Funniest Ebay Auction in Recent Memory - Gun Content
Ebay Listing ^ | 2/28/2005 | rogris

Posted on 03/01/2005 8:22:38 AM PST by Poser

Check out the link for the funniest Ebay auction in recent memory. An Australian fellow posted 5 pieces of deprimed 303 brass with a stripper clip and obviously had a bit of trouble with Ebay

He seems to have gone off the deep end in a very amusing way. Ebay's fear of all things to do with guns has brought us this great bit of comedy.

A funny auction and a sad commentary on Ebay and political correctness.

Gotta love eBay... I once had lunch at Applebee's and in my salad I found this hige bacon bit. Thing was like 5/8 inch square. I bet my wife I could sell the thing on eBay and I listed it as a "curiosity" - got $14.95 for the damned thing.

At least I got a new tagline out of the deal.

Nice tag - years ago, a friend informed me that "Anything can be made foolproof, too bad things can't be made damn-fool proof."

LOL! Did you read the questions from other buyers? Do you accept beaver pelts as payment! Ha!

Every year at this time we have to go through 3 painful days of safety retraining. The horror stories we have to listen to from the OSHA consultant safety investigator would make you wonder how the injured party managed to remember to breathe air that day. Utter idiocy knows no bounds.

That is a great auction, thanks for posting it! But I think the record for "funniest all time eBay item" was the one about five years ago where someone put the Brooklyn Bridge up for sale. The cliche value alone was amusing, but the guy did a *great* job on the "for sale" page, and included engineering drawings, specifications, history of the bridge, and all sorts of other stuff. It was done deadpan, as if he was really putting the bridge up for sale and wanted to provide all the information a serious buyer might really need.

And then there was the classic one of the guy selling his ex-wife's wedding dress ("but I'm not bitter"), complete with long story about the failed marriage and his ex-wife's shortcomings, and a photo of himself modeling the dress...

The most relentlessly hilarious web content I've read since Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About.

Absolutely 'must read' stuff.

It looks like it was written by John Cleese.

I've always liked, "no system can be made foolproof, because the fools are so damned ingenious."

Also: "The only idiot-proof system is an idiot-free system."

My all time favorites on E-bay were right after the 04 elections. Someone was ebaying "Michael Moore'ss Relevence" and "Bruce Springsteen's Ego". Too funny!

Cute. Not as good as the man selling his ex-wife's wedding dress and even posing in it (with face blacked out), but still rather funny. Thanks for sharing.

I'm still a little unclear about the primer thing.
