The funniest ebay fake was when one seller pretended to be God and put the Earth on ebay.. "slightly used planet, 8 billion renters.." etc it was pretty funny.

Do you think someone actually paid $123.50 for it? Maybe there are people that collect ingenious joke scams.

Hmmmmmmmm $123.00 for a bag of air. Now there's got to be some useless piece of junk in my garage that I can put on e-bay. See you later. Time to clean out the garage.

willowbilly3, some rich old boy probably has a whole room full of that kind of stuff to show his friends when they come over. I personally have a box of "Betty Turcker's" Cheese Carcass Macaroni" Road Kill Helper that I bought at a truck stop for $4.99. It's always good for a laugh when company comes over. I show them what we're going to have for dinner and excuse myself to go "shopping". It also has special directions for "cooking on a manifold" if you are traveling and don't want to stop to eat.

I have seen the road-kill helper. In Alaska we actually eat roadkill. It isn't unusual to be invited over for some roadkill stew. We are talking moose though.

What I wonder is how they keep from paying ebay the selling fees on 100 million dollars. They must pull the auction before it ends. What if you didn't get home in time and owed them their percentage. I guess you could always do the deadbeat bidder rap on whoever had the high bid

i saw this one screwed up one, it was just a bra. Not just ANY bra....but about the nastiest bra you ever saw.

This lady who was selling it said she was re-doing the ceiling in her house and when she was knocking the old stuff this bra fell out.

It was old and faded, absolutly covered in filth, looked like some kind of mold was growing on it.

I dunno....some people just need a vicious beating in front of their parents.

I seen a pile of dog feces on there once.
And a guy sold his family on there....
Ive even seen information on there for sale.
My friend was going to do this:
Run an add selling information for 15 bucks on how to double your money in 30 days....
Buyer wins, pays shipping, you send them a piece of paper that says "fold your money in half"
Was very legal, but i told him not 2

There was one a while back where this individual was selling a ghost in a jar. Supposedly, he had dug it up at a cemetary and took a pic of the place. He says that he was by himself, but when he develped the pictures, there were a few people hidden in the pictures. Even though it was probably fake, the picture was quite spooky.... I would have posted the Ebay link, but Ebay has already wiped it out of its database.
