Thursday, May 4, 2006 - The strange things you can find on eBay
With nothing particularly interesting going on at the 2 message boards I like to read, I was bored outta my gourd. George wanted to look at farm equipment on eBay...cause you know with that tilled up bit of dirt outside and thriving seedlings in the classroom we're farmers now right?!
After looking at a selection of items we have no use for and could never afford anyways, dh was bored as well. The children were occupied with "cleaning" the playroom, and the baby was asleep so we had a bit of time on our hands.
We played my favorite I've-got-too-much-time-on-my-hands game...eBay scavenger hunt.
We started coming up with crazy stuff that no one would buy or sell in a million years...or so we thought...
Used underwear? they got 'em.
tampons? check.
pregnancy tests?...new and used...yeah, I said used
toilet paper?..yup
hair clippings?...oh yeah.
There were even catagories (not just listings, but catagories) for "real dog poo" and worse
, but we didn't even check into those...
Like the ad says,
"Whatever "it" is- you can find it on eBay!"
Yeah, we gotta get a hobby.

Mind you I can't talk - I've come here from paying for some nice boots I spotted on guess where? Ebay! Oh, and leaving feedback for a pretty tee shirt! My husband goes hunting for art on ebay too.
I like the scavenger hunt idea very nuch - and did you ever hear the song about all the stuff you could buy?!
Anyway thanks for your comment on my blog :-) I'm not much good at accents but now I'm trying to imagine you with your Southern Drawl ;-) My accent's a mixture of 'standard' English and Yorkshire - a little bit of the accent you might hear on James Herriot's vet stories, if you have those. Or Heartbeat if that's come over the pond.
Eh, lass, it's reet graidlaih ;-) (reet graidlaih = right gradely = good)
But no, my accent's not quite that strong!

My husband knew someone who sold some kind of old candy wrapper on ebay. Just to see if they could. And they did! We found an old fishing lure and sold it on there - turned out that it was collectible. We made about $65!
Thanks for coming by my blog. I can't believe you all got a fighting rooster. Boo scary!!
