Whether it's a Dorito full of screws, an unfinished meal, a sofa made of crushed doll heads or a stolen port-a-potty, people will still try to make a buck out of it online. Craigslist, Ebay, and trading pages are home of some of the weirdest business propositions and posts that you can come across. If it's dumb junk, then someone will try to sell it online.

Ornery British man, Dale Deeks underestimated humankind's capacity for keeping things aggressively insensitive, raunchy, and outright extreme. Dale's bold prank to "sell his girlfriend" on eBay backfired big time in his face, and he was eventually forced to take the listing down for violating terms, AND the f**king bids were totaling $119K.
Katherine Macpherson, 42, who previously modeled pictures of dresses on Ebay, has since discontinued her job due to relentlessly thirsty, and grossly insensitive pursuits on the part of Ebay's horny internet trolls. Macpherson says she'll receive up to 20 dirty messages a day; and we're talking dirty and explicit enough that they weren't appropriate for print.
"One person who sent me several unanswered messages and then became more insistent before sending me a picture of his penis was on my blocked bidder list and should not have been able to contact me but somehow still managed it.
"I reported him and was informed by eBay that if they received any more complaints from other users they may consider suspending his account. Via: The Sun

Ah, there you are 2017. I was wondering what kind of outrageous event might next dance across the social media news feeds, and this just about fits the bill. In all fairness, the Cheeto in consideration does bear a striking resemblance to the iconic Harambe (RIP).Yep. A Harambe-shaped Cheeto not only ignites a bidding war on Ebay, but someone legit threw out $100k for their bid.
Simon O'Kane put his wife Leandra up for sale on eBay with a detailed list of pros and cons of the potential investment.
The couple, who is from Wakefield, Yorkshire, have a history of pranking one another. On this occasion, Simon's prank was inspired when his wife was unsympathetic after he complained about feeling unwell.
Bids reached a whopping £65,880 within two days before the auction was inevitably pulled from eBay.
A guy who remains anonymous had his heart broken when he found out his wife had cheated on him with someone who "looks like Beppe from Eastenders."
Because memories of the lady who cheated on you with her personal trainer aren't easy to cope with on a daily basis, this dude posted some incredible ads on eBay to sell ex wife's convertible Smart car (piece of excrement), clothes and shoes.
