weirdest internet auction you've ever seen
 

What's the weirdest internet auction you've ever actually seen (not just heard about or seen in an article)? My weirdest would've been on ebay. It would be between a guy's soul, a girl offering herself as a prom date, or an original picture of the world's largest cheeto. I tried to buy the guy's soul, but ebay shut the auction down.

I'm leaving this open to all the internet auction sites...not just ebay.

I once saw a:
'Slightly used timemachine, some rust otherwise perfect condition'
For sale on ebay.

i read a story about a dude that if you paid for his room and board he'd come to your house and beat you up. I think it got shut down as well, i don't know

Saw the auction for the guys soul. Wasn't ready to waste $1,000 on him though. I made it a point to search for stuff like 'soul' or 'virginity' every time I went ther afterwards though.

I seen a bloke trying to sell his finger. It got chopped off by some machine at work... no thanx

hang on meri, did you say finger?
i´ll pay for that!!

maybe that miner who cut his arm off just needed a bit of cash.

The big cheeto was funny. I saw a carrot that split while growing and resembled a vagina. There was recently a spoof auction in which a guy was selling a do-it-yourself vasectomy kit. All on eBay.

I saw an auction for an arcade video game with a small amount of smoke damage.

The picture was of a cabinet burned to the ground. It got bids! $0.10, $0.25, y'know.

the town they sold on ebay

some guy's pubes were up for grabs a while ago on eBay

I saw some guy who was selling 'nothing'.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1469

Was his name Scott Tenorman?

What was the shipping charge?

"Ghost in a pizza box"
"Lend me 50 bucks until next Friday"
"My left kidney" (This took three days to shut down, at which point bidding was at 63 million US dollars.)

Somewhere on e-bay is an entire section dedicated to selling funeral home stuff, equipment, signs, etc.

I once sold a (very) used hot-air popcorn popper on eBay. Couldn't believe it sold!

toast in a jar.

www.cockeyed.com

somebody paid 14.50 for it

Saw a link for a guy who was selling his fart sealed up in a jar on ebay.

People these days... *sigh* lmao.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon...with nail polish.


(For some reason this just came to mind. Probably because of the finger auction.)

It's been a while but I saw an auction on Ebay for 4 or 5 (can't remember the exact number) skinned fox heads. Had a nice picture of them too. :confused:

damnit, why did they shut down the kidney auction? thats a good sale!

I remember someone sold an x-box box. For $350

awesome movie...easily one of my favorites

link...

'70'S Sex Education For Retarded Adults VHS'

This'd be a great watch after a coupla spliffs...

Yup saw the same thing too...even a ps2 box

A few years ago, a guy was selling his wife's panties. "Sealed in ziplock baggies for freshness."

Weirdest thing I saw was the ghost in a jar, and then all the accessories that went with it. Ghost in a jar travel trailer, ghost in a jar vacation home, etc.

I hear theres a guy whos wanting to get like a mil for a 7 inch french fry

To me, the weird ones aren't really all that weird. It's the outlandish ones that freak me out.

Like the entire TOWN that was being auctioned off for a starting bid of $10 million.

Or the MiG jet(s).

Etc.

The weirdest one I saw was some guy trying to sell his boogers. Had pictures and everything.

Genuine bum sign

Someone's Keys?

Vintage ATM receipt

I'll post more as i find them. searching for "pule" on ebay gets some interesting results.

I rememeber a few months ago some guy was selling a Strong Bad breakfast burrito (only 3/4 left, plate not included). It was just a breakfast burrito with no connection to Strong Bad except the name. It was pretty weird. I think it sold for around $15-$20...

Damn, what are you searching for when you guys find these things? really thats crazy! I can't believe people have paid for these things. Or people have actually paid to put these auctions up... wtf?

I saw somebody auction an X-Box. He even had a picture of it. It was a shoebox with an 'X' on it. Reeled in over $400 for it.

Just to prove you can sell just about anything on ebay, I decided to try and sell a regular $5 on ebay. Nothing special about it. I just took a $5 bill out of my wallet and put it on ebay. I ended up selling it for $7. After fees and all though, I only got about $5.50 back. Guy left me a positive feedback though...

The box selling thing is a classic hoax.

I've seen someone selling time machine aswell, but air guitar was even better. The seller had wrote a really good ad text for it. :)

You have to realize, almost all of these weird auctions with crazy bids probably never get a paying bidder.

I would say 4/5 of the items with good selling prices get non-paying bidders. My friend sold a computer for 900$ on ebay.. how much did he recieve? 0$...

it is a sad state.. i really hope the guy who sold nothing recieved his 14.50$... his ad was funny as well.

OMG DENIM!!!

ROFL That's hilarious!

I saw rusty nails for sale. It wasn't the NIN bootleg either, it was a few rusty nails.

Hey! I saw that one!

Also I saw a woman selling her exhusband. There was a parrot in a cage on the photo and she even included 'Sorry the parrot is not included in this sale!'.

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?? :hmm: :D

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

Just check out the Weird Stuff category on eBay - lots of odd auctions there. I've seen a petrified half eaten Big Mac for sale on eBay too (eww)

Anyone else remember the parents who sold the right to name thier child on ebay?
Also, I once saw someone selling thier dog's hair on ebay.

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

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.

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.

a date with 4 complete and utter geeks
