The Lunch Box

UPDATE: 8/19—Today while I was riding my bike to work the inner ceramic material in the thermos shattered, along with my heart. :-(

The following transcript is taken from an actual e-mail conversation that took place between two eBay members:

y0urm0msname: if u re-list that lunchbox (item #250276905987) for $2.99 as a buy it now...I will buy it tonight. Please consider. Thanks!

buyme09469: Sorry as much as I would like to go that low I cannot. But thank you!

y0urm0msname: I just bought a new bike (and am broke because of it) and the lunchbox would be perfect. It would fit snugly on my rear rack tied down with bungee cords i bought at Checker Auto Parts. Right now i am using plastic bags from Wal-Mart to hold the contents of my lunch and they aren't cutting it. My food doesnt stay secure, my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches get squished and my apples get bruised. Also, if I want to bring anything to drink besides water I can pretty much forget about it. Sure, I have a water bottle holder on my bike but it doesnt stay cold riding to work in the hot sun. Like today for example, I wanted to pack myself some keebler elf cookies (the chocolate ones) but realized I couldn't because I had no milk to wash them down with. If I put milk in my water bottle it would get warm and if you have ever tasted warm milk you know thats not really an option. PB&J and chocolate MUST be accompanied with milk, its common knowledge. My lunch options are severly limited because I don't have a lunch box. Ever since I laid eyes on yours I lusted after it. Make my dreams come true. I can meet you half way at 3.99 and I will buy it now. That's the best I can do. Help a brother out.

buyme09469: Ok since that is such a wonderful story I will post it for a $3.99 buy it now. Thank You!

The lunchbox should arrive Monday, I am excited to get it so I don't have to ride with a backpack anymore.
