What’s the weirdest thing you’ve successfully sold on eBay?

the item you sold made me laugh.

In my early days of ebay i would sell used underwear.

Post a picture of a good-looking girl or guy and buyers would think 

that's the person who's underwear they were buying.

People would pay hundreds of dollars.

I once sold a used bath towel for like $400. 

Interesting observation.  Mostly guys would buy the women's underwear.

Somewhere once I ended up with a complete taxidermied baby alligator but I don't remember if I sold it local or put it on here.  I think I did put it on and got more than I expected for it.  

I sold 100 current Coke bottle caps once, too, so somebody could use the codes in them.  Then the next round eBay pulled my listing, some insane ban on selling points.  It's not like I was getting rich, ten bucks flat for something I would otherwise just throw away that if you had to buy 100 bottles of soda would cost you minimum four times that.  I think I could probably have sold every cap I had otherwise.

Mine was an old porcelain Flow Blue teapot.  It had a giant crack that started at the rim, went down the side across the bottom, and back up the other side.  The lid had a blue marble glued on the top since the finial was broken off and  missing.  The only reason I had this was, I had to buy the "whole lot" at a live auction to get the pieces I wanted.  Just threw it up on eBay with giant photos of all the damage and an accurate description at $9.99. 

A week later, much to my surprise, it sold for over $400 and the buyer paid immediately.  I did contact the buyer to make sure he/she knew the condition of same, and was reassured that they did and the "damage" really didn't matter much to a real collector of the genre....

????????????  I wonder sometimes where that old POSporcelain piece is.  LOL.

A very old Royal Doulton figurine that had multiple large, open cracks, but was actually and amazingly, still in one piece.

Apparently, this can happen to porcelain figurines, but very rarely. It has something to do with firing stresses I think. I bought it cheaply because I wanted to see what this looked like.

A while later, I listed it on eBay, carefully and accurately described, and put "To a good home only" in the title and description. There were several bidders on the auction ... the winner sent me a message afterwards, and assured me that they would care for her well, and give her a forever home.

I once had a buyer "buy it now" as soon as I posted an empty 1970s cardboard box for Richbrau beer. My wife literally LOLed at me carefully packing an empty cardboard box into a cardboard box to mail.

I listed some trashed Barbies that my daughter had given haircuts and used a Sharpie to add very dramatic make-up to their eyes.  I made several groupings and sold every one.  Some of the close-ups of their faces still haunt me!  I also had a few listings of baby doll arms, legs, torsos, and heads that were mismatched.  I got them at auction and my brother said people made art out of them.  He was right, as they all sold.

empty toliet paper rolls.........can't remember the price, but think about $15 for 100.

^^Me too!  Got sick of trying to find a box light enough to ship first class, so I stopped saving them!

An Engelbert Humperdink 33 album...I got a good price too. ☺

Not a weird item, but brought home to me "don't throw it away until you try to sell it on eBay first". I wanted white on white patterned sheets to use as the "bedspread" over a light weight duvet in summer. We have a dual king bed (twin bottom sheets) and the sheets I wanted only came regular King. I was going to put the unusable  bottom sheet in with our painting drop cloths but thought to list it on eBay, and for reasons that now escape me, I listed it auction format. I'll be darned if I didn't have two people who wanted that sheet and bid it up from $20 to over $40.

Mounted Thresher shark jaw. Going through my feedback as seller brought back memories.

"More photos available on request."

No! Thanks! Really! 😬

Weirdest thing I ever sold was a round red plastic reflector lens and outer ring from the fender of an old Raleigh bicycle. Normally I would not have bothered (it didn't even have its backing plate), but I had bought a box of old bicycle parts, and successfully sold every single thing in it in separate auctions aside from this one little reflector found at the bottom, so I listed it just to see if I could score a perfect 100% re-sold from that one purchase.

Lo and behold, it got a bid, from a buyer over in England. Got paid, shipped it out, and around 10 days later I got a big long thank-you message from the buyer, who had restored her entire bicycle except for the reflector on the back, and I had that part, which made her entire day. So, that was cool... 😊
