Strange Goings On Over At eBay

The origins of the comic book are somewhat controversial and perhaps the jury is still
out. So lets go back to the cartoonish broadsheets of the Middle Ages, which were
parchment products, created by anonymous woodcutters. .....
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 '
Celebrities now such as Outkast, a fashion wear can be a must have. Likewise gainful for celebrities included within the clothing lines world, which is how come we are in possession of these .....
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 as the worst, buying choice you ever made'
I've got one of those - what self-respecting Ebay supporter hasn't'

This 'thing' which was advertised as "New, with Tags" was an absolutely revolting disaster! It was made of what can only be described as raffia, was orange in colour and was 'glued' in bits to the mesh which fits 'all sizes of head' - all but mine, that is! Too small, too horrible, too funny for words! It now sits on the corner piece of our banister - I keep thinking I'll paint some eyes and a big red mouth there. It certainly has been a talking point with lots of laughs and wise cracks at 'mum's worst Ebay purchase'! It almost seems a shame to sell it now in the 'weird' category because 'Sally' seems to now have a home here!
Ebay - not just a place to buy and sell - a place to find outrageously funny odds and sods to keep readers of all ages amused!
