On eBay right now, there is an iMac G5 that 10 people have bid up to $37,000. The same seller also has another one that 5 people have bid up to $27,000.
From now on, whenever I sell computer equipment, I’ll be sure to list it in both the:
Collectibles > Arcade, Jukeboxes & Pinball > [...]

At first glance – this may seem like a foolish purchase. After all – who would want to own a stainless-steel sports car with a whole load of extra weight on the back of it… but for an avid eBayer, this could be your best friend.

For less than the price of a used US Military HMMWV (aka “Hummer”) a Chinese business man bought a used Czech Mig-21. The $24,730 jet was last flown in 1995, but – unlike old jets sold off by the US Government to museums and such – this jet was not decommissioned. In theory, you could [...]

What do you do with 13,482 rare comic books – dating back to 1966? Well – some comic book shop bought such a collection (perhaps at an estate sale? I can’t imagine someone spending their entire life collecting this junk just up-and-selling-it) and now they are peddling it on eBay.

Some guy is selling about three childhoods-worth of GI-Joes. (see the next page for a listing.) If you ever played with GI-JOES as a child, I bet you can find the toy you played with here.

$2 bills are of special value to me, as most of you know. We have been using a $2 bill as the trophy for the Sheep Seekers tournament for a long time now, and never had any bad luck because of it. (at least not that I can remember.)

This guy on eBay is auctioning off a Mini-Wheats box with an American Airlines plane on the front, and a 9/11/01 expiration date on the top. For some reason, this guy thinks that this box is worth $100,000.
Sure, he says that he will donate 10% of the proceeds to some 9/11 children’s fund – [...]

A German businessman whose camera was stolen was relieved to find the same model for sale on eBay. When it arrived after he bought it however, he discovered it was his OWN, stolen camera!
