Well, if you're fishing for suckers, might as well go all the way.

We once had a contest to see who could find the craziest auction on Ebay. I think a jar of cow teeth won.
By the way, how did you come across this one? Were you searching for Jesus? I'm not sure that's how to find him. Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :
My favorite (long gone now) was for a ham sandwich and an ass kickin'. They did not promise the whole sandwich, though. celia, you know where to find Jesus?

I saw one once for the shoes of this woman's old bully. He apparently had made her life miserable in school, and then she turned out successful and stuff, and at a reunion, she got really drunk and ended up in a hotel room with him. She didn't remember what happened, but the next morning his shoes were left in her room. Since he had made her life miserable in school, she decided to take them rather than give them back. Her girlfriends put her up to auctioning them on ebay. I don't remember what they went for, but it was a great story.

That looks like some serious water damage to the wall. They oughta call someone to fix it.....

I was going to bid, since I usually have that kind of money hanging around and really dig foggy photographs. But I spent my $100,000 on a cauliflower that resembles God himself. And I figure that's the more significant of the two. Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :
wow-that kinda makes me wish I had something worthless to sell for thousands of dollars. Posted by babager (Member # 6700) on :
Some lady is auctioning off her Dad's ghost. Top bid so far is $78.00. There is an article about it on Yahoo News. (not sure how to post a link-- she admits sheepishly )
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
babager, click the url button on the reply screen and copy the URL of the site that you want to make a link to into the box that pops up. Click okay and it'll give you a new box for the title of the link. Click okay again.

Holy Moly, it's up to $130!! Wow!
*searches for random artifacts to sell*

The following is sad:
From the auction:
quote: My son is 8 years old.
From the Yahoo! News article:
quote:HOBART, Ind. - A woman's effort to assuage her 6-year-old son's fears...
It's like they are writing the story based on what was told to them from somebody who actually spent the 30 seconds it takes to read the auction.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Actually the three copy-cat auctions are the sad part.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
It's just sad that I didn't do it first.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
eight THOUSAND dollars for a ghost? I guess you do get the cane too.
I'm thinking that I could start selling random people's souls Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
If you could somehow make a permenant blob of gaseous-looking material you could put it in jam jars and sell it as a dream like in The BFG.
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
I'm thinking of selling my car on eBay. It's a piece of junk, but if people will buy a ghost, maybe someone is looking for a piece of junk car to buy. Anyway, it's worth a laugh. Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
There are a total of 9 nearly identical copycats and at least 25 mimics that are selling everything from their dogs ghost to father's ghost decals to Scary Movie. It's sad, really.
Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
Um, Kayla? You posted the same link twice.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
It's really weird. The totals keep changing, along with the number of bids. Now, there are no bids with a starting bid of $200.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
That probably means the ebay staff noticed what I did yesterday -- a lot of bids, one after another, from the same bidder. As well as several other 'up the bid' stunts.
Illegal bids are being removed.

Hmmm. . . I wonder why. . .

My favorite ebay sale was for a router table that the guy said was totally useless, except for the switch. He said it had a really good switch, but the rest was junk.
I just like the idea of a Divine Jump Rope. If I were to ever make a video game, one of the weapons would be "Divine Jump Rope."
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
It would go well with the "divine pogo stick" and "divine surfboard".
Posted by erosomniac (Member # 6834) on :
The Divine Jump Rope auctioner certainly gets one thing right: Christmas is anti-religious and encourages secular thought!
"During my years in the holly land I was brought up as a secular non believer"
STRIKE DOWN THE BOUGHS OF HOLLY, ONE AND ALL.
FOR QUIM AND FOR CHRIST!

Why, when I click that link, am I sent to the homepage of the Microsoft Corporation??
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Might want to fix your link (one "http" too many). Not sure why that one amuses you so . . . the guy has a candy store.
In any case, welcome to Hatrack, solero. Posted by Hamson (Member # 7808) on :

Yeah, I remember listening to a "This American Life" segment on it. It was very funny in a sad way. Posted by andi330 (Member # 8572) on :
All those ebay auctions were removed by ebay. I can't see any of them.

My friend sold his soul for $12.75 last year.

That's it?! I thought the going rate for a soul would be a bit higher than that.

Yeah, look at the date of the post. I tell you though, those were some good ones. Never see those again, I bet you. Ha ha, good times.

My dad showed that to me and I must say it frightened me a little. Not that they would be sold on ebay, but that my dad was actually searching for leather pants on ebay.
