EverHEALTHY Colon Cleanse Digest Detox : Lose Weight!*

Hey, it's this guy again!

While there is something to the health claims involved, I'm really hesitant to recommend colon cleanse products on eBay, especially when the seller is almost trying to discourage feedback ratings by keeping the sale as "private." I mean, what is the purpose of that? Why is something like this something that one should be embarrassed about buying? It's not like they're buying adult material on eBay.

But, on the plus side, they got rid of that really unappealing image of that really big fat guy.

Now a word from our sponsor: Inogen One

Inogen One manufactures portable oxygen concentrators for special needs patients requiring additional oxygen supply. These can include emphysema patients and seniors. Lightweight and portable, this is easier to cart around as it does not require the use of bulky (and potentially flammable) oxygen tanks.

Elderly patients may find use for this product, as may athletes, smokers, or people who don't get enough fresh air. Just remember that our bloodstream has a maximum absorption point of oxygen.

CATHOLIC CHURCH ALTAR LIGHT FIXTURES LARGE 3ft HEAVY

You want light fixtures? This guy has 'em.

Pretty much guaranteed to break both your back and your bank, these things are 3 feet tall and if you can believe from the auction header, HEAVY.

Interestingly enough, the person doesn't include an actual shipping price for this item. He doesn't even indicate how much it weighs, except for HEAVY. But for the hefty price of $6000, he's aiming this towards those who actually have churches. Considering that the clergy is supposed to take vows of poverty, how can they usually afford something like this?

But then, when I recall my Catholic school days, the parish pastor sure did drive a nice car.

VINTAGE BULER DIGITAL SWISS WATCH WORKS THEN STOP PARTS

With Christmas just around the corner, good luck on getting stuff shipped to you on time. But, for the diver in your family, a technomarine watch would make a really nice gift. But if you don't like that person that much, there are other options. Like this.

Having done my first attempt at an eBay auction a few weeks back (no bids, no takers), it's hard to do much when you only have one picture to work with (after that, they charge ya). But, when you have a little more capital and a lot more items to sell, you can do whatever the heck you want. But this guy actually went to the trouble of photographing all of the notes when he could've just wrote out the description.

LEATHER DOG COSTUME dog paws with matching hood MASK

Dog supplies are one of the biggest expenses of pet ownership, but if you know where to shop, you can easily cut your prices down. Or, if you're one of those people with way too much money on your hand, you can get anything from fancy jewelry to clothes for your pet. Considering that it's getting cold out, that might not be such a bad idea.

Except when I came across this. A frickin' LEATHER DOG COSTUME.

I have full respect for the community and believe that whatever people do behind closed doors is their own business, as long as it's consensual and nobody is really getting hurt. But somehow, I can't shake the suspicion that real self-respecting members of the BDSM community wouldn't actually dress their dog up like this. I dunno...

Get Government Grant Coffee and Espresso Machines Info

It's the equivalent of spam on eBay, these endless streams of "information products" which promise a lot for things that you can get for free on the Internet. But this one in particular is allowing you to get government grants for purchasing espresso machines.

This one in particular is a little bit alarming. If this is a virtual item, why is he charging shipping? Last I checked, e-mail was FREE.

Government grant information is not hard to find if you just LOOK.

Frontier Hotel Dice LasVegas Old Logo Hughes Not Cancel

On the occasions I've gone to casinos, I've made a point of grabbing a free deck of cards. Casinos have policies about rotating out decks of cards and dice so that they can't be manipulated, allowing gamblers to cheat. So, when you have items that are essentially given out for free, especially from a LasVegas hotel, one of the gambling capitals, why does it sell for so much?

This guy is selling a set of dice, which you can get for free from any casino. But, the seller does indicate that they haven't been "canceled" (I'm assuming that means pulled out of circulation). The words "trash" and "treasure" are coming to mind all of a sudden.

(New 101 Tips To Lose Weight) Free SH + Resell ($59.99)

If you want to get back into shape, eBay has everything that you need...strength equipment, supplements, exercise clothes, and motivational videos. And then they have eBooks for information that you can easily get for free all over the Internet.

The seller makes huge promises, although losing 10 pounds is NOT HARD. By now, everybody should know that the first 10 pounds of weight loss in every weight loss program is the easiest, and then after that, it becomes difficult. But, when you have all these people out there preying on the insecurities of the general public...

And what the heck are they talking about resell value? How can this be a $59.99 value when you can get this information for free from the local library?

UNIQUE SATANIC OCCULT EQUESTRIAN HORSESHOE LUCK SYMBOL

For the equestrian on your gift buying list, you can get horse riding apparel, horseback riding lessons, or even a whole horse. Or, you can get this.

The seller doesn't seem to know the origins of this item in particular, although indicates that there are a lot of contradictions within the item itself. An inverted horse shoe, meaning bad luck, but saying "good luck" on it, and then putting in an inverted pentagram, which is the opposite of a Satanic symbol.

It's hard to put a value on something like this, unless you have expertise in this area, but somehow, I don't see it being worth the opening bid of $80. It's not even made of anything precious...it's brass.

Cow String Light Set/indoor/outdoor/Party/Vet/Dorm room

You want tacky? eBay has tacky. You could probably do much better in the ways of outdoor lighting, but if you want stung up lights that vaguely resemble glow-in-the-dark cows, eBay has them.

It would've been kinda nice if they were out of the package so you could see what they actually look like, and as it is, this little picture looks a little bit nondescript and random, so it's kind of a hard sell. But, considering that eBay usually charges you for every extra image, I'm guessing that they couldn't exactly spring for it.

