Funny eBay sales
Why don't you tell about funny sales youhave seen on eBay and let us laugh at how desperate people can get. I had seen some funny sales myself, these include:
An Invisible Guitar: sales abadoned.
an British Pound coin, was sold for £5
A bucket of Bristol water.
an Xbox 360 box for $611

I would hope so. Anyone who would buy this has to be the sorriest of the sorry.

Some people will do this. We saw something similar in my sociology class when people bidded on a $0.25 coin for $4.00.

I can see it now, showing off to your friends. "Look, I got an Xbox 360!" *shows them box against the wall, with newly installed packing tape on it* "I'm not going to open it until Christmas as it's a present to myself. But I do have one! Really! See?"

Sometimes they let things slip and it's not intentional.
