Strange Sales on eBay

Saw this in this month's Reader's Digest...no 9 was just too cute


10. 30 days of advertising on a US man's forehead (I should sooo sell advertising space on my arse!)

9. An "annoying but cuddly" grandmother, listed by her 10-year old granddaughter (There are a few relatives i'd like to sell off too...although i would definitely not use the term 'cuddly' to describe them....spawns of satan perhaps)

8. A brussel srpout, acquired for $151, with the proceeds going to charity

7. Britney Spears' chewed gum, snapped up for $14,000

6. A conrflake shaped like the US state of illinois, sold for $1350

5. A partially eaten 10-year old cheese sandwich, said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary. It went for $28,000

4. A British girl, 18, sold her virginity. (I wonder how much i could get for mine!)

3. A US man auctioned his liver, The bid reached $5.7 million before it was taken down from the site

2. A jar alledgedly containing a ghost was bid to $50,9222 (the winner didn't pay)

1. A Briton living in Australia offered his whole life for $292,000 after splitting up with his wife. The auction included his house, car, job, jet ski and friends.

I think you should advertise your arse on your arse, Saby. The words "BITE ME" should do the trick.

Re number 4 - I thought that's what craigslist was for.

sabrina said...

Unicorn : No but i'd love to purchase the grandmother so that i'd have someone to annoy whenever i'm in a bad mood...hee hee

Scurf : Yes but perhaps eBay is more far-reaching and popular? :p

what percentage of that $292,000 got you the friends? If you didn't like them could they be returned?

sabrina said...

Not sure but they should be returnable! I mean they must not be very colourful or wonderful characters if someone wants to auction em off!

I'd love to chew Britney's chewing gum... NOT! Not if they force me to extract classified information. I'd spill it out like there's no tomorrow :P
