MOST UNUSUAL! LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to start this string in the hopes that we might get a few more people to start posting. This board is getting a TON of hits but not as many post. It's OK by me by the way if you just want to come in, visit, and read. But I'll bet some of you out there will be able to add to this string. Here goes...

I want to know what the MOST unusual item for sale on the online auctions is that you have seen. Or the greatest bargain you got. Or the funniest ad. I will start it out telling you about something I saw for sale about 2 years ago or so.

I was browsing about eBay and decided to look in one of the unusual areas. Low and behold guess what was there. The headline read:
"Nuclear Sub, Still Works" or something to that effect.
It seems that someone somewhere had an old retired sub and decided to part with it. It was a Private Auction so who knows who ended up with it but the final bid was a lot. The ad told of the vessel's history, it's problems, it's potential, how one might go about securing the permission to own it and even had lots of pics. I have seen one young lady offer up "her virginity" and a man in NYC offered "one of his kidneys". (Both of these ads were pulled by eBay by the way) But of all of the ads I have seen that made it through to the end of the auction the sub would have to be the most unusual. And the most expensive.

OK, I want to hear some of yours. If it's something still on eBay right now feel free and post the URL to it. Let's have some fun with this!

Take care all,
Jim Wilson
