This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from the operator of an odds and ends collectibles store called Fancy Thangs.  It all began days ago when the proprietor of the store purchased a 1960s cooler from a dude at a garage sale. Here’s the kicker: dude’s leg was broken because he tripped over the cooler weeks earlier. All he wanted was to break off his relationship with it. The price tag is never disclosed in the auction details, but let’s assume it didn’t cost an arm and a broken leg. Once the cooler landed at its new home, it immediately ... Read more

This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from an entrepreneurial Motley Crue fan (left) who claims her tank top is detailed with Nikki Sixx’s saliva. It all began at a Crue concert in 2005 while she was rocking out from the third row. After turning her head for only an instant Sixx launched his corn syrupy secretion with pin-point accuracy. Despite the detailed account of the event, the story is still hard to swallow. With thousands of eye witnesses, nobody saw a thing, including the people beside her…or even her for that matter. We shouldn’t rule out the possibility ... Read more

Thankfully, women never stopped wearing them. But recent bidding activity now suggests men aren’t afraid to show a little leg as well. The pair of men’s Adidas, pictured below, just sold for £55 (approx. $110 US). The shorts with sheen are regularly fetching big bucks especially if you compare the dollar to fabric ratio. Judging by the location of who’s offering them for sale and their winning bidders, the trend appears to be most popular in the UK. Are they back? I hope so. I’ve been waiting for this moment since Magnum P.I. went off the air.

This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from the lead singer (left) of a rock band titled, WAGSWAYZ. He has generously offered to come live in your home for one week if you bid at least $300. Interested? I was until I realized that he doesn’t do drugs and rarely drinks. What fun is that? Also keep in mind you’re responsible for paying to have him flown in from Indiana. Damn, costs are staring to add up here and now I just really have my heart set on a creepy stranger living at my house. I’m thinking it might ... Read more

Kudos to vintage vendors Refreshmint for always providing some of the most eye-catching photos in the 20k+ results that eBay fetches for a “vintage shirt” search. In this recent listing it appears as though Refreshment aren’t just selling a shirt, they’re selling a lifestyle. And not a boring, stay-home-to-knit-little-boots-for-your-cat-“Fluffy” lifestyle. More like, full-on, celebrity-circuit paparazzi-prone partying. Never before have I seen a auction photos taken in the middle of a club  – it’s like eBay girls gone wild. Keep up the good work. What you get: SUPER SOFT WORN TO PERFECTION DEEP V NECK T SHIRT What you don’t get: Girl, drinks, ... Read more
