10 WEIRDEST THINGS EVER SOLD ON EBAY!

OK, lets just get to it.....
E bay since its establishment in 1995 has been a main hub for business transactions. Yeah, but some people have deemed it fit to auction some really wierd stuff on E bay...

lets take a look at them 


 1. Ghost in a Jar.

This jar, which was found in an abandoned cemetery, was sold by the seller who found it so the ghost would stop haunting him! Selling Price -- $55,922... now i don't know why i will like to buy a Jar that has a ghost in it (that is, even if its true). this world is strange ooo!

2.Shooters Window.

The actual window and frame allegedly used by Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused shooter of late president John F. Kennedy. Reportedly the most valuable window in the world, this window sold on eBay for over 3 million dollars! (Americans jux spend in things that dont matter..... Chai)

3.  A Man's Life!! 

Ian Usher as pictured above, was so fed up with his life that he decided to sell it on eBay. He sold his car, his house, his job, and introduced the buyer to his friends!
Hey, was it worth it? He pocketed just over $300,000 and got a fresh start!.... Damn, He even bought an Island in Panama!!! (now guys if you think your life sucks, dont be sad! always remember you can sell your life on E bay!)

4. A Corn Flake shaped like the state of Illinois.

Hmmmm, strange things do happen....... This one Corn Flake sold for approximately $1350.00 . (From now on, i will be studying every corn flake i eat.... who knows, i may jux come across a corn flake like shape of Lagos)

5. Haunted Rubber Duck

Another haunted item that actually sold on eBay, the item in question was a rubber duck that made the owner’s child act possessed when around the toy. The child also threw the duck as far away from him as he could whenever he got the chance. The seller actually wrote an incredibly detailed account of his family’s ordeal with the duck, named “Yella”, including the intervention of the family Pastor. Incredibly, even after describing the demonic deeds of the duck and warning potential buyers that the seller will “not be responsible for the duck after shipping… will not field questions or help to explain its unusual mystique” and stating he “want nothing to do with it,” the duck still had 41 bids and sold after a week, making him a profit of $107.50. (what is with Americans and haunted items?)

6. Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese Sandwich

As much as patriotism and the supernatural may entice eBay connoisseurs to bid, religious items can certainly take the cake – or the grilled cheese in this case. A Miami woman’s 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich, which had a bite taken out of it, bore the resemblance of the Virgin Mary to many eyes, including the maker of the sandwich. Jewellery maker Diana Duyser believed she was staring back at the Virgin Mary after taking the first bite of that fateful grilled cheese and immediately put it in a plastic bag, where it never collected even one spore of mold for a decade. After finally deciding to sell the item, online casino GoldenPalace.com would stop at nothing to obtain the piece of what they call “pop culture” ultimately paying $28,000 for the sandwich.


7.  Kari Smith's Forehead


Bountiful Utah mother Kari Smith wanted a better financial future for her son Brady, hoping to be able to help him pay for his college education. In a moment of inspiration, Smith decided that the best and quickest way to raise some money for her son was to become a walking billboard. Had Smith thought a little harder about it, she may have been able to raise some money for her child in a little less permanent and controversial way, but instead she decided to sell her forehead as advertising space. The 30-year-old auctioned off her forehead and vowed to tattoo any slogan across it to any company that would fork out her asking price of $10,000. Like the Virgin Mary grilled cheese, GoldenPalace.com just couldn’t resist, and after two days on eBay the online casino clicked “buy now,” paying Smith the full $10,000, while she maintained her promise of tattooing GoldenPalace.com in black ink across her forehead. When she asked the tattoo artist (who spent nearly ten hours trying to talk her out of the tattoo) if her forehead would go numb while getting inked, he replied “It’ll go as numb as your brain.” Well played.

8. Human liver



A Florida man was really set to hit pay dirt by selling his liver on eBay when the bid for his internal organ reached a staggering $5.7 million dollars. With available organs in short supply and donor lists severely backlogged, some of those needing a transplant resort to desperate measures in order to get a leg up on the wait list. Unfortunately for the Florida man whose liver was for sale and more so for those desperate or ill enough to be bidding on a liver online, eBay pulled the auction from its site quickly, stating that the auction violated its rules regulating the sale of human organs on the website.

9. Bridgeville Carlifornia 

260 miles north of San Francisco and with 25 residents, lays Bridgeville, a town with the dubious distinction of being the first town ever sold on eBay. The unincorporated town initially went up for auction in 2002 with a price tag of $750,000 after the Lapple family, owners of the town since the early 1970s, failed to sell through traditional real estate avenues. Eventually the town sold on eBay for the price of $1.77 million, to an anonymous Los Angeles based buyer that remained hidden during the negotiations of the sale, which ultimately fell through. The town was bought, albeit for a million less than the initial eBay offer, soon after to another businessman. Bridgeville was sold twice more, though not through eBay, over the next four years.

10.  Newzealand
in 2006 a Man in Brisbane, Australia put up an E bay auction to sell Newzealand.
simply because he went to Aucland (Newzealand's capital) and hated the weather there..... he decided to sell the country.
but once it was discovered, E bay took the auction down. (Some pple are jux flat out crazy.)


So that it guyz! weird right?......
