I hope the sale doesn't include the patent of the word 'The' , otherwise my sentence will look like this in the future:

Are words priced on their size and complexity, like Scrabble?  If so, I need to go start a listing for 'flapjack' and 'quizzify'.

I am going to wait until the last 20 seconds and then get my bid in - no way I am going to let that little beauty get away.

I already have 'lion' and 'king',  so the full set will soon be mine :)

No, think of where real profit lies. Would you prefer a patent on MP4 players, or one on water?

On the contrary, even if you find a million euros you still won't have quite enough.

Bonkers? I'll see your bonkers and raise it to barking mad, closely followed by a bit of gibbering:

Well ........lots of club members have bought the latest 40k Rules+ Codexes, cost about the same. For me - well would be a complete CWC Motor Rifle Div, or a large 10mm Mongol army....

Cheap at twice the price then? For that money, I'd want 15 minutes with a buxom female of the sellers acquaintance as well! OK, these days 30 seconds would do I suppose... :D
