Win a Halo friend in the greatest Ebay auction of them all photo

Do you want a good friend on Xbox's greatest new game Halo 3? Wish you had someone to play with? Well here's your chance! Yes, for those us who have Xbox Live and for some reason haven't added a single friend, this is the auction for you. A self-confident chap called nismofrontier has set up a bidding war for his companionship on Live so YOU can play Halo 3 with him as best friends forever.

I know your thinking, I can be anyone's friend. Well you'll have a great friend to chat with and play with all the time. There's only one of me and no one just like me!  We can play games together in a room and chat. I will play with you more then just Halo 3, any games I have that you have, we can play together as well. We can use the chat option and message each other back and fourth.

If bidding reaches $1,500.99 I will include a HALO 3 Game SIGNED by me that will be un-opened! You never know, I may be famous one day!

With the bidding starting at only $0.99, what's to stop you?

 What a steal for a great new best friend! Once payment is received via paypal, I will message you my gamertag name and let take fun times begin! A lifelong gamer friendship!

This is actually the greatest Ebay auction I've ever seen. I don't know what's more pathetic though -- the fact that this guy is selling his companionship like some desperate prostitute, or the fact that if he was a woman, the bidding would have passed that $1,500.99 mark by now. All I do know is that I'm currently offering Destructoid's readers my adding of them to Yahoo Instant Messenger for the frugal sum of eight bucks an add. Don't delay, add me today!

[Thanks to Brian Hackney]

Haha-- don't have any friends? Buy em!

That's like when they said "Don't have any sex partners? Buy em!"

Maybe we'll have Halo 3 friends roaming the streets and alley ways.

That's not a bad idea. I'm gonna start selling my Wii friend code online.

Won't last. I give it till the end of the day. I tried to sell my myspace friendship on eBay and was told it violated eBay's terms and was warned. :(

did you see the question on the Q and A sheet? "Are you that desperate for a buddy. I doubt that you are worth the money when someone can just play XBox live. Get a life."

zomg can you say innernet famous! Your right Jim, this has to be the best Ebay auction of all time. I just hope he is at least 21, otherwise the BFF might get kind of creepy. Also, does "once and a lifetime deal" mean you get him as your best friend for a lifetime? =P

Alright this kid is jacking up his own auctions. I doubt anyone would bid 8 dollars for this.

It's already up to $7.50. Does that cover the listing fee, or is he actually out a few bucks at this point?

$1500.99 and you get a signed copy of Halo3? What the hell kind of over head does this guy have to need such a markup. This guy rocks, I wonder what would stop the guy from taking your money, adding you to his friends list, play one game of Halo3, Teabag you, boot you out of the room, and remove you from his friends list and then give you bad feed back....all that = epictacularness.

It's up to $35 and he's taken down the Buy It Now. And just when I was about to bid $4,000.

Wow, looks like this guy just really wants a friend to play Halo 3 with... Maybe he should be the one paying?

Apparently his friendship doesn't apply to Canadians. I couldn't place my bid cause he only has shipping specified for USA.

/me sniffles and wipes the maple syrup from his eye.

I can't tell what to believe more. That he has atleast 13 bids with $20 (possibly WmV337) or that'll end tomorrow without reaching his goal. Still, the winning bidder better get a receipt.
