Top 5 funny Ebay auctions
Friday 18th May 2012 | Osh
1)Sell your own life:
A Briton living in Australia has sold his life (job, home, car, parachuting gear and everything else) on ebay for close to £200,000 after getting dumped by his wife. He used the money to finance his mid life crisis, travel around the world and write a book which is now available on amazon. He is now the owner of a small Caribbean island, buddies with Richard Branson, and obviously a motivational speaker. Not too bad for an ex-sales assistant in a rug shop.
2) Auction your head as an advertising space:
German pragmatism made the news once again - why work when you can collect the dole and sell the back of your head online as permanent ad space? This tattoo advertising technique is happening more and more. Good thing hood.de beat funfactory.com to the punch. (FYI - FUN FACTORY GmbH is a German hi-tech dildo manufacturer)
3) Love letters of Prince Charles:
When he was 26 and serving in the Royal Navy, the Prince used to be in love with a girl whom he corresponded with, as lovers do, or did - back in 1976 BF (Before Facebook). Years later, a freak Royal memorabilia hoarder got the letters from the Prince’s ex under the pretext of displaying them in a museum, and put them up for sale on Ebay, causing a wave of bad taste speculation about His Majesty’s stag days, right before marrying Diana
4) Belgium:
To many a nondescript country, Belgium is mostly famous for chocolate, pedophilia and Bruges. It’s no wonder it holds the record for the longest time without a functional government, since the lack of patriotism there has driven an unhappy Belgian ( ...or is it Belger? Belgiumer?) to put the whole country up for sale on Ebay. You probably get sent to a SuperMax Penitentiary in Indiana and soaked in hydrogen cyanide if you do that in the USA. Ah, liberal Europe ...
5) Monster under the bed:
Here at TGN we try to deal with our problems as best we can, even if it involves heavy self abuse. If it were possible to sell the monsters under your bed and the skeletons in your closet on Ebay, yours truly Harry Cathead would be richer than trembling Geezus right now. However, some go ahead with all twisted ideas they get and bollocks to reality.
