Following on from the other thread about weird gaming stuff on eBay, I thought I'd start one for all the non-gaming weirdness you can find. A friend and I went through a spell of sending each other details of the weirdest things we could find and my favourite was that he found a listing for seventeen artificial legs. Who would buy that? Post pictures if you have them, rather than links, as they will become redundant after the item listing has finished. If you can't post pictures, links are better than nothing!

The strangest I think,I found was "A date with my sister Mia,she hot and rather....."well I care not to mention the rest in good company.

I once found a 13 string bass when I was shopping for a six string bass.... I was this close *pinches thumb & forefinger together* to buying it.

Ah, yes, I do remember that one person sold their virginity on eBay, and another tried to sell France.

I once found a fat man that was trying to whore himself on ebay for 3 euros.

That's gotta be the strangest thing I've ever seen on that site.

Surely that's not weird though, that's just demonstrating the evil addictability of eBay!

and once I found the title ofbaron to buy it had landownership attached and a knighthood,it was 150 dollars but the bad thing was that if I bought it I'd have to move to a small European country to own it.

Actually...A 13-String bass, in theory, is pretty damn weird.

I couldn't even imagine playing that thing. It is it's own instrument.

there was a pair of leather pants on there once that had a really odd story attached to it, something from a jilted ex-girlfriend that was pretty darn funny.

So, I've just done a bit of searching and found this, which I think is genius. It's a listing for a spell for $9.99. If you are the successful bidder, some women will include you in her love spell. Strictly for the gullible.

Quartz Crystal Skull for $10,800 anyone? Postage is free.....

Or how about a Sorry we have sold out of this item for £525.99?

the scary thing is the psychihc chick has over 1000 positive feedback... wow.

It does make you worry!

Any takers?

Ive seen them played before, you have to play it by tapping...

I thought 6 strings was enough for a bass so I passed on it.... although one day, when the moon is right, & the portents are nigh, I shall return & purchase one!

& then all shalled know the wrath of the many stringéd bass! MWA HA HA HA HA!

Oh man.

Do I want the Love spell or the Money spell? So tough...

I don't even want to consider the benefits of being granted psychic powers.

There are several plastic legs sticking out of the ground in my garden. They were there when I moved in, along with a ram's skull in a birdbath.

Sounds like perfect eBay fodder to me....
