Remember the guy who auctioned off the service of sending your friends and family bizarre postcards from a far-off location, each peppered with enough personal information to really freak them out? We covered the story back in December of ’07.
The winning bidder ended up paying $415, and they gave permission for Bryan Sack — the guy behind the idea — to post them on his website. Seven post cards were sent from locations around Poland and Berlin. Here are a few choice lines:
- “I gotta tell ya, the radio here leaves a lot to be desired. It’s like most of their music came from a flea market in Yonkers.”
- “If you send me an MP3 of you doing a Jackson 5 cover, there’s a good chance I can make you a chart-topper.”
- “A lot of the food here is delicious, but it operates under the presumption that I will be plowing a large field or operating a grain harvester.”
Can you imagine randomly getting these from someone you don’t know? I’d love to here a follow-up from the winning bidder and see how the recipient reacted.
Check out all the postcards here.
