Ebay:Lotus Elise

You may remember reading our original post on this Lotus Elise and feeling the abject horror that accompanies the site of such a car pointing towards the sky. Well, the owner has decided to salvage what he can from the debacle that saw his beloved Elise tumble from a mechanic's lift by selling it on eBay. Actually, he's really selling it because a bad motorcycle accident left his leg not strong enough to shift the car anymore. He does give pretty good disclosure of the accident on the auction page, saying that his buddy, a body repair man, could fix the damage done by the fall for $2,000. Hmm... no thanks. It sounds like the car is still in driveable condition, however, and at the moment the bidding has reached only $13,601 with a litle over 3.5 days to go. Somebody needs to give this car a good home and nurse it back to health.

Ebay To Suspend All Virtual Item Auctions

A new report from technology news site Slashdot has revealed that online auction house Ebay intends to remove listings for all virtual items, regardless of type or game title, clamping down on third-party sales of gold and accounts from many popular MMOs.

Despite the Slashdot piece further explaining continued in-game item and currency sales through third party firms as IGE, previously profiled on Gamasutra in August, and Sony Online Entertainment's own internal Station Exchange for its line-up of MMO titles, eBay has decided to close down all virtual item listings due to their inherent 'legal complexities.' The policy currently in effect covers virtual items of any type, including in-game currency, items, and entire accounts or characters from MMOs, even up to, the report notes, 'neopoints' currency for casual virtual-pet website Neopets. Speaking to Slashdot, eBay spokesperson Hani Durzy told the site that the decision, rather than a new policy to end auctions, was instead simply a follow-through of existing site policy that sellers must own the intellectual property being sold. Durzy is quoted as saying the decision is intended to be "for the overall health of the marketplace," and that item listings would be pulled without punitive action for initial offenders, withholding actual seller removal for repeat offenders.

However, a large amount of virtual currency and objects from games such as World Of Warcraft and Ultima Online were still available on eBay as of press time, raising questions as to how swiftly and comprehensively the massive site could crack down on those posting such items - or, indeed, whether an active removal process was occurring.

As you can see no expense was spared when building this gem. There is no official property deed but I will make an honorary one on some birch bark and mail it to you. It may not hold in the court of law but it will hold in the "Court of Lorne" the most important court of them all. Town builders Armand & Allan Carrier poured their heart and soul into this property and would like to extend a world wide invitation to own this outright.

Ebay.Win your own Emmy

Is your name Wilfrid Shingleton, Julian Sacks, Jean Taillandier, Robert Christides or Cheryal Kearney? No? Then in truth, you don't deserve this Emmy award, which was presented to them in 1980 for a TV show called Gauguin The Savage.

But what the hell, the trophy's being flogged on eBay, so anyone can have it. It actually belonged to Christides, and was awarded for Outstanding Art Direction for a Limited Series or a Special. But if you put it in a glass case and don't let anyone near it, you can pretend you won it for your starring appearance in Baywatch. Or something. The current bid is $710.

Ebay. Ferrari Enzo Golddigga

Yahoo! News is reporting that a woman in Germany is auctioning off her Ferrari Enzo on eBay with a little added-value bonus – herself. The 26-year-old who claims she worked as a singer in Syria has put the starting price at $1.6 million, and while we have yet to find the actual eBay listing for the car and its cargo, Yahoo! News reports there has yet to be a bid. At the time of this writing, the only two (1, 2)Enzos on eBay Motors did not include a woman with their purchase price.

The woman, who goes by the name of Leila, says she'll meet prospective buyers, but requires a bidder's passport and proof of capital. Good thing we never leave home without proof of capital, otherwise that'd be one very awkward first date. One of the Enzos on eBay that has only 465 miles on its odo can be bought for the Buy It Now price of $1.2 million, which means this woman believes she's a steal at $400,000.
