for the seller and convenience for the buyer.
This is where eBay comes in the limelight. Every online shoppers
and online traders can benefit a lot in eBay. But because of its
wide diversity, things being sold on eBay had increased to amore

Yes! With the wide access and convenience eBay gives to its
members, there were reports that even the weirdest things were
auctioned and even sold on eBay.
Here are some of them:
1. Ghost in a Jar
There was an actual report about an item, dubbed as a "ghost in
a jar", being sold on eBay. The seller narrated in his item
description how he got the jars (there were two, actually). The
seller claimed that the remaining jar contains some "black
thing" based on what happened to the other jar after it fell to
the ground and emitted some sort of black smoke.
The auctioned placed 60 bids during the listing and had reached
$90 million. Though, there are no concrete reports as to whether
the sale was really closed or who got the item in that amount.
2. Vampire killing kit
This refers to a kit suitable for some "vampire hunters". This
kit includes an ebony wood stake, a crossbow with four
silver-tipped arrows, a variety of surgical instruments, and a
large bottle of holy water.
3. UFO Detector
This is a modified magnetometer manufactured by a Brazilian
company. It was said on the auction that this item can actually
detect an approaching UFO or can spot an UFO activity.
4. Russian Test space Shuttle
It's a spacecraft built by a Russian company. The actual reserve
price for this item is $2 million but was auctioned and bid on
eBay with only a small percentage from its actual selling price.
5. Serial Killer's Fingernails
This refers to the fingernails of a certain Roy Norris who
sailed to Southern California, in 1979, for a killing binge that
murdered five people. He was with a certain Lawrence Bittaker.
