Top 12 Most Bizarre Things Ever Listed On Ebay

01/20/2010 - 9:00 am By Diana Adams

I use Ebay a lot. I love it. I’ve bought and sold hundreds of completely random things. I paid $6 once for a McDonald’s Happy Meal toy that my son wanted so badly. Yes, someone sold one of those ridiculously cheap toys to me for $6. If you can’t find it anywhere else, you can surely find it on Ebay.

Just like we protect our reputation on Twitter, it’s the same on Ebay. I have a 100% feedback rating and I would do almost anything to protect that if I ever thought it was in jeopardy. Sometimes it’s fun to just check out what’s for sale. There are always strange and unusual things listed that will give you a good laugh.

Tonight when I was perusing Ebay, I started thinking about the most bizarre things that have ever been listed on that site. Of course, bizarre is a relative term, it’s all in the eye of the beholder, but after researching what has been put on Ebay over the years, I have compiled my top 12 list of the most bizarre things ever listed on Ebay. I’m sure I’ve left some super strange and gnarly things off the list, so please leave those in a comment below.

I’d say the Channel Tunnel Boring Machine deserves an Hon Mensh at the very least:

Nice post! Makes me think I should really sell those Smashing Pumpkins tickets for the canceled show on Halloween night ’07 – I’ve had stashed away for 2 years.

Hey Misty. I’d like to buy some of those pumpkin smashing tickets as I used to use an axe or my little brother’s head when I was a kid.:-)

I have 20 acres on the moon, should I sell that on eBay?… oh, Is the imaginary girlfriend still available anywhere? It would be nice to “feel” loved once in a while (for those who are socially challenged – in the real world, like me) I heard that you can rent family members in Japan or somewhere. If you want a Grandmother, just call up this business and rent one. Not really eBay, but just thinking of weird things for sale…

I love these! Several years ago I did a “weird stuff” search on eBay & came across 2 winged bugs mounted & framed for $10. I looked them up on the net, and one was a rare find worth nearly $100. It gets weirder… I bought it, and gave it to my mother-in-law as a joke for Mother’s day because she is such a nature lover. You’d think I’d given her diamonds – she was thrilled! Turns out she had actually caught one of these critters during a nature trip to some exotic place, and donated it to a museum. Although she felt good about making the donation, she secretly had a yearning for her own…

Hi Diana

I remember the corn flake one.

How about the toast that had the image of Mary on it.

I’ve seen some one offer her dirty socks on ebay.

People will buy any thing on ebay.

Loved the post Diana

I hope I atleast get 1.03. That would be a more realistic price point.
