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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!'.
