Girlfriends: Some girls auctioned their services as "imaginary girlfriends” who would send the winning bidder pictures of themselves along with love letters, which they could use to prove to others they had a girlfriend.

Wedding dress: Nothing strange about selling a wedding dress, but the seller was auctioning his ex-wife's wedding dress. On top of that he modeled the dress for all to see.

Kidney: One man tried to sell his kidney on eBay. Little did he know it's illegal to buy or sell human organs online.

Toenail clippings: A girl once sold her toenail clippings on eBay, one clipping from each toe. She got $1 for the set. That's a bargain at only 10 cents a nail.

Britney's gum: Someone picked up the gum Britney Spears spit out at a London hotel and decided there must be a market for it.
