The 25 Strangest Things Sold on eBay

What only people do not get rid of! An ordinary website for selling things has turned into a repository of the strangest objects that you would never think to put up for auction. In 2000, someone tried to push Iceland, in 2005 - the rights to a second name, and in 2010 - a ghost at all! So, from states to body parts, here's a list of the 25 weirdest things on eBay.

1. The Hollywood sign. The original letters were sold for $450,400 in November 2005.

2. Volkswagen of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. It was sold in May 2005 for $277,171.12.

4. A new look. The sea urchin, auctioned in 2004, turned out to be a new species, later named Coelopleurus Exquisitus.

8. New Zealand. An Australian resident tried to sell New Zealand with a starting price of 0.01 Australian dollars. The price reached three thousand before the auction was closed.

12. Iceland. Another country put up for sale — this time in connection with the financial crisis of 2008.

14. Fighter-bomber "McDonnell-Douglas" F / A-18. Mike Landa put up for sale a combat aircraft, which he got from a scrap yard. The FBI, however, told him that the plane could only be sold to a US citizen and should not leave American airspace.

23. The meaning of life. In 2000, a North Carolina resident put up for sale the meaning of life. The description said: "The meaning of existence has been revealed to me, and I will be happy to share this information." The lot went for $3.26.
