Obnoxious things on ebay
Wednesday, May 11, 2005 | 10:49 AM | Allegri
In my daily web surfing lingo I stumbled across a new post on one of my favorite sites, as of 11:17 last night Rob Cockerham (owner of cockeyed.com) placed 8 delicious pancakes for sale on Ebay. And as of 10:53 this morning it had already had 14 bids and was up to $5.00 charge not including shipping.

Now after seeing this it intrigued me and I began to search of other oddiditites sold (or attempted to sell) on Ebay, here are a few of the fingdings:

A Human Kidney
Twenty-four Children
A piece of Toast partially eaten by Justin Timberlake
A soul of a human being
The rights to name a child
A jar of air from Woodstock 99
Someone's life story

Now Rob mostly does these Ebay sellings not out of stupidity, but more out of a need for a income to support his pranks and "How much is inside Adventures", or just the sheer curiosity of seeing how many people will bid. My favorite "How much is inside Adventure" was most definitely the Sharpie escapade, in which he bought one sharpie and went crazy labeling CD's until the 7.5 gram marker ran out, 968 CD's later (Of which I am lucky enough to have outbid people for a batch of 5 of them).

These are just a few, there were a lot more and many that more freaked me out of even attempting to think of how they got the idea to sell certain items. Most of these where just pranks that people pulled to see how long they stayed on the Ebay registry but others were completely serious. I wonder how much those pancakes will sell for? Maybe I'll go bid on them, nah, I'll just go make my own, I can't wait a week of bidding then 3 days shipping time just to eat them.
