13 Outrageous eBay Auctions You Won't Believe

#1 The Shat's Kidney Stone

A Texas seller in 2009 tried to sell one of his kidneys on eBay and had a bid of $25,000 for one of his organs. However, the sale was discontinued and removed by the site when it was discovered that selling of human organs violates federal anti-organ trafficking laws. On the other hand, selling of kidney stones is perfectly fine, though slightly gross. Just ask William Shatner, who hawked his kidney stone for a whopping $75,000 in 2006 and donated the proceeds to charity. The winner of the stone was GoldenPalace.com, an online gaming site that frequently purchases oddball items and shows them off in their museum.

#2 Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese

Another amazing purchase by GoldenPalace.com and one they seem to do quite often is the religious-themed miracle novelty item. They paid $165,000 for an apple pie that had the face of Jesus burnt into the crust. Many sellers looking to make a quick buck turn to GoldenPalace.com and they usually bid on most all odd items and win them. Such is the case of this grilled-cheese portrait of the Virgin Mary that fetched $28,000 from the casino when it sold on eBay in 2004. If only we could all be so blessed.

#3 The Entire Town Of Bridgeville

If you ever wanted to own an entire town, they have been selling on eBay quite a bit as of late. The most recent, the town of Bridgeville in California which has been up on the auction site several times. It originally sold in 2002 for $1.8 million and included 83 acres and a dozen homes and cabins. When the final deal fell through, another buyer bought the town for $700,000. However, costs and taxes caused the town to be sold once more. This time, it was placed back up on eBay and sold to a Las Angeles entertainment company for $1.2 million, with plans to reconstruct the town into a resort complex. The bidder passed away just two weeks later and the sale was never finalized. The town is up for sale once more.

#4 Michael Phelps Bong

Any fan of swimmer and Olympian Michael Phelps would kill for a chance to get ahold of one of his 23 gold medals, but perhaps it's best if they just get the next best thing. The bong depicted in the infamous athlete's marijuana photos went up for sale in early 2016 for an asking price of $10,000. Bidding went up as high as $17,000 for the glass bong before eBay took the auction down. Police located the seller and charge him with the sale of stolen property and for selling drug paraphernalia.

#5 The Window Used To Shoot Kennedy From

How can a window fetch a winning bid of over $3 million on eBay? When it's said to be the window where Lee Harvey Oswald shot John F. Kennedy. The window and frame from Oswald's "sniper's perch" at the Texas School Book Depository were sold by the local family that owned the depository. The winner offered a massive $3,001,501 in 2007 to own the apparent piece of history. But two years later, the authenticity was contested. A Kennedy memorabilia collector claimed to own the "real" snipers perch. The dispute went to a Dallas Courtroom after both tried to sell their windows. Turns out that the winner of the first window didn't even have the funds to pay up, although the window was revealed to be authentic. The perch is now in a museum thanks to historians.

#6 Just Call Him Band-Aid

In 2001, Jason Black and Frances Schroeder offered the naming rights to their unborn son on eBay. The New York couple hoped to earn a small fortune by naming their first child after a product that may be willing to bid high for the advertising rights. They ruled out any cigarette or beer company names though considered "Budweiser" after they were offered $2 million from the company. That bid fell through and Johnson & Johnson offered the couple $500,000 to name him 'Band Aid' but that also fell through. After the auction was revoked by eBay, they named their son Zane, for free!

#7 When Is A Book More Than A Book

eBay is full of auctions for books, all sorts of books. You can buy textbooks, children's books, nonfiction books, used books, new books, books about steroids and, apparently, books containing actual steroids. One company secretly inserted syringes full of steroids inside hollowed out books about steroids and how to use them. The books were selling like hot cakes to buyers worldwide, until a team of investigative journalists at MSNBC spent three months uncovering the scheme in 2005. The investigation finally revealed that the books sold for up to $1,000 each and over 3,300 were sold in a seven-month period on the auction site.

#8 Spy Cam Helped Capture AlQueda members

There are thousands of used cameras on eBay, but none like the one purchased for $31. by a 28-year-old British delivery man in 2013. The unsuspecting buyer bought the Nikon Coolpix camera and used it while on his vacation. When he returned home and viewed his vacation photos, he discovered that he had top-secret data and his camera was once owned by a British spy. The unnamed delivery man unwittingly purchased the names, fingerprints, and photos of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists from an MI6 agent. The breach in national security led to an official investigation and eventual arrest of suspects.

#9 Touched For The Very First Time

When 22-year-old Natalie Dylan from San Diego attempted to sell her virginity on eBay in January the auction site promptly removed the listing. But, not until it had already earned close to $25,000 in bids from would-be suitors. When the auction was removed, the legal brothel and infamous Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Las Vegas,Nevada, decided to help her with her efforts by selling the supposed virgins 'first time' at their ranch. Her indecent proposition is still up for the highest bidder but is reportedly at a cool $3.7 million already.

#10 Spend Eternity With a Star

A cemetery crypt located directly above Marilyn Monroe's final resting place sold on eBay for $4.6 million after a 10-day auction. The starting price was $500,000 and was put up for sale by Elsie Poncher, the widow of the man who originally bought the vault from Joe DiMaggio during the slugger's divorce from Monroe in the 1950s. Poncher is in the tomb now but will be moved to another location once the sale is finalized. The space is directly above Monroe's final resting spot but the space on the left is reserved for Playboy entrepreneur Hugh Heffner. Mrs. Poncher is using the money to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.

#11 Now, Where Did We Leave Those Pulitzers?

New York's Newsday was blindsided in 2007 by the auction of three Pulitzer prize medals that once belonged to the paper. The gold medals awarded for excellence in public-service journalism, one from the 1950s and two from the 1970s, appeared on eBay and were later sold at a California auction for a total of $15,500. The magazine's editors believed the gold medals were in a safe, locked away, though nobody had checked on them in the vault in many years. When a locksmith opened the vaults they found the prizes were indeed missing. Authorities confiscated the medals and returned them to the magazine.

#12 Use Your Head Man

You can sell anything on eBay, as you have seen. If you think you don't have anything of value to put up for sale, try auctioning off a body part to the highest bidder. If you have a forehead, you've got a chance of making big bucks. That's what Andrew Fisher discovered when he put his forehead up for sale as advertising space in 2005. SnoreStop paid $37,375 to advertise a non-permanent logo for their snoring remedy on his forehead for one month. But Kari Smith of New York took the idea even further when she offered up her forehead for a permanent tattoo. Goldenpalace.com (yep, the same people who bought all of the weird crap) paid her $10,000 for the honor of placing their domain name on the stay-at-home mom;s forehead. She wanted to use the money to pay for her son's education.

#13 The Biebs Sold His Hair To Help Animals

Of course, it's not surprising that body parts become even more valuable when they belong to someone famous. And when that person is Justin Bieber. The body part is his much talked about hair for the crazy value of $40,668. When the singer took a lock of his newly chopped hair to his interview with Ellen Degeneres in 2011, the TV talk show host immediately put it on eBay. The animal rescue organization, The Gentle Barn Foundation, was the lucky recipient of funds raised by the sale of the Biebs hair.
