Default Strange Goings On Over At Ebay

What makes people list some very weird and outrageous items on Ebay?

Is it their ego that drives them? To think that thousands of people
will read and maybe even bid on their ridiculous offerings - is that
it?

What sort of offerings can be categorised as 'strange' you might ask?

Well, this author has seen auctions for: virginity (this was removed
because let's face it - that's prostitution and definitely not
something that Ebay really want to promote!), a hilarious auction for
a stick - yes a stick! The offending stick was part of a chair which
broke when the seller sat on it! He was so outraged that he decided it
would be a saleable item. And starting at .01c, he was right! He
actually did sell it for close to $1.00 ...

Now that doesn't mean you should all rush out to your local forest and
collect firewood and give each piece an interesting history about
which to write and offer up on Ebay!

Also seen was a piece of toast! This was so ridiculous, that one TV
station in Australia featured that piece of toast on an evening comedy
program and the hit counter went berserk after that! So it seems that
anything, which could be classified as 'strange', has a place on Ebay.

Anyone got any old false teeth perhaps? I'm sure even those would get
a bid! Or how about that most horrible 'thing' you bought on Ebay,
which could be classified
