eBay

I have a friend who has recently become addicted to eBay. She has been ecstatic over her great deals, and is enthusiastic about being able to find anything you want on eBay [and she has experienced the horrors of dealing with a shady seller who seems to have taken her money and run....but she is doing all she can to correct this issue]. So….that got me thinking….can you really find anything on eBay? I mean, for real. ANYTHING!!?? So…I thought I’d test it out….see if eBay had an answer for any random thing I might want to search for…..

  • I typed in llama….yep, 480 items found for Llama
  • I searched for toothpaste….yep….373 items found
  • Dentures…yuck!!! 137 items found….and some had pictures!! DISGUSTING!
  • Toupee…sadly, yes…73 items were listed. And there were people actually bidding on said items….
  • Cadaver….thankfully, you can not purchase a cadaver on eBay. However, they did have 15 items relating to that word…pictures, body bags….ew.
  • Lint brush….68 items
  • There were even 5 items available to purchase for boogers. Yes. Its true. Couldn’t help myself…
  • Wing nut…..100 items
  • Decoder ring…..5 items
  • Cleopatra….1071 items
  • 7 items relating to Marshallese
  • Yacht….you can buy a YACHT off EBAY…..a yacht! WHAAT? Yeah.
  • Anyone interested in buying a MANSION?? Cause you can…there are several to choose from….
  • Okay this is sad....
  • Please tell me she is joking...
  • Ok, I actually found an entry where someone was selling their toenail that had been ripped off by a door. NOT KIDDING. I had the link posted, but it was removed. So, sorry you won't be able to enjoy seeing it....
  • You cannot however, purchase a stealth bomber….or an atomic bomb (good to know…) You can, however purchase a book on how to dismantle an atomic bomb [should you ever be placed in that situation….which I think only happens to Sydney Bristow….and she has a technical genius on speed dial…]

So, there you have it, folks. Whether useful or….strange….almost anything you may desire that can be purchased with money may be found on…eBay….wow.

Good to know…

I am a complete ebay freak. I buy and sell stuff all the time. Purchased some pretty sweet memorabilia for Husband's last Birthday & Christmas gifts!
