Internet Marketing and Selling Other Stuff

 Cindy has been spending every night this week posting items on Ebay (www.ebay.com) and we realized something – if Ebay can be used to sell items, then why can’t it be used to sell other stuff?So I decided to spend some time to take a look around ebay to find some of the more unique things that are for sale on Ebay, and some of the things that people can sell to make money on Ebay – and what I found was pretty interesting…The following are the top 5 strangest items and services I found on Ebay:

The Peanut Animal Family

Someone is actually selling three peanuts shaped like animals – they’re even named. The peanuts are peanut duck, peanut chick, and peanut quail. The link:

 The oddest thing is…people are actually bidding on them!Queen For a DayThe creator of this auction has come up with a very unique way to make money on Ebay. The auction poster has asked for an email from all bidders explaining why “you” are special. The chosen winner gets a free gift – how cool is that?

 Empty Flat Pepsi Can I don’t understand it one bit – but this person couldn’t redeem a crushed Pepsi can, so they’ve put it up on Ebay. At the moment there are 13 and the auction is up to $36. The catch is that the auction poster is promising to send a “gift” with it. Maybe it’s some kind of secret money giveaway? Maybe it’s a scam? Whatever it is, a certain number of people are bidding a decent amount of money on a flat Pepsi can!

 New York Rocks

It’s true – someone is selling rocks from New York. These are three simple rocks – one is white, one is brown, and one is grey. They are simply…rocks.

 And yes, believe it or not, people are bidding on them!Cemetery PlotIt’s true! This person is selling two cemetery plots side by side at Forest Hill Memorial Park in South Milwaukee, WI. The plot is for sale for $750. 

The Link:

 I have two questions. First – who would try to sell a cemetery plot on the internet? And second – who would actually buy a cemetery plot on the internet?One thing is for certain, Ebay can be a very weird and wild place, depending which category that you search in. Have a look around yourself – there are some very “odd” auctions going on every day
