I can't believe some of the stuff I run across looking through the consumer electronics (as well as other) auctions on ebay.

This most recent example made me laugh.

What is something everyone needs in their home??

A melted bose AM double cube speaker:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Doube-Cube-Bose-...QQcmdZViewItem

But according to the seller: "One speaker is in great condition while the other is alittle warped. A drape caught fire below the speaker and warped the housing alittle but did no damage to the sound of the speaker at all. I took pictures of the cones to prove that the square shape was not compromised and the cones and woofers are in perfect shape."

[sarcasm]I guess that would make me fell better if I was a bidder.[/sarcasm]

Check out the "ok" speaker, on the left in both pics:

Melting improves the sonics by reducing symmetry

He is probably getting ready to put the ice cube trays up for auction next. Look at his other items up for bid. I agree the stuff people sell is unbelievable, but I also can't believe the photos people use either.

well, I've seen a packet of bbq sauce go for $1 (the kind you get at a fast food restaurant), an american dollar go for $1.25 + stamp, and nothing (yes, the auction was selling nothing) for $225

I once saw an auction for an empty can of soda that supposedly had a ghost in it. It ended in the thousands.

Illegal? I highly doubt it, but Ebay might pull it. I might even bid on em
