Weird Items for Sale on E-bay
items that don’t exist
Ghost in a jar
Number of bids: 84
Amount it sold for: Highest bid of $99,999,999 (not sold)
There’s a ghost in a jar and it’s terrorizing its owner, so he’s selling it on eBay. Got that? Right, I thought you did. It’s clear that this guy had way too much time on his hands. Of course, so did the 84 other people who bothered to pull his leg back by bidding on it before eBay pulled the item off their site.
Ghost cane
Number of bids: 132
Amount it sold for: $65,000
This is your basic metal walking cane with a story. An Indiana woman put the cane up for sale in the hopes that her 6-year-old son would believe that his grandfather’s ghost would leave the house with it. This might seem ridiculous, but the online casino GoldenPalace.com bought the cane, saying “it’s just the new Americana thing.” More like a big publicity stunt.
Air guitar
Number of bids: Unknown
Amount it sold for: Highest bid was approximately $47,000
We’ve all played one from time to time, but how many guys have sold one? An English guy posted this ad on eBay as a joke, claiming that it was a 17-year-old non-electric model. A Russian man made the highest bid, but at last notice, the seller hadn’t managed to track him down. The guy had a pretty good idea, but there’s no way I would pay for the shipping and handling.Metallica’s integrity
Number of bids: 50
Amount it sold for: Highest bid of $10,000,000 (wasn’t sold)
Apparently, there’s a bitter fan out there who wasn’t happy that Metallica decided to spearhead the campaign against pirated music. I’ll file this one under social protest, since the seller admitted to offering an item that doesn’t really exist. Notes
