Found this on another forum and thought it would make a cracking topic.

Myself, I have never got anything slightly strange, but I'm sure some of you guys/girls have.

Random forum guy:

"ok i haven't sold a strange item, but i have bought one,

drum roll please *drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
i bought a coffin. yes, a real coffin (it was brand new, well it didnt say one careful owner)
and yes, it is now 6foot under with my nanna inside, no i didnt murder her lol
i had to pay for the whole funeral and tried to cut costs where possible and bought a coffin on ebay for £50!
it was a funeral director selling off stock, the only condition was that i had to arrange delivery, no problem i thought. Ha!
after ringing around countless couriers and numberous ''what is the package contents?..... a what?!>?!'' replies i finally found a courier. the best bit was, the seller only wrapped the coffin in bubble wrap so you could see exactly what it was.

i received the most frantic call on the morning of delivery

'' hello, mrs XXX,,
Yes,
Are you expecting a delivery today? (in a very worried voice)
Yes
Mrs XXX, do you know what it is?
(me as casually as ever) Oh yes, It's a coffin, dont worry its brand new
OOOOOHHH thank god for that, i thought someone was playing a sick joke.

(the journey to the funeral parlour with the coffin in the back of the estate car is another story haha)

Now I appreciate some people may not find this as amusing as i do, but i can honestly say that we all now have a smile on our faces whenever we think of our nanna"
 
Don't let your Nan know you cut costs on her funeral when you pack in and meet her at the pearly gates!
 
Not that strange but it is the strangest I've bought.....

I bought issue one of Student magazine, Richard Branson's first official business venture. I have it framed in my office to remind me of the great man's humble beginnings.
 
Some mobility scooter for an elderly friend of my mothers. The worst bit is trying to explain to them about ebay fees, even before the sale. Or the fear that you will say to them "your item/auction closed at £200" and them saying "£200? nah I think i'll keep it then"
 
10 hypodermic syringes, a nasal speculum, scalpel and suture kit.
I was drunk when I bought it all, don't remember why, I shudder to think. :D

Also quite scarily in my history were searches for "anasthesia machine" and "Operating table" :p

I was surprised when I sold the owner's manual to a 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650 ($17), the owner's manual for a 1990 Chevrolet Cavalier ($15), and a paper tray for a Panasonic KXP-4410 Laser printer ($22).
