Strange goings on Ebay

What makes people list some entries very strange and outrageous on Ebay?

And 'their ego that drives them? And to think that thousands of people will read and maybe even bid on their ridiculous offerings - is it?

What kind of deals can be classified as 'strange' you might ask?

auctions Well, this author has seen for: virginity (this was removed because let's face it - that is prostitution, and certainly not something that eBay really wants to promote!) at an auction of fun for a stick - yes a stick ! The offending stick was part of a chair which broke when the seller sat on it! He was so outraged that he decided it would be a salable item. And from 0.01 c, he was right! He actually did sell it for close to $ 1.00 ...

Now that does not mean you should all run to your local forest and collect firewood and give each piece an interesting story to write and offer on Ebay!

It has also seen a piece of toast! It was so ridiculous that a TV station in Australia featuring that piece of toast on a program of evening and play the hit counter went berserk after that! So it seems that anything that could be classified as 'strange', has a place on Ebay.

Anyone any old false teeth perhaps? I'm sure that even those who would get an offer! And what about that most horrible 'thing' you bought on Ebay, which could be classified as the worst, buying choice you ever made?

I have one of those - what self-respecting supporter Ebay does not have?

Thinking it might be fun to buy a wig, after having long hair cut short, I turned to - you guessed it - Ebay - to spend my money on a wig. Boy oh boy, what a disaster that turned out to be! I bought this beautiful piece beautiful blond hair long, curly research that promised to make me look sexy and turn heads! The only witness this catastrophe would have been made in true style 'Exorcist'!

This 'thing' that was advertised as "new with tags" was a disaster absolutely revolting! It was made of what can only be described as raffia, was orange in color and was 'glued' in bits for the mesh Which fits 'all sizes of head' - all but mine, that is!

Too small, too ugly, too funny for words! It is now the corner piece of our banister - I keep thinking I'll paint eyes and a big red mouth there. Certainly was a point to talk to a lot of laughs and cracks wise on 'worst Ebay buying mom'! It almost seems a shame to sell it now in the category 'strange because' Sally 'seems to now have a home here!

Ebay - not just a place to buy and sell - a scandalously funny place to find odds and sods to keep readers of all ages entertained!
