It seems that there are a lot of bored people out there in the cyber- universe, with lots of money to burn. Such individuals seem to gravitate towards online auction sites like Ebay and they appear willing to bid on whatever strikes their fancy, even if the item in question is totally absurd.For anyone is interested in what types of things are currently being offered on Ebay for those with no life and a whole lotta money to waste, here are some items, current and past, that you may find interesting on the #1 online auction site
What's In a Name?
.A seller declares that he will "pee your name in the snow" in one of three areas affected by the recent big Northeast snowstorm. He states that he has over 30 years of expert experience in writing his name in the snow and confidently promises that he will write your name in cursive, without any abbreviations. If you are the oh-so-fortunate individual to win this bid, you will get an 8 megapixel photo shot of the finished work, along with a "certificate of authenticity". The dedicated artist will do his best to drink lots of vitamin-rich liquids, so that the color contrasts will be as spectacular as possible. There were 2 bids on this when last I looked.
This delightful item was found in the "Speciality Services: Artistic Services" section of Ebay.
A Weird Read
For those into the gross and macabre, you can bid on "4 Mid Continent Mortician Magazines" circa 1972.
In these creepy vintage pages, you will find classified ads for hearses, coffins and fluids. There are, as well, many "interesting articles", although I can't think of any subject these issues deal with that any sane person would be remotely interested in reading, unless, of course, he is Stephen King. You will be stunned, I'm sure, to know that there were no bids, thus far, for this item, but hope springs eternal.
This spine-tingling item was found in the "Everything Else: Funeral and Cemetery" section.
So, You Need a Unique Centerpiece for That Coffee Table?
