and has websites located in twenty four countries.
It is well known that almost anything can be sold on eBay and many people have gone to great lengths to take advantage of this theory. Yet have you ever wondered what the most bizarre eBay sales ever listed were? Below are just some of the most interesting and strange items people have attempted to sell over the years.
Strangest things sold on eBay:
1. A baby T-Rex
Of course this wasn’t a real T-Rex but instead a pristine baby T-Rex fossil which had been found in North America. The item had previously been on display in a museum for a number of years before being placed on eBay with a starting bid of $10million.
2. Ian Usher’s “life”
Ian Usher decided to put his “entire life” up for auction in 2008, with the winning bidder receiving his house in Perth, all of his belongings, an introduction to his friends and even a trial run at his job. When the bidding closed, Mr Usher’s “life” sold for 200,000.
3. A Channel Tunnel boring machine
In 2004 Eurotunnel put one of the 580-tonne drills used to help construct the Channel Tunnel up for auction. The write up suggested the giant machine might just make the perfect present for an eccentric engineering fan. After 179 bids the price reached 5million.
4. Shrunken tribal heads
A small community known as the Jibaro Indian Tribe in the jungles of Ecuador used the online auction site to sell twenty six real shrunken heads. The item reached only seven bids with the winner buying all of them for only $25.
5. The meaning of life
To prove you really can sell anything on eBay, a theory to the meaning of life was auctioned off after an American claimed he had finally cracked it. The item incredibly reached a total of eight bids and was eventually sold for $10.50 to an obviously curious winner.
