Crazy eBay auctions

Every now and then, on humor sites, there'll be an eBay auction with something crazy in it, either the description or the item. Now there is a contest to see who can come up with the craziest auction. Check it out.

This one has got to be my favorite.

He says it's a 1996 penny, and shows a 2000 penny. This g00n guy is a genius.

And Rick James...too much.

All of the "hauntings" are parodies of the haunted rubber duck that an overly zealous father was afraid to destroy, but willing to auction on eBay. I don't know if it was a joke or not, but it certainly struck a chord.

What is this "g00n" business?

A callsign to indicate participation in the contest, it allows you to search eBay and quickly find all of the relevant auctions - though I don't know where the contest is being hosted from. I found the link at collegehumor.

Hmm... My guess is the Something Awful forum goons.

Shoot, I didn't know that 1000K on runescape was worth that much.

search for pretty much ANY online game and you will find auctions for 'UN3R G34R!' accounts and sometimes game currency. For example Diablo II gives aload (most of which would be duped and would disappear once you left the server you used to trade)

Al_Ninio · Fri 27/08/2004 06:27:13

Man, I would LOVE to have this guitar!

i saw someone bid Â£93 on a piece of paper telling them how to get a phone for Â£20

| Bass | · Sat 28/08/2004 05:02:36

Damn. That air guitar sure is nicer then my electric or ecoustic :o

TerranRich · Sat 28/08/2004 05:05:43

I love it when things (information) are sold on eBay when you could easly find them for free. I just want to see somebody leak the iniformation for sale to bidders for free, just so the entire "wholesale distributor list!!!" thing will crumble and die.

On Curcuit City you get phones for about 19 bucks...probably before rebate or after.

I posted that air guitar thing on the HEP forums like a week ago. Glad to hear people read it!

Edwin Xie · Sat 28/08/2004 06:25:08

Air Guitars are nice aren't they....man, who changed the font and the font size?!?!?! It is a constant annoyance to me. Sorry if I am off-topic
