I have somthing like 100 feedback on e-bay i think 80% are from things ive bought. Once in a while ill get some random "gifts" people throw in or leave in the box? I was wondering if anyone had any funny or odd "gifts" thrown into the package your item came in?

Things ive got: bible, pack of 54 Q-tips, random powersupply, jerry seinfield stand up comedy CD. I listen to the CD alot, i been using the Q-tips past few weeks.

I just bought a CD changer on eBay, the guy left a Lee Ritenour disc in it. Haven't gotten around to listening to it yet, probably not my style.

I bought some opamps off of eBay (OPA2227s), it was 5 pieces for like 10 bucks or so.

Well, when they got here, I found not 5, but 12 opamps in the box. o.O;;;

I purchase a lot of old post cards from e-bay and sometimes additional cards have been added at no charge. I've also received a couple of religious booklets and calendars with my post card orders.

Also, I purchased an antique tea set for $45 U.S. and the seller was so embarrassed at not shipping it within 10 days of receiving payment ( she said she had been extremely busy ), she credited my paypal for the full amount and sent the items no charge. I still wound up recieving the items in less than 2 weeks from the date I paid. Sellers like that are rare.

I won an ebay auction once on a Vampirella comic book that was being sold by the comic book's editor. When I received the comic book a few days later I realized she had shipped me the wrong edition that was in mint condition. When I had informed her that about the mistake and that I would be returning the wrong edition she told me to keep it and that she would ship the correct one within a few days.

in the days before ebay, i bought a guitar from a guy off the alt.guitar newsgroup. not only did he send the axe, he sent a CD of his band playing the blues with him using the axe. now that's service.

Did you turn around and re-sell it on eBay for a profit?

Lol, what luck!! I would have hit the roof!

Sometimes when I order a CD off Half.com the seller throws another one in by the same artist. That's about as exciting as my free gifts are.
