Strangest thing you've seen listed on eBay?

While bidding on a couple of things on Ebay I clicked on 'sellers other items' well.... it seems I am missing out in making a small fortune. I admit not the strangest things in the world but confusing!

Empties - mostly Moltin brown bottles etc but why? Why would you buy this?!

Clothes tags, as in the label that you normally rip off and stick in the bin. Again mostly designer but my I genuinely don't get it. Scamming purposes maybe?

Just wondering what other oddities people have found for sale?

I was looking for a specific colour of school socks once and stumbled on a boarding school for middle aged men who liked to be spanked.

My mum once listed a pair of hush puppies shoes, in all innocence, as 'well worn' and she couldn't believe how much someone paid for them (over £20! And they really were well worn, they were quite grim)

Yes mother. Some crusty old pervert is currently wanking into your 'well worn' hush puppies.

A warning from the wise here.... be extremely careful what you click on when one of these threads comes up.

I once innocently clicked on a link in the "this is definitely a sex table isn't it?" thread, it was definitely a sex table and a jolly good chuckle was had by all involved.

It was months before my "since you looked at this, you may be interested in this" suggestions calmed down enough that I could browse eBay in company, without random nipple clamps and gimp masks popping up HmmGrin
