There are an abundance of auction websites out there, but only one really springs to mind (Well, 2 if you count .com) Yep, that's right, eBay. Now, you'll generally find two types of sellers. Those that sells items (I.e. Finished games) because they want to get rid of them, or they want to make a quick bit of cash. Then there are the stupid people that sell everything they can think o on eBay, such as unfinished Pop tarts and that old pair of boxer's that you just can't throw away. Nutters, the lot of them.

So then, there must be a good accumulation of crap sold on eBay. Such as the PS2 Box that was sold for over £200, the bloke that tried selling his wife and the shady-looking man selling his soul. Very interesting, indeed. Therefore, I feel it is my duty to, er, well, to enlighten you with some of the more peculiar things sold on eBay.

*Note: These are fictional items. :D



Item Number: 3543784609

USED CONDOM, EXCELLENT CONDITION! L@@K!

£0.01

"You are bidding on a used condom in excellent condition. The condom itself is in good condition, though it is a little stretched. The packaging is a little ripped, but it's still good.

Note: Not suitable for people with strawberry allergies.

I accept PayPal and cash in the post.

If the bids reach over £0.10, I'll even throw in a new Condom, unused! This would normally cost £1+!!!!!!!!!!

P+P is £0.50"



Item Number: 2530947853

Mint condition loaf of bread!

£0.59

"A mint condition loaf of bread, still Hovis factory sealed. Comes with shopping receipt, plastic bag and a small slab of butter.

Payment by cheque only please.

If you have a feedback rating of 1500+, you obviously spend far too much time on eBay, and your bid will be rejected. Muppets."

£199.99

"RARE- Collectors item! A rare Rare "Rare" logo, boxed with booklets. Celebrates Rare's move to MS, only available through extensive pirate counterfeit rings in the middle of China!

Payment through PayPal only please. Pay to:

[email protected]

Serious bidders with lots of cash on their credit cards only please.

£1.80

"You may, if you want to, and I'm not forcing you, please don't take offence! I didn't mean it! A Prittstick tube, perfect for sticking stuff together, If you want! It doesn't have to be used for that! I don't mean you have to use it like that, you could sniff it too, but you don't have to do that!

Thanks for bidding (If you do! I don't mean you have to bid! Please don't give me bad feedback! I'll pay you to bid on this PrittStick!)"


Item Number: 4826746398

USED SAMURAI SWORD! WITH BL@@D!

£23.99

"An original samurai sword, used on some unsuspecting old lady. Still had blood on the blade.

Perfect for keeping salespeople away from your pansies!

Payment through Paypal only- or I will be forced to use it on you!

If you give me bad feedback, I will send my personal group of Ninjas round to kick you in…


Happy bidding!"



We can only hope that such items never grace the auction site that is eBay. For now, just laugh at people that sell anything, even the small minute things, on eBay.

Thanks for reading

Muuh?

Pretty random, to be honest. You trawled back to the bottom of the page/back a page to type that?

Crazy!

Chipseh, would you buy second hand thongs if Jade Goody's sweaty bum cheeks has been on them?




Don't ask me how I know she has sweaty bum cheeks...




She probably doesn't y'know...




The thought of her wearing a thong...

Heh, nice.

My dads mate once sold my dads sock on eBay when my dad left it behind at his house when he slept over there once.
