But you might have to move quickly! I’m not sure how long it will be listed for sale.
I dunno … this is just too weird to pass up.
If you go to this link, you can buy something called “This is a test product and nothing will be sent to you” from Amazon.com. There are four resellers. Two only want $0.01 for it but one guy wants twenty bucks. But you have to pay about five bucks shipping charge.
The customer reviews are worth going to the site to read.
Quote:
“I was thrilled beyond belief when I saw Amazon was selling, “This Is a Test Product and Nothing Will Be Sent to You.” $4.99 shipping and handling is a bit steep, but we all know how fragile a pound of Test Product can be so I assume that the packaging & handling must warrant it. I have to wonder though … do they package it up and then just store it in a warehouse somewhere?
I hastily pressed “Buy with 1-Click®” with an almost orgasmic delight! I can now daydream about what I might have received if they had actually sent me the Test Product. Was it some sleek new notebook computer? A successor to the iPhone? An improved K-Y Your+Mine? Slinky negligée? One of those cool inflatable cars?
Ooooh! I get tingles ruminating over all of the tasty possibilities.
The best $5 I ever spent on nothing.”

Great!
Dan, It’s a book . That’s what
Amazon sells among other things. And what a great title. A great subject to be writing about also. Think of the possibilities. Four or five dollars seems about right for the postage and handling also. Lena
It’s not a book. It’s absolutely nothing. (Would a reseller be willing to send you a book for $0.01? There are two who are. But I’ll send you absolutely nothing for even a penny.)
Dan, you should write about Kafka in Red Room
Thanks for the suggestion.
Red Room is a real scam. They want $250 !! to be an “author” on their page. A lot of people have evidently given them the money. That’s not for me.
But I have signed up for their free “community” level membership and I usually submit a blog for their weekly theme. I allow myself to be a little more “artsy-craftsy” on that page. Last week’s theme was Kafka but I didn’t write one because I know very little about him.
This week’s theme is “Freedom” and I did write one. You can find it at:

There are half a dozen or so other blogs that I have written there too.
