Who doesn't need more friends? And what easier way to get them than to buy them on eBay.

Weird eBay Listing #102: Picture Of Jesus

2010-09-13T23:12:00.003-05:00

So far this has only had one bid: $10.00.

Here we have a blank employee name tag from Wal-Mart. Just think of all of the fun you could have at the store: You could pretend to be security and tell people they have to leave. You could direct customers to the toilet paper isle regardless of what they're trying to find. You could go into employee only areas and start firing people. The possibilities are endless.

2009-07-30T23:19:00.003-05:00

If the bad guy from the "Scream" movies turned to stone, would you keep him in your fish tank?

For sale is a rock that bears an eerie resemblance to the ghoulish goon from "Scream".

2009-07-08T23:35:00.001-05:00

With this weird eBay listing, you get not only a packing peanut named Mr. Useless but also a second packing peanut that is as yet unnamed. The peanuts are best friends and it would be a shame to split them up.

There's only been one bid so far and that was only for one penny. There have been 37 viewers.

Link:
Weird Auction.

Update: I guess having a clean mouth isn't as popular as it used to be. This bar of soap sold for six cents. There are 259 page views.

Weird eBay Listing #90: Pair Of Brains For Sale

2009-06-06T22:42:00.001-05:00

Despite there being only one brain in the picture, this deal is for two brains. They are human, slightly used. The bodies that go with them (still living, I presume) are available but not necessarily included in this weird eBay listing.

This one started at $1.00 and has gone up to $1600.00 with only four bids. There have been 346 page views.

Link:
Weird Auction.

Update: This weird eBay listing got removed from eBay. I suppose that eBay felt that the seller might actually need his/her brain some day.

Weird eBay Listing #89: Artwork Of An Up & Coming New Artist

2009-05-20T22:17:00.001-05:00

You can now buy on eBay a handmade drawing by a five year old. So if your fridge is looking a little bare, this is just the thing to spice it up.

2009-05-10T21:52:00.001-05:00
