14 Weirdest & Strangest Things People Tried To Sell On The Internet

Internet is a strange and weird place. It’s full of quirky people who never fail to amaze you. Let’s have a look at some of the strangest things people tried to sell on the internet and “almost” succeeded

1. A ghost in a jar

Site: Ebay
Price: Closing bid was $55,992 (Rs. 36 Lakh approx.)

Yup, that’s how much people would pay to keep a ghost as their pet. However, the final bidder did not pay the money. Maybe he came to his senses!

 

2. Brush & toothpaste combo pack, only for “genune” buyers

Site: OLX
Price: Rs. 25/-

What do you do when you are going abroad and can’t get a visa for your toothbrush, that’s right you sell it online! Used for HARDLY 1 year, now that’s what I call a real bargain. Also “brockers please excuse”.

 

3. Wife for sale, at a “throw away price”

Site: OLX
Price: Rs. 100/-

Apparently this man got so fed up with his wife’s gossiping habits that he decided to put her up for sale. I really want to know what happened to the guy when his wife found out!

 

4. Corn flake shaped like the state of Illinois

Site: E-Bay
Price: Ending bid- $1,350 (Rs. 87K approx.)

And the best part is the winning bidder paid $1,350 and bought this. So from next time observe your corn-flakes carefully before eating them, you may earn a fortune from it.

 

5. Rs. 10 notes with lucky numbers

Site: Quikr
Price: Rs. 2000/-

Because who wouldn’t buy currency worth a total of Rs. 20 by paying Rs. 2000. Lucky numbers FTW!

 

6. Haunted Rubber Duck

Site: E-Bay
Price: $107.50 (Rs. 7k approx.)

People love haunted items, apparently! The final bidder for this haunted duck paid an amount of $107.50 to acquire it.

 

7. Christiano Ronaldo

Site: E-Bay
Price: £ 10,000 (Rs. 10 Lakh approx.)

Yup, that’s right! Some guy tried to sell Christiano Ronaldo online with the starting bid of £ 10,000. Only if Real Madrid knew!

 

8. New Zealand. Yes, the whole country!

Site: E-Bay
Price: Bidding started at AU $ 0.01 and ended at AU $3000(Rs. 1.4 Lakh approx.) before the item was removed

That’s right, some Australian gentleman tried to sell the country of New-Zealand! The bidding even reached the amount of AU $3000 before it was removed from the site. I guess you can’t sell countries without the consent of its inhabitants.

 

9. The meaning of life

Site: E-Bay

Don’t spend your whole life searching for the meaning of life, just pay $3.26 and it’s yours.

 

10. Britney Spears’ hair

Site: E-Bay
Price: starting bid- $1,000,000 (Rs. 6.4 Crores approx.)

The salon who shaved Britney Spears’ hair in 2008 was behind this ad. However, they took the ad down after the website was flooded with similar fake adverts.

 

11. A dead fairy

“Sir, would you like to buy a dead fairy?”, “No thanks, I already have a live one!”
