ebay is one crazy phenomenon. even if that were spelled right, the point still stands. this is something being sold on ebay by the website Cockeyed.com.

eBay Pixel Ad

notice the starting bid of 10 measly cents and look at the current bid.

other things this site has sold: toast in a jar, homemade spring shoes, and 100 feet (and 2 inches!) of porn bound together as a book.

proves that anything can be sold over the internet.

I saw an ebay item that was a leftover piece of pizza with just one bite taken out. Kinda gross unless you are a half eaten pizza fetishist.

People will bid absurdly high prices for some things.

I've done it on occasion.

Anyone tried to sell a pastlife memory yet?

noo but something weird, you can sell diablo items on there. i have some friends who would have little fortunes built up from that lol

my stepbrother has sold items and characters from everquest on ebay. jerk makes up to 500 bucks american sometimes!

My cousin told me that someone bought "nothing" from ebay for $15.

Sounds to me like cockeyed.com have effectively used e-bay as an advertising tool. A 1x1 pixel advert is no use to man nor beast, but yet it's received 12,000 views, generating considerable traffic for that site. Not only have they attracted extra visitors, but they've even made $100 into the bargain.

A pretty nice result for selling something that is essentially worthless.

Hm... isn't that what a lot of people buy though... Spend a lot of money on nothing? *Shrugs and goes back to beading necklaces*

Hey there,

Just found these on Ebay...

You are bidding on a haunted stick of deodorant.

When the user of this product left it in their house for an extended period of time, it became apparent that this was no ordinary deodorant. She noticed her cat was acting strange and refused to enter the room where it was kept. After some investigation, she realized that her deodorant was up several "clicks" when she destinctly remembered that it was not above the top of the conrtainer. She quicky cleaned off the top of the container and realized it was ice cold. She quickly left the room, only to return later and realize that her deodorant was above the top of the container again.

HAUNTED UNDERPANTS

Okay....here's the story, and I am not making this up. A few weeks back, I acquired several items from an estate sale of a young college baseball player who had died in an automobile accident while returning from a ballgame. I received various items, including a box of odds and ends. Weird events began to unfold. For instance, I kept finding the guy's jock strap draped over a rocking chair I had also acquired from his estate. This was freaking out my fiance, so I auctioned off "Mr. Baseball's" jock strap on EBay. You can click the link below to verify my story.


Too Weird for me...

It's ludicious what some people will sell and what others will buy. However I can see the practical applications for such an ad and hyperlink. Even on Unexplained-Mysterious.com, I accidently click on the free ads on the top of the site and am taken to another site. Perhaps this is this buyers intention. He can make money just by the traffic he gets, purposely or accidentally, so the $100 he spends can bring in $1000 if the site this 1x1 pixel it's on ad gets high traffic.

GHOSTBUSTERS!

it's just so beautiful

another crazy item being sold on eBay

there was once a 'surprise' bag on ebay. the picture was a plain brown bag with a big question mark on it. i believe it went for over 1000 american dollars! id love to see what was actually in the bag, if there was anything

Don't give them any ideas!

dont get me started 6i have seen:
A half used stick of butter for $12.00USD
Used Underwear for $34.00USD
Aliens
Possesed Items
A piece of corn
ext ext. Ebay should have rules against that stuff..

Why? Think of all the pubicity it brings them. Just alone on this website, which I've seen dozens of odd auctions in the Auctions forums, they'll be bringing in potential customers. Just like what Saruman was saying about advertising. eBay gets paid for items you put up, and the free advertisement of oddities like these. I bet ebay loves things like this.

I love going to though for fun also helps pass time seeing who all is getting ripped off for so much stupid crap. But there is a few things good sold there and over the internet that are useful. But on e-bay abou 90% of the stuff is worthless.

... I haven't really checked out everything on eBay, but I wouldn't say 90% of the stuff is useless. People have odd hobbies and collections, and eBay allows them to feed those hobbies and collections. Nothing useless about that. I'd rather have someone with a collection of odd looking sandwiches and food stuffs than someone on the streets murdering people for a hobby, wouldn't you?


Just my thoughts. I'd say the reverse, that 10% of the stuff is useless.

I have heard you can sell Runescape accounts on ebay. How does this work? Do you give the winner of the auction your username and password? I could make a small fortune...

Rofl.. I think they actually want characters with some levels and some equipment/money.. not one left on newbie island, or whatever it is.. lol

i play runescape. you shouldnt sell your accounts. IF anyone else does play, my game name is JohnnyBoyC

I once saw a jar with a kiss some lady blew inside sell for $24.00 American.

You are one grumpy little nerd.

I love e-bay i buy all kind of really cool stuff for my collection of egyptian art, and it really does not cost much to have it shipped from there to the US.
