Chan bidders that showing her frustration and perhaps realization that she was being pursued by forces way beyond her comprehension: "Do you plan to pay over $9000.00 for the beyblades or is this a joke to you because this has been a problem all day and I am going to report to ebay."

In her listing, Dana wrote:

"We are selling 8 Beyblades, 2 of them light up. As you can tell they are not happy about this! They have been using their bathtub as a "battle arena" and Beyblades + Bathtub = Destruction!!! With the metal ones they managed to scrape the enamel off the tub, take a chunk of tub out and break off the soap holder. SO if you "win" this auction DON'T play with in a bathtub!!! We have recieved a quote of $500.00 to replace the tub, some tiles, and soap holder + labor of course! They had approxamently $125.67 in their piggy banks that will be going to toward the cost. We will use the profit from this auction towards the balance and then it is onto other toys!"
