Sitting at my desk on my first day in eBay Community Watch, never in a million years did I expect to be LOOKING for people selling kidneys. And livers. And, well…many other very gross body parts. I’d tell you, but I don’t think Typepad would like it. Come to think of it, I don’t think ANYONE would like it.
Those were the days, six years ago; when I was a young pup and walked to work uphill in the snow. eBay was so new folks put stuff on the site just to test the boundaries. Some were serious, some were being funny and some wanted to get on the news. Hmm. So I guess things haven’t changed all that much. People are still dorks.
This is so true, that yesterday I saw an article for another item that was so major, so hot and so publicized as eBay’s biggest “No No” that I never in a million years thought anyone would try it again.
Chinese Seller May Face Death Penalty
Moron.
Anyway, he got me thinking about all the weird, sick, funny and stupid stuff my friends and I found over the years. Just for kicks, I googled “strange eBay stuff” today and found a partial history here:

Oh, and for anyone just starting their Christmas shopping, here’s a last minute gift for the weirdo in your family:
Enjoy!
