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!

Why buy the November 1952 issue of "Popular Mechanics" when you can read it here?

(thanks, Pat 'n Abby!)

Why you should never eat anything in an unlabeled jar.

This isn't an auction, but it has all the hallmarks of one: bad grammar, poor photography, and a ridiculous opening price.

(thanks, Gwendolyn!)

If you won these jeans, what would you wear with them? Somehow a $10 t-shirt from The Gap just doesn't seem right.

(thanks, Stephen!)

Nobody knew why Kelly was always taking boxes of paper clips from the supply closet at work.

(thanks, Mary!)

According to the counter, this auction has received over 1 billion hits; apparently the Pope told every Catholic in the world to look at it.

(thanks, Tim!)

Help the victims of the Cookie Monster.

Human billboards: First it was forehead tattoos, now a flock of pregnant bellies are being offered up as advertising space. And that's not all - just about any body part you can think of (no, really) is ready to sport your logo, phone number and URL.

Even if you weren't invited to Donald Trump's wedding, you can still pick up a few souvenirs: from a not-so-simple paper napkin ("You can actually feel the magic when you hold it!" gushes the seller) or ceremony program to personalized menus, pew decorations and the actual plates dinner was served on. Even leftover take-home treats (a diminutive chocolate cake and a handful of chocolate-covered almonds) are up for bids.

More to come: The parade of Johnny Carson memorabilia continues, from tickets and towels to cue cards and cologne.

Some of the more unusual entries include this one-of-a-kind painting, actual audience seating, and a set of guest books with signed notes from hundreds of guests who appeared on the show in the 1960's.

Another waste of perfectly good brain cells from Drue and Shauna.
