Weird eBay auctions on Who Would Buy That?

ABOUT

We thought you'd never ask. Find out what this site is about, who's behind it, and who's talking about it.

Hey, guess what! One of us wrote a book! It has all the sass of WWBT and you'll probably learn something too.


CONTRIBUTE

We love hearing about weird eBay auctions, so if you find any please tell us! Closed auctions are fine, and so are items from other auction websites.

We accept lots of different things, but please don't submit:
- anything with the words "fart" or "gag" in the title
- kangaroo scrotum purses
- joke auctions that have already been listed many times (mystery auctions, ad space on body parts, 'haunted' items, Virgin Mary or Jesus images on food/rocks/etc.)

Also, please don't send attachments or HTML, just URLs of funny eBay auctions, and tell us why you think the items are worthy.

So. Found an amusing, unusual or downright bizarre eBay auction? Send it in!

Happy Valentine's Day! If you forgot to get your sweetie a present, fear not! WWBT is here to help with these last-minute gift suggestions:

You can't go wrong with false childhood memories.

Candy is one of the most popular V-Day gifts, and it's easy to see why; what guy or gal wouldn't be swept away by a box of chocolate body parts?

We just love getting kissing advice from complete strangers!

What could be more romantic than a Harley Davidson necklace? Not much (although the FBI files on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre come close!)

Forget flowers and teddy bears -- today's discerning school children are exchanging valentines that depict the excitement of NASCAR.

It's just not a holiday if you're not wearing an overdone theme sweater with light-up panties. Oh, and don't forget your scrunchie!

Planning on popping the question this evening? Here's a tip: girls like nothing better than receiving a cheap plastic novelty engagement ring to remember that special moment.

And finally, if you're the one whose beloved forgot what day it is, a few good whacks with this heart-shaped mallet ought to help him or her remember next year.
