weirdest internet auction you've ever seen - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

suviko · 07-04-2003, 01:58 AM

Just saw this in Huuto.net (A Finnish Ebay-like auction site).

Free translation of part of the ad text:

"Buy now a Gyro Gearloose energy cap before the heat wave hits the streets. It suits cool and neat netsurfing, modest nerd lifestyle and laid-back beach life. Ofcourse you can use it in various other lunatic or drunken activities.

Disclaimer: As electronical clothingapparel this cap doesn't replace swimming pants!"

Say what??

Anyeays, the item he is selling is an ugly white cap with solar-powered fan. Ehhh...???

MontanaXVI · 07-27-2003, 06:57 PM

ok maybe i missed it somewhere but what does pule mean when searchig for items it does pull up about 100 sales

jeenyus · 07-29-2003, 07:44 AM

Ive see someone selling nothing for money. And people were actually bidding on it.

collide · 08-19-2003, 02:47 PM

One guy was trying to sell/rent his immediate family. I kid you not.

Then there's the ocassional loony who'll buy a box of surprises (literally a box of undetermined, random items).

And then there's the used dildos. Eww. Something about reselling used sex toys is just vile and wrong.

lukeduke · 08-19-2003, 03:40 PM

I remember an auction where a guy was selling a drunken phone call. I don't know how much it went for, but I know it was over $20.
