Have you ever visited a yard sale and marveled at the bizarre treasures on display? Picture a homemade deer-poop paperweight for ten dollars, a lonely left boot, or a belt with a glass eye in its buckle. Such fantastic oddities exist and have been sold on eBay, where a collection of these items serves as a hilarious "museum" of priceless artifacts. With thirty million registered users, eBay has become the most popular shopping website, drawing everyone from grandmothers to teenagers eager to buy and sell just about anything. While searching for rare deals on hard-to-find gifts, buyers often encounter the unusual and unexpected. The author has curated one hundred quirky items, photographing them as if they were precious jewels. Among these are a trucker's prayer plaque, a real frog coin purse poised to leap off the page, and a strand of Abraham Lincoln's hair presented as a historical gem. Each image is accompanied by the seller's original sales pitch and amusing email exchanges about the objects' improbable uses. This pocket-sized catalog of curiosities makes for a delightful novelty gift for any eBay enthusiast in your family.
