ABOUT

We thought you'd never ask. Find out what this is, who's behind it, and who's talking about it.


CONTRIBUTE

We love hearing about weird eBay auctions, so if you find any please tell us! Closed auctions are fine, and so are items from other auction websites.

We accept lots of different things, but please don't submit:
- anything with the words "fart" or "gag" in the title
- kangaroo scrotum purses
- joke auctions that have already been listed many times (ad space on body parts, 'haunted' dolls, clothes and paintings, Virgin Mary images on food, etc.)

Also, please don't send attachments or HTML, just URLs of funny eBay auctions, and tell us why you think the items are worthy.

So. Found an amusing, unusual or downright bizarre auction on eBay? Send it in!

Thanks!

BRUISED BOXER UGLY FACE JUG
"You are bidding on a very detailed ugly face jug by Dwayne Crocker of N. Georgia."

Uh, no, we're really not.

(thanks, ftoomsh!)

Apparently the Starr Report had a predecessor.

Well, that's one way to cut your cost of living.

A lesson Bob learned a little too late: there are consequences for listening to that rogue fifth dentist who doesn't recommend sugarless gum for his patients who chew gum.

Make this Easter an event your kids will be telling their therapists about for years to come!

(thanks, Erica!)

LEE'S "SAVE THE BABY"

We hear this product is selling better than its competitor, "Tell the Baby She's Lived Long Enough."

We know Snoopy, sir, and you are no Snoopy!

"Chances are that this is a one of a kind item."

In the name of all that's holy ... we certainly hope so.

COOKING WITH MARIJUANA

It isn't just for brownies anymore!

Finally! Waterfront property we can afford!

See, we always knew it -- no one loves good juicy gossip more than God.

(thanks, Bill!)

We didn't want ours either: Um. We're sure Alicia is a lovely person and all, but we really don't want that thing -- no matter how well-preserved it is.

(thanks, Steve!)

Nipple Coffee Mug

Just promise us you won't drink milk out of it. You don't want to be perceived as, you know, weird or anything.

(thanks, Jennifer!)

What a shame ... if it wasn't for that "weird little harmonic in the fourth note," this would be a perfectly normal item.

(thanks, Molly!)

10:59 PM | link
We don't care how many times you kiss that thing -- it's never turning into a prince.

6:56 PM | link
Is that a few hundred bananas in your pocket or are you just really, really happy to see us?


6:53 PM | link
Ahh, the joys of smoking: lighting up, taking a deep, satisfying drag, flicking your ashes into some clown's mouth...

5:14 PM | link
Call us squeamish, but that just looks painful.

Elvis may in fact be alive but damn, he looks terrible.

After a public-relations disaster, Revlon had to recall their latest shade of lipstick, Burning Flesh.

In other words, she's trying to make a profit from the simple act of cleaning off her refrigerator.

But is having the winning hand bad or good?

Hurley the Tucan
"MADE A HABIT OF PUKIN' SPECIALLY WHILE UP IN THE AIR HIS FRIENDS WOULD ALL RUN COZ HIS BARF WIEGHED A TON AND THEY DIDN'T WANT CHUNKS IN THIER HAIR."

Those marketing types have such a way with words.

Into which category do you suppose the Westminster Kennel Club would put corduroy dogs?

"Aw, dammit, look what you did! You put the 4s where the 6s were supposed to go and the 2s where the 8s were supposed to go -- and now Jesus has purple eyes and green hair!"

Orange Spun Plastic Lamp
"Very unusual because of the gondola shaped base that acts as a planter for silk or fake flowers, if you so choose."

And, really, what could solidify the hideousness of this item any more than stuffing it full of artificial flora?


12:03 AM | link
Ever seen those people who are inexplicably sparkling and full of life? Don't you wish you could bottle what they have? Someone did!

They're calling it a fertility charm, but we're pretty sure no one ever got pregnant THAT way.

Mr. Potato Head Statue
"This 6 foot tall statue weighs about 137 pounds ... In March of 2000, a "bumper crop" of life-sized Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head® statues were officially sworn in by Governor Lincoln Almond as Rhode Island’s Family Travel Ambassadors."

(thanks, Matt!)

When it's love, it'll last forever ...

Yes, they're serious: "In fact, these cups may just improve your love life. Nothing ruins a great classic pick up line like Haven't I seen you somewhere before? or Are you a model? faster than spilling your drink all over the front of her $300.00 designer dress. Also, the bright colors may distract her eyes from furtively searching the room for an exit."

John Deere Tractor Lamp

Is it bad if we'd rather just sit in the dark?

You may have to buy a baby shower gift. But it doesn't have to be nice.

Uh, we don't want to know what kind of ride she's looking for.

A cat that plays piano? Big deal. Now, a cat that plays the French horn, that'd be something...

Valentine's Day gift suggestions from Ebay: ugly lamp? tacky statue? ghastly pottery? big shiny rock? land in the Ozarks? amourous bovine? deer painted on fungus? fish-cleaning board? wrestling action figure?

How about a magazine full of nekkid chicks? "Here ya go, little lady! Happy V-Day! Now, get in that kitchen and fix me a chicken pot pie."

What's that -- you don't have a Valentine to shower with gifts? Fortunately, Ebay can take care of that, too.

"World's Ugliest Face Pot"

No chips, cracks or repairs, but the seller has kindly offered to add them for a nominal fee.

We're not worried about the rash of layoffs throughout the dot-com world -- we were thinking of making a career transition anyway.

12:30 PM | link
Long-stemmed roses and diamond rings are fine and all, but we're hoping for something a little different this Valentine's Day.

12:15 PM | link
This isn't just any old dirt -- this is special dirt!

That's one way to get rid of all those free AOL CDs (not that we're disparaging any of you serious collectors out there, oh no.)

"Many uses!" Of course, none of them are legal...

Penis Enlargement eCommerce Site!

Well! That just about sums up this industry, doesn't it?

A custom painting of any fantasy we want, eh? How about George W. Bush being paddled by Sandra Day O'Connor?

"Why do I have the hot water bottle between my legs? Um, I pulled a muscle in my groin... playing tennis... with the guys from the office. Yeah, that's it."

Leonardo DiCaprio puts the boy in boyish good looks.

All that huffing and puffing and he's not even anatomically correct?!?!

Good thing it's on vinyl, because the pristine clarity of a compact disc just doesn't do justice to the gurgling cries of a dying man.
