What's the craziest thing you've seen auctioned at an auction site?

[Loony BoB]

I once saw this guy sell someone a piece of wood with the world 'WOOD' carved into it. Hahaha, what a loser to go and buy a piece of wood like that.

[21:25:42] | [16/05] &lt;Zack> That's it, I'm going to selling cheap items on eBay and make up bull*snip* stories about them and become rich that way.
[21:25:44] | [16/05] &lt;Resha&gt; xDDDDDD
[21:25:49] | [16/05] &lt;Resha&gt; :D
[21:25:53] | [16/05] &lt;Resha&gt; Go Zack!
[21:25:55] | [16/05] &lt;Zack&gt; *I'm going to start selling...
[21:26:08] | [16/05] &lt;Cbc&gt; Heh
[21:26:21] | [16/05] &lt;Jebus&gt; Or you could be completely honest about the item, and see how much you can make.
[21:26:30] | [16/05] &lt;Cbc&gt; :p
[21:26:35] | [16/05] &lt;Jebus&gt; Like that guy that sold the piece of wood with "Wood" written on it.

xD

Also:
[21:15:28] | [16/05] &lt;Zack&gt; Here's the link to the haunted NES I mentioned.

I brought a wife off eBay, but to my disappointment, when I unwrapped her I discovered she was actually a midget; when I clearly paid full price. :(

You could have got a midget wife for free, too. (http://forums.eyesonff.com/member.php?u=690)

There are always wacky listings on ebay. One of my favorites, although not intentional, was a case in which the lister was leeching his images off another site. The owner of the domain changed the item image to massive hambeast of a women bending over. The description of the product made it even more funny.

There was a hilarious one posted on SA last week, but I forgot what it was already. :mad2:

I bought some worn Grace Jones panties. :D

[withered]

Fraud is fun.

[Little Miss Awesome]

I've heard of loads of weird things bought on Ebay!
There was a tupperware box of mud from Glastonbury, some dirty bathwater Christina Aguilera had used and a man from the Midlands who was selling himself to use for various tasks such as painting and being taken out for a meal, no one has beiided for him as yet :(

[Jess]

This is pretty dumb:

[Dr.K]

The legend that is ebay. My favourite items viewed include a jar of Branston Pickle that ended at £68, an air guitar which was an empty guitar-shaped cardboard box, and a river in Ireland for £250,000.

[Yamaneko]

This is proof that there is no God. Or at least a benevolent one.

Please, please tell me that winning bid isn't real.

I think the craziest I've heard of (before this one) is that thing with the bitten grilled cheese sandwich that supposedly had an image of the virgin Mary in it as a sign from God or something...it was on the news.

But that rock thing...

[Ashi]

I bought some worn Grace Jones panties. :D

Are you sure they were last worn by Grace Jones when you bought them?

:( I don't really know. :(

[omnitarian]

Giving BS stories to get lots of money through eBay is a bad idea. 90% of the time, the winning bid will be a joke. So the guy doesn't pay, and your left with an enormous eBay fee. That's what happened to the guy with the Runaway Bride Toast (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1469&item=5577795202&rd=1#ebayphotohosting).

xD Serves him right.

[Destai]

I know of a guy who farted into a bag and succesfully sold it on ebay.
There was also this woman who found her grilled cheese sandwich had a picture of the virgin mary grilled on it which sold for lots of money.

The best one is a scam I wish I had gotten in on. On eBay, there was this item for sale called "Oujia Board Soup" which consisted of a small white soupbowl which apparently had powers of divination. If you poured alphabet soup in it, it supposedly would spell out predicitons - for instance the seller claimed it predicited the outcome of the 2004 election by spelling out "BUSH." They even had a screenshot of the soupbowl saying "BUSH" in pasta letters. The buyer of the auction would get the bowl, and two cans of Campbell's Alphabet Soup. The greastest part is somebody bought if for THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I wish I had so much money I could buy obviously fake crap. :p

[Psychotic]

and a man from the Midlands who was selling himself to use for various tasks such as painting and being taken out for a meal, no one has beiided for him as yet :( In case anyone was wondering, I'm a man and from the Midlands. :shifty:

I'm selling my entire WWE VHS/DVD collection on E-Bay, along with an autographed Rey Mysterio duffel bag. That's 57 VHS tapes and 105 DVDs, for those of you that are wondering. Crazy, no? How much do you think I'll make?

[Shoeberto]

The best I remember was back in '01 before the Xbox had come out. A guy who worked in a game shop was selling an Xbox box - that is, the promotional display box that was put up in stores. Not reading the title, people bidded on it thinking they were getting an Xbox almost a full month before it actually came out. I think bidding reached almost $1000.

People do that stuff with their friends to increase their user ratings.

[Dragon Ash]

**Note to everyone out there, do NOT loose your soul to someone with an Ebay account.
Anyone interested in swapping their soul for this, uh... piece of smooshy flesh here - MICHAEL JACKSON'S REAL NOSE!!11!1! No kidding.

Where did I get it... umm... God gave it to me?

:p

[bennator]

I really wish I was creative enough to make up fake things to sell on eBay and get rich.

[Old Manus]

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the great Tesco Shopping bag scandal that made national news. It went for about £2 by the way.

Oh god, you could make a buttload off that (and probably will if you set the starting bid high enough).
