I still think the guy who tried to sell his soul on ebay should’ve been allowed to…
Here’s a nice one…

Except, anybody who’s the kind of person who would bid on those, probably already has the real thing. Or maybe they’re an improvement…
Ha Ha! What great finds!
…I think the best thing ever auctioned on eBay, though, was a lifesize driveable replica of SpeedRacer’s Mach 5, complete with lipstick red leather interior, a homing pigeon, front drills and other crazy features. I think it went for like $150+ K. It was rad. (Unfortunately, the item is no longer in the database so I can’t provide a link.)
Talk about finds! We were at an estate sale this a.m. looking for some old hand planes (spouse collects) and I found a cribbage board that was made of an acrylic sheet (with holes drilled) bolted onto half of a bowling pin. I have a friend who LOVES cribbage, LOVES bowling, and is getting married in 6 months. ooooh baby, a wedding gift for $4. What a marvelous find. It came complete with a cartoon picture of a skunk painted under the acrylic (for the skunk part of cribbage).
Of course, I COULD auction it on e-bay…

Ah, eBay. The place where I once sold a cardboard box full of hangers. The buyer turned out to be starting up a discount clothing store.

I remember seeing someone selling the box to their Playstation. Some poor kid bought it for $40, thinking it was a real Playstation. Unfortunately, the title said “Playstation Box!”. Buyer beware.
I remember seeing an auction on ebay for a 2 pound bag of cigarette butts. Now, what exactly would you do with that?
It was a 14 year old boy who put his soul on ebay. Im not sure if kids can sell anymore. He got $5.00 for it & the buyer got a paper saying he owns it.

Ebay actually had to make a public statement on souls. The gist was:
There either is no soul, in which case the seller can’t deliver, or there is a soul, the sale of which is prohibited as you can not auction off body parts.
