Only on eBay...
 
Now I love eBay, don't get me wrong. Although some of the following auctions are just so hillarious.


True Stories...

Body Bag...:lookaround:

Skeleton...:/

Genie God <--The woman who does these things is incredibly "gifted"

Goddess of fire <--My favorite.

Transform me.

A Smiling New Advertisement.

Haunted Nut.

Buy my thanks

Digital Lighter...hehe

Dating application...

Yeahhhh, read the description. :p


I found other more *ahem* things but decided against posting them.
Didn't know how the admins would feel about a link to a dwarf condom. :lol:

So what's the funniest eBay auction you've seen?
Please try not to go too overboard. :p

I like the dating auction one. :p

Ive seen some eBay ones where people sell shiny objects, take off their clothes, take a picture, and the nudity is shown on the shiny object. Its really gross.

I remember a story a while ago... I actually saw the item on eBay, too:

It was a Playstation 2 box. It was described as only being the packaging, with big bold letters declaring that the item included neither the console nor any peripherals.

When I saw it, the bidding was up to $290.

I love eBay, theres so much good rubbish on there.

Re: Only on eBay...
 
Oh, something else, too.

There was a thread on GF, like, a year and a half ago about someone who was selling an M&M they thought they saw Jesus in. The bids were up to $300 when i saw the link. Apparently, the idea caught on, and people started selling imitations for upwards of $50... The best one was a little M&M strapped to a toothpick cross with scotch tape -- going for something like $40...

Nope, I've actually never made this one before. I made one on filefreak and one about the ebay song. But not here. :p

The alcohol flask with the hobo's soul cracked me up. Also the various kidneys exhibited on eBay (always get yanked before they end), the old military missile silo in Washington (it was at $3,000,000 but probably went way higher), the father who sold his son's PS2 as a punishment, and the poor bastard who said he had no cash and auctioned off various baseball cards (don't recall any of them being worth it, though).

There's also the Burger King masks that my friend sold on there for something like a $400 profit.

Jimi Hendrix's guitar. Although that was real, it was amazing. Sold for like a bajillionmillion dollars.

Heh, I was just about to write "they can sell that?" but then I saw it was more of a replica.

Hate to see people running around with real grenade launchers... :lookaround:

The aircraft carrier for sail by some South American navy was really great. Now that was a serious sale you won't come across often. :lol:

Didn't we try to round up some money to buy that thing? (GF, I mean.)

We discussed it but concluded that we wouldn't make the bid. It would have been cool though sailing the seas and all (I won't go into "so what would your career be to finance yourself for the rest of your liffe?" :p).

We could have rented it out as a kick-ass cruise ship. :nodding:

My friend isn't one of those possibly crazy people who sell those dumb things. But he once went to see what else people would buy there, so he put up a snowball during the winter (It came in a cooler) and for some reason some one bought it.

Not sure, I probably won't see him till school starts again, though I could call him. When I call him I'll tell you.
