What's the dumbest thing you've ever bought on an eBay bidding frenzy
 

Every now and then I go on an eBay bidding frenzy that I can't control. I m not really sure what the dumbest thing I've ever bought was, cause it happens a lot. What about you?

I only bought one thing on eBay and it was gangster. $30 webcam that I still use today bought it maybe three years ago lol

Damn, nice. :thumbsup

A really expensive bottle of bad vinegar...that happens when buying wine from people who probably store it on their kitchen table for years :glugglug

Viagra Pills :thumbsup

probably a leather and fur coat that i wore twice.

A hamburger.

ive never bought anything from ebay, but I bought a wave runner. worst thing ive ever done. but was a shit load of fun on/at the river. :):thumbsup

server rack I never used

I just bought a set of golf clubs on Ebay. Fed Ex arrived yesterday & they're in great shape, except for the stickers on every single club that say "MINDY". Gonna be fun peeling all of those fuckers off. :1orglaugh

Every episode of the original He-Man cartoon on VHS tapes...

Sound quality was terrible!!!

Stickers - pour a few drops of ronsonol lighter fluid on them...
they'll peel themselves off.

A few pairs of "Christian Dior" glasses.

Only one pair were real :(

Hehe... I bought two of my cult favorites on Ebay - Sliders and Greatest American Hero. Sliders was absolutely terrible quality on VHS - but Greatest American Hero is actually pretty good quality, and on DVD.

a william shatner mardi gras coin for a friend of mine, she loves shatner, lol. i didn't buy it on a 'frenzy' but its the strangest thing i've bought off ebay.

I bought a couch once by accident :winkwink:

A cisco router. Would of been great. But now I know to always read the entire description with it highlighted. The bottom text was in white with a white background. Which stated it was only the router shell. Live and learn.

never used ebay, like new stuff with warrenties

Oh man, Greatest American Hero was awesome. I barely remember it because I was so young though. :helpme

My wife bought 2000 non-slip bathtub strips. :eek7

do the 2nd to 1rst level sneak drop, then walk a few paces and pause to survey your damage while casually looking down over the railing

I bought a bunch of microphones from the 60's that have plastic parabolic dishes attached to them, and advertised to pick up sounds from far distances. Not too bad looking from the ad, Bell & Howell, 6 of them for 10 bucks. Though I could use them for interesting recording in my home studio.


They suck complete ass.

You can hear the Christopher Cross song in your head right now... "Believe it or not, I'm walking on air..." :)

It was Joey Scarbury.

Ive seen your feedback profile - you're not lying :Graucho

$150 for an OEM Chrome/Leather Shift Knob last week. I don't even want the damn thing.

They're really rare, and I got a good deal on it, but still, blah.

No, I am worse! :Graucho

I bought a "RARE" Han Solo figure that ended up being one of those barbie like dolls.

Paid way too much too.

We are PowerSellers and I buy so much stuff on eBay to resell. Every now and then I go overboard and buy something for myself and then I decide I have to have 2 or 3 of them. :1orglaugh
