10 Very Strange Items Sold on eBay
Here’s a fun post for you…
eBay can be a very odd place, given that you can sell almost anything you want. Here is a list of some very strange auctions that have been recently listed.
1) TV part: Producers of the TV show Ally McBeal once used eBay to auction off a walk-on part on the show.
2) Wedding dress: Nothing usually strange about selling a wedding dress, but the seller of this one was auctioning his ex-wife’s dress. He modeled it and added a long piece of writing about his ex-wife in the description. It sold for £3,850.
3) Girlfriends: Some girls actually auctioned their services as “imaginary girlfriends”, who would send the winning bidder pictures of themselves, love letters etc, which the winner could then use to pretend they had a girlfriend.
4) Virginity: An 18-year-old British girl sold her virginity on eBay, but fortunately it was bought by a kind businessman who agreed to give her the money without actually wanting anything in return.
5) Toenail clippings: If you can believe this, a girl sold her toenail clippings on, one clipping from each toe. She got a $1 for the set of 10. What a bargain for the sense of satisfaction the buyer received from winning the auction.
6) Britney Spears’ gum: Yup. Someone picked up some gum chewed by Britney Spears’ at a London hotel and came to the conclusion that it would be a good idea to sell it on eBay. Oddly enough, the seller was right and raked in $263 for it!
7) Fighter jet: A state brokerage in Virginia sold a U.S. Navy F/A-18A Hornet jet fighter for just over a million bucks. However, it was in pieces and unusable, but the seller offered to put it back together and make it ready to fly for the low price of $9 million.
8 ) Virgin Mary sandwich: A woman listed a grilled cheese sandwich that she claimed the Virgin Mary had appeared to her on, and if you can believe it, the sandwich sold for $28,000. All I can say is wow!
9) Kidney: One man tried to sell his kidney on eBay. I guess it’s okay because you only need one, right? Unfortunately it’s illegal to buy or sell human organs. Very imaginative though.
10) A ghost: Can you believe it? Not only was it a ghost, but it was a ghost in a jar. Hummm… The ghost was apparently terrorizing a man and so he decided to capture it and sell it on eBay to someone who might be able to give it a better home. Maybe he should write up an instructional ebook on how to capture a ghost in a jar and sell that on eBay.
