i belive the correct pun was

"you sure picked a winner"

i bought an invisible car on ebay and then found an invisible stack of $100 bills.

I haven't done too badly. I bought one set of headphones and got a free headphone stand thrown in that I really like (thanks jpelg)

I also bought a Sunfire amp and got a manual signed by Bob Carver. Nothing to write home about, but it beats having a manual not signed by him. I guess I have to track him down and kill him if I want it to be valuable and I just haven't had the time to spare!

hmm, a cd player i bought once had some poorly recorded jazz sampler cd in it. then I also bought these unopened Neon Genesis Evangelion UCC Coffee cans (an anime collectible) and the seller threw in a photocopied storyboard of another anime (yes, i have sealed canned coffee from 1997

).

yeah...i wish i could find cash in my ebay wins. don't you love that feeling when you find cash you never knew u had in jacket/pant pockets?

i get those all the time. i got one stuck to my monitor, another in my calculator (to make it "faster"

), and just plain all over the place. everywhere but my cellphone.

other than that, the best gift i got was newspaper...

oh well.
but my uncle got a home video left in a camcorder once. he tried to send it back but couldn't. the seller just ignored it. i guess he doesn't want it back *shrugs*

I ordered the eos 300d camerahouse and it came with the lens kit. Saved me a few hundred, nice!

Once I got a strob packed in some corn-starch-material that resembled cheese doodles, quite a snack after some added herbsalt

Try rainbow foil instead.

This didn't happen on e-bay, but I have a friend who purchased an old house in an estate sale after it's owner who had been declared insane years earlier, died. Shortly after he moved in, while cleaning up the old unfinished basement, he noticed a string coming out of the top of an exposed concrete block at the top of the basement wall with the end tied to a nail. He tugged on the string and out came an old canvas bag filled with nearly $20,000 in old bills. This put him on a six month scavenger hunt where eventually he found a total of just under $100,000 stashed in various places .... mostly in old coffee cans burried in the back yard. All the bills had the old King's picture on them (we've had the Queen's picture since 1954) and were out of circulation, but were still valid currency. This occurred in the early 80's and at that time he'd barely paid $100,000 for the house.

My sister-in-law's new place came with a cat, (actually really friendly, it's just that if you're leaving, he'd rather stay with the house), and a horse. The horse was in bad shape and was put down. I don't actually agree with that because she was only 18 and there was plenty to try first, but not everyone puts a big value on a horse's life.
