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!

How convenient: "I don't know to much about time machines or electronics, but from my observations I believe that the machine ... is now in a non working condition."

(And speaking of time machines...)

(thanks to everyone who submitted these!)

Apparently the whole "haunted auction" thing is still alive, so to speak - at least, judging by the number of haunted submissions we receive. It's a bit done to death (haha), but clearly the genre still has its fans. So, without further ado, here's the latest batch of ghostly goodies up for grabs on eBay:

(thanks, Danny!)

(And speaking of His Holiness... the man is dead. Couldn't you at least wear clean footwear to his funeral?)

First, we highly doubt that the late Pope John Paul II is suddenly appearing in people's mirrors. And second, if he is, don't you think he'd find one that's a little bit nicer?

(thanks, Jared!)

"Uh, not exactly."

(thanks, Jet!)

We have no idea what they're selling, but the auction has a picture of a monkey so it must be clever.

(thanks, Caressa!)

And speaking of fruit that looks like animals...

(thanks, Jason!)

The Echidna (also known as the Spiny Anteater) is a primitive, egg-laying mammal that lives in Australia. And occasionally it turns up disguised as a small coconut.

(thanks, Lee!)

Did you ever wish you could introduce two sellers?

(thanks, Billy!)

More crimes of fashion: "This jacket has "IT", it's got the "WOW FACTOR" that many of us glitzy divas crave!" (Glitzy divas in New Orleans, you get your own special jacket.)

Here's a shirt for the gal who just loves the look of tire tracks across her chest.

And if you've ever dreamed of having Cher wrapped around your leg, these jeans are for you.

And finally, what man doesn't like to think there's a raging bull in his trousers?

Proceeds from this auction will be used to pay for my son's therapy, which he'll need a lot of after having been forced to wear these overalls throughout his childhood.

Let's play a little Jeopardy! -- WWBT-style.

ANSWER:
Buttons, bobbleheads, programs, t-shirts, ticket stubs, and autographed photos.

QUESTION:
What tacky items are sold at baseball parks on opening day, in arenas at rock concerts, and on eBay after the death of a Pope?

(oh but that we were kidding)

Forget condoms, IUDs and the pill. This story is the best birth control we've ever seen.

(thanks, Jason!)

Terri Schiavo may be resting in peace, but there's no sleep for legions of eBayers looking to make a quick buck from her death.

Most are offering the usual memorabilia, like magazines and domain names. But wait, it gets even weirder: you can also buy cufflinks and fan art, a letter from Michael Schiavo and possibly the most tasteless souvenir imaginable: a feeding tube crucifix.

(thanks to all who contributed to this!)

(also, while we have your attention, please make sure you have a living will.)

Some cooks have separate cutting boards for meat, poultry, seafood and produce. Oh yes, and human flesh.

(thanks, Claire!)
