Strangest Ebay item you've sold or bought

iamdjdz · 2 Mar 2010 at 16:10

It's not that strange but I bought a Pioneer MD602 cd player which needed a part about 6 years later. Considering that I can't even find pictures normally of the player on google I managed to get another complete working replacement for £12 (I think). They're from 1992 so it was quite a good find imo.

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).

This is why I'd love to be able to sell to eBay's American market. More people etc., I'm sure I could find a buyer for the crap I'm not sure about throwing out.

Though to be fair, years ago eBay here was like that. I sold some random second hand stuff (e.g. aforementioned used electric shaver).

I soft a 4foot stuffed cow to a couple from milton keynes, they paid £2.50 for it but travelled a 140mile round trip to pick it up :confused:

Lol, you made one

They look awesome

How much did you get for it?

Well ive sold 5 ranging from £30-40, although it takes a few hours to knock each one out, from making the box from scratch to the electronics.

Sold my Land rover Discovery for £18,000 3 years ago.

I sat refreshing the page for 10 days solid.

Sold the ultimate useless machine.

Is there a way to put a delay on the reaction, just like a half second or so, so it looks like the box is actually offended by you flipping the switch and contemplates killing you?

Two Michael Jackson style spangly gloves.

I bought for my now-ex girlfriend a pair of earrings with small toast (in-joke).

Pens that look like syringes. A guy in work bought a potato that was shaped like a shark

My buddy sold a siamese jelly baby on ebay. I think he got over a tenner for it.

I purchased Laser Eye Surgery, some years ago now.

Worked great, and good saving.

I bought about 30 US military MREs for a canoeing trip. Not sure if they were in date or not, but didn't really care.

In my opinion, much better than British ones.
