The Most Memorable Sales on EBay

ebay it´s fantastic..jajajjaaa..

1.The Virgin Mary Toast
Bought by the internet casino firm goldenpalace.com for a hole-in-the-ceiling $28,000, this decade-old piece of toast had the supposed image of the Virgin Mary imprinted on it. It was sold by a Mrs. Duyser, who said she first noticed the image of a lady imprinted on a burnt piece of toast back in 1994. She's claimed that it's brought her luck-in the enviable form of $70,000 in winnings at a local Florida casino. All she's done so far? Stored it in a plastic container, the toast kept remarkably well but even before the sale, Mrs. Duyser cautioned that it was "not intended for consumption". Talk about luck!

2.Dorito Chip (The Pope's Hat)
A piece of Dorito chip that looked like the pope's hat sold for $1209. Together with this, the online casino goldenvillage.com has been garnering some odd publicity by their "supernatural" eBay purchases, including a piece of chicken breast resembling the late Pope John Paul II for $232.50 and the Holy Pretzel that was said to resemble the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Jesus for an obscene $10,600. The showstopper acquisition of the internet gambling house is a $65,000 'ghost cane', a metal walking cane that Mary Anderson of Indiana put up on sale, hoping to ease her 6-year old son's apprehensions that his grandfather's ghost was haunting their home.

3.Bridgeville, Sold!
The tiny San Francisco area county was the talk of the town when an unknown developer snagged it in an eBay auction for $1.8M. While the deal was never closed and the winning bidder backed out, the news set a frenzy of real estate postings on eBay. Succeeding postings of the town, that dates back to the early 1900s and comes with its own functional post office, cemetery, a riverbank, and some houses and townsfolk, have been unsuccessful. It was finally bought in 2004 by businessman Bruce Krall for $700,000, who relisted the town on eBay in 2006.

4.Ad Space on Your Head
Andrew Fischer of Omaha, Nebraska was not kidding when he auctioned off his head on eBay. The winner would be entitled to have a non-permanent tattoo on Fischer's forehead for 30 days as an advertisement campaign. By the time the auction ended, Fischer received a bid of $37,375 which he says will be used to pay for college. The winning bidder was SnoreStop, one of the leading sellers of anti-snoring medications in the United States. Of the affair, Fischer announced that "I am proud to be aligned with a product that has proven so helpful to so many people, though I doubt I'll be getting much sleep over the next four weeks!"

5.Virginity, To the Highest Bidder
English university student Rose Reid posted her virginity on eBay and within three days was flooded with more than 400 offers and a bid of £10,000. Asked about the novelty of her idea, Reid explained "It started as a joke, and ended up as 'why not?' I am devoting too much time to paid employment and not enough to studying. I am not achieving as much as I could. I'll leave university £15,000 in debt. That's why I am taking this drastic action." eBay eventually withdrew her listing, though Rosie carried on the auction through her own website, closing a final deal with a 44-year old engineer for £8,400.Celebrity Memorabilia
