I saw one that was a guy whose wife left him and left behind a PILE of beanie babies. This was back in their hay day. He put them on Ebay, in a bunch, saying he knew nothing about them but here they are. People kept going on about how irresponsible he was for not verifying they were REAL BB, as if they were the crowned jewels. The guy kept coming back and making extra posts on the auction as people sent him questions and comments about the items. It was hysterical.

Heck Ive been buying and selling on Ebay for years, and was let down only once about 3 years ago when I straight out bought a video for $5. Other than that, have not been disappointed at all. Ever.

Someone else sold a Corn Flake because it was the shape of the state of Iowa. A half eaten grilled cheese sandwich. A lock of supposed Brittney Spears hair when she shaved her had last year. I wonder what I could conjure up and sell....and make a lot of money??
Wow!

Not too much into eBay. That said, we just bought a Janome 11000 sewing machine there. A little under $5000 with the digitizer accessories.

I consider that a bit bizarre...

Yes. Really nice, but there's so much already in it that it's taking a while for the wife to figure it all out.

Are you in the market for buying Mike? LOL


Don’t let Mrs. AksarbeN know about selling a spouse on Ebay. I’m not ready for another home yet. In-fact I’m not housebroken yet ~ so nobody would want me. lol

LOL.. Just do some work around the house, and Mrs. Aksarben won't even think about "selling a spouse" on Ebay!

I'll resort to E-Bay when all else fails! Besides, the one story I saw on Yahoo.com yesterday, mentioned that bids have reached into amounts that are in the millions!

I don't think I'm that desperate.. at least not yet! But I'll make sure to note that I am house-broken.. or is it good at breaking a house? Eh, one of the two, or maybe both!
