Authentic NDN names on eBay

[WhoMe]

Okay,

they were able to sell a potato chip with a picture of J. Christ on eBay (in addition to hundreds of other wacky ways to get rich quick) *L

What if someone went on eBay and sold "authentic" Indian names?

Is there a market?

Are people that gullible?

Would it be more popular than the J. Christ potato chip?

Would YOU purchase one??????

*LOL

Sorry to hear that you're down on your luck WM - hope that you get some other ideas to make a lil extra cashish! A frybread or NDN taco stand might rake in some big coin!

some sold his soul and someone bought it for 16.00 ... someone sold a ticket stub to star wars 2 and someone bought it (sorry could'nt resist LOL) and someone paid a buttload of money for a grilled cheese sandwich.......... indian names, fake or not would go for quite a bit LOL! WhoMe, if you were selling I'd buy one just to see what you would name me ROFLMAO... as long as you did'nt name me Sucker with a Wallet!

How much u selling them ndn names 4? I'll take one!!! LOL

[badmaninc]

I have a really goooooood imagination and therefore would be able to help with some names, complete with the origin of the name and how you must be tested to ensure you have earned your name. Additionally, will tell the people will have to have giveaway items for the people witnessing the event, despite it being on Ebay. If you want to have me involved I am willing to provide assistance.

[Sparklebeadz]

Hmmmm now im wondering what kind of ebay indian name i would get...... i know my husband would go for Shops-to-much, or To-Many-Shoes.

Selling NDN names on Ebay? WhoMe, shame on you! You know some wannabe "shaman" is going to take that idea and run with it. Your right, though, if people are willing to buy potato chips with an image of J. Christ on it...well...you know what they say about a fool and his dollar.
On a serious note, I get peeved by these wannabe "shamans" and others like them. I think they do more to prolong the stereotypes placed on us than any other groups out there. I've heard of some of these on the internet..seen some of their sites. Sad..just sad. I found this website just now.

WhoMe, if you were selling I'd buy one just to see what you would name me ROFLMAO... !

BBear,

If I were to give you a name, I would be influenced by your Avitar name and Location (Alaska where they have perpetual darkness in the winter).

Using this formula, I would name youuuuuuu.....





"Hibernatin' Booty!"

*LOL

It would include a certificate and an accompanying "certificate of authenticity" (like they do on the Hamilton Collection plates of "Indian themed" plates, porcelain dolls and artwork - now that's a real slap in the face)!!

Numunu,

This post was TOTALLY "tongue in cheek!" I can't believe (okay, yes I can) that Indian names are available on the internet.

What will they think of next?
