eBay

eBay is one of the most famous e-commerce sites. You can buy anything from food to vehicles with just a couple of clicks. Thousands of transactions are made every day, most of them are pretty normal. However once in a while, a bizarre and unexpected item is put into auction. In this list, we will look at some of the most unusual and bizarre items that were put up for auction.
1. In September 2010, Martin Fawcett put his friendly ghost up for auction. Fawcett said that the winning bidder would also receive the ghost’s home - a regular glass jar. Fawcett claimed that his great-great grandmother died of cancer, and he wanted to donate the money to Cancer Research UK. In the description on eBay, he wrote, “He enjoys being let out occasionally but please be sure to put him back as when left out for too long, he begins to get anxious. I have not yet given him a name, so you can call him whatever you want, although he likes it when I call him Casper.” Unfortunately, on the 6th day of the auction, eBay removed the auction because it was against policy to sell items whose existence cannot be verified, such as ghosts, souls, or spirits. Even though eBay said that the auction was for a good cause, they had to remove it because they’re strict regarding their policies.
2. In June 2005, Tim Shaw was doing a live interview on a radio station and said that he was prepared to leave his wife and their two children for a model. His wife Hayley was listening to it and she thought this was the end of their relationship. While her husband was still on air on the radio, Hayley listed Tim’s Lotus Espirit Turbo for sale on eBay with a ‘Buy It Now’ option of 77 cents. The item description read, “I need to get rid of this car in the next two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street.” The car sold within five minutes. Mrs Shaw said, “When he said he would leave me and the kids for someone else that was the end for me. The car is his pride and joy but he put my name on the logbook, so I just sold it. I didn’t care about the money.”
3. On January 11, 2008, an auction for 4 golf balls that were surgically removed from a python’s gut ended. The balls were removed in an emergency room at Gold Coast’s Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. The golf balls were initially used to coax a hen to lay an egg. The python then raided the hen house but mistook the golf balls for real eggs. The vets that removed the golf balls soon put them up for auction to raise money for a new wildlife hospital. After intense bidding that went down to the last second, the golf balls, together with x-rays and photographs of the surgery, were sold for $1,401 to an Australian man. The python soon made a fast recovery and the vets released it into the wild.
