More Crazy eBay Auctions…
I wholeheartedly and sincerely wish that these eBay auctions were ones I dreamed up. They are all too real.
- YEP, these are the SAME JEANS we’ve listed a few times here on eBay and for some reason no one wants them. So I put them in my truck and took them with us when we went to John Travolta’s new house in Florida this past weekend. SO NOW, these jeans have “BEEN TO JOHN TRAVOLTA’S HOUSE” which makes them MUCH MORE VALUABLE than they originally WERE! HOW EXCITING IS THAT?!!!! As an ADDED BONUS, we are including in the auction photos here, an exclusive photo of the jeans inside the truck, at the front gate of John Travolta’s house. You must look VERY CLOSELY! (”LOOK VERY CLOSELY” here is defined as “MUST HAVE X-RAY VISION”.) at the photo to see the jeans, but they are in the back portion of the truck, neatly folded, and LIKE NEW. And just in case you did not read the auction the first fourteen times we tried to auction off these LIKE NEW DESIGNER JEANS, here is its: SMOKE-FREE, PET-FREE ENVIRONMENT ~ EXCELLENT TO LIKE-NEW RALPH LAUREN POLO JEANS ~ LADIES 2 ~ INSEAM 30, WAIST 26 RELAXED FIT ~ PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!
- I am selling this one-of-a-kind silver bowl. The bottom is engraved “Ridgewell Catering, 1984.” Which leads me to believe that this bowl could have been used by former president, Ronald Reagan. After all, Ronald Reagan was re-elected in 1984. And I’m sure, at some point during his campaign, he probably needed to use a bowl. (you can’t eat soup out of a plate!). The surface of the bowl is scratched and bit tarnished and the base has a small dent in it. But it’s plausible that those scratches and tarnishes and dent could have been lovingly placed there by 1980s icon, Madonna! After all, 1984 is the year that Madonna released her hit single “Material Girl.” I’m no rocket scientist, but the last time I checked, silver is a material! You can see where I’m going here. That said, please buy my bowl. It’s shiny and your pets will love it. Especially if you rub it down with meat. Please include $10 for shipping and handling, since the bowl is fairly heavy. Which leads me to suspect that it might have been used by Arnold Schwarzenegger. (He released The Terminator in 1984).
- Here is a typed letter on Larry Holmes letterhead dated January 22, 1986. He types; “Thank you for your recent letter asking my response on my recollection of the day that President Kennedy was killed but unfortunately I don’t remember where I was or what I was doing.” Signed in full at the conclusion. Contrary to the saying that everyone knew where they were on the day Kennedy was assassinated, Mr. Holmes admits he doesn’t recall. A funny signed letter by the former heavy weight champion of the world.
- Hi, I’m Eve Adams. I am selling my perfume oils to pay my way through school (I’m studying Geology at the University of New Mexico). I package it in 1/4 ounce vials. My oils contain no alcohol. The bottle is not to exciting looking, but the scent is really great. I use it as a perfume - you won’t believe how long it lasts. This scent is Dirt. This is probably one of the stranger scents that I offer. It is the rich scent of moist loamy soil. It’s for all of you gardeners that miss playing around in the dirt during the long winter months.
What also amazes me as that people actually BID for this junk! Probably should start saving used toilet paper, previously chewed gum, nose hair clippings, dandruff flakes. There’s bound to be someone eventually who wants to add to their prized collection…
I have a question, I would like to see the pictures of John Travolta’s house, do you have it and could you either post it or e-mail it to me?

I’d hate to have to fly a banner over my house (and on my car and on my person) for a year for only $6.50.
Some things are priceless…then there are other things. Now you don’t have to use the corner of the sheet, a t-shirt, or a sock if you win the Ebay auction for the After Sex Hand Towel…
This is a great auction. And it’s for charity.
Normally, I don’t approve new “crazy” auction links any more, because most of the comments tend to be something like, “hey, found this funny auction on eBay…” and it almost always turns out to be from the guy that posted the auction in the first place. Plus, the links get outdated very quickly, making most of the page quite useless (which is why the links from comments left in previous years above have been removed).
I decided to OK the one above anyway, not because the item itself was all that funny, but because the photo “shows the original high speed sofa setting a world record in 1998.” The image was probably Photoshopped (the mistake was that motion blur filter has been added uniformly to just about everything in the image: the foreground, the background, and the object “in motion”) — which makes the entire auction just a little bit funny since it’s probably just some kid in his UK living room trying to make a “fast” buck.
Maybe it is for real.
The previous event was real (I remember the odd news story a few years back) but the photos are not. The picture on the Guiness website even has some blur lines on the sofa going backwards, and the background blurs are at different angles. It’s a cute effect, but it’s fake. The magazine-ready photos of many events are taken for posterity, as representations of the feat, not of the live event.
That being said, perhaps the auction event is on the up and up, and therefore really isn’t all that crazy any more.
I doubt its real. I think this kid just wanted to make up something interesting thats all.