MAILBOX DECORATION Replacement Alert Flag COW farm

When only parts break on your stuff, it's always nice to know that parts are relatively easy to come by. But the fact that they sell replacement alert flags for your mailboxes? Having grew up in a household where mail was delivered through a slot, mailboxes were something that I only seen on television and movies, usually on shows where tacky mailboxes are targets of vandalism. These would involve scenes where you got some guy standing in the back of a pickup truck with a baseball bat.

With that in mind, why is the replacement of an alert such a big deal? If the entire mailbox is toast, wouldn't you get a new one anyway? If someone were to go to all the trouble, why steal just the flag?

200 BUTTERFLY Wedding Silk Rose Flower Petals-Brown

I'm running on empty here, and still no interesting things to write about on eBay. But, yet again, I've found another example that very much illustrates how overinflated shipping prices are on eBay. This eBay seller is selling silk wedding flowers for the low price of 1 cent. However, shipping is $6.95.

If the seller is willing to take a loss on the item by selling it ridiculously below cost, you know that they're definitely making it up for it on shipping. Shipping a small package like this should not cost more than a couple of bucks.

ZENITH CL015 TV REMOTE CONTROL WITH CLOSED CAPTIONING

Here again, I'm playing grammar cop when I don't find anything weird or interesting on eBay. But, what is interesting to note is that the seller of this particular item claims to have "closed captioning." This would seem to imply that there is some sort of display on the actual remote that would allow you to read the closed captions on a television program, or it would magically grant your TV the actual function.

While I do realize that they need to sell their stuff, and when the entire TV goes toast, chances are that they want to salvage as much as they can to recoup their losses, which probably explains why the TV remote is still there but there isn't a TV.

Note that this isn't actually a universal remote, as it only has enough functionality for one device, namely the television itself. You are probably better off with a universal remote, unless you have the very specific TV that this remote came with. And of course, as Murphy's Law dictates, the second you get the remote shipped to you, you will find it within the sofa cushions.

Work From Home Learn How to SELL BABY CLOTHES Ebay Info

Because yes, last I checked, baby clothes was really a growth industry.

Considering how fast babies tend to grow, it may not be in anyone's best interest to get clothing for children on eBay, unless they are trying to plan ahead and anticipate how big their kids will be by the time that the clothing arrives. But, this person wants to sell their secrets as to how one can be successful at selling baby clothes.

But, on the plus side, it very much appears to be SORTA legitimate, but really, how hard is it to just do the damn research? Like, really?

Bulletproof backpack

Maybe this is something that a bag manufacturer like Ogio can get behind, but pretty cool nonetheless. Or pretty scary. You know that something is really messed up in our society when there exists a market for an item like this.

It's a backpack with a built-in ballistics panel, so it's designed to protect the user, although the seller admits that it might not be the best form of protection for school/random violence.

Considering that kids carry huge books in their backpacks, there's a good chance that a few textbooks will be sufficient to stop a bullet, so it's a bit of a redundant feature. The seller goes onto describe the way it could be used, although the target product user will not necessarily be thinking of this if a classmate decides that he/she can't take it anymore.

Nice idea, but are we trying to protect our kids or just make them paranoid?

TERM LIFE INSURANCE -NO MEDICAL OR AGENT- FREE QUOTES

Hey, it looks like you CAN buy anything on eBay.

Looking for term life insurance quotes? Look no further. However, the auction in question doesn't seem to be an actual auction, as the seller doesn't actually appear to be using eBay to sell a tangible product or service. As it stands, it says "free quotes."

I guess it's much cheaper than web hosting, if you're using eBay to broadcast a different service that isn't for sale through eBay, although I can't shake the feeling that this too violates eBay's terms and conditions.

Make Money Kevin Spacey Free Movie Click Here!!

The keywords "click here" will yield a lot of different searches on eBay, ranging from art to cheap sunglasses. And then there was this one.

I don't really know what to make of it at all. It doesn't appear to be selling a particular product, only giving a link where it shows you the trailer to Pay it Forward, and then tries to sell you on a program of some sort that promises to generate income. Like, a lot.

I really don't know if this auction violates the eBay Terms of Service agreement, although it probably does. It's not selling an actual product and is mostly a launch pad for a get rich quick scheme. But I think you already knew it was a scam the second you looked at it...

But hey, we can almost turn our computers into ATMs. Sign me up!

Home Theater Chairs Movie Theater Seating Cinema Film

Discount home theater seating is something in high demand, but one look at this guy's auction and it looks like he took it one step further.

Compared to all of the other items you see when you look for home theater seating, they usually show stuff that would not look out of place within a posh home with a large plasma screen TV. But these very much appear to have been forcibly removed from an actual movie cinema, or at least salvaged from where a movie theater closed down. They even still have the bottom sections where you're supposed to bolt them to the floor.

The only thing the items are missing are wads of chewing gum stuck to the bottom.

NEW5" SPECIAL MEMORY FOAM 5.3lb MEDITATION YOGA CUSHION

With space age technology and poor categorization, the same material in a memory foam mattress can now be used as a meditation cushion.

I guess when an eBay seller wants to promote their product, they're going to want to make sure that it has as much cross market appeal as possible. So, they start marketing to the religious crowd. Yes, this product is categorized under "Everything Else" and "Religious Products and Supplies."

The interesting thing is that yoga in the Western world isn't all that religious. As it stands, yoga mats are actually quite thin. Come to think of it, shouldn't the image show an imprint of somebody's butt?

CELL PHONE, PDA, BLUETOOTH, & BLACKBERRY WHOLESALE LIST

Whether you're looking for a Bluetooth headset or any other type of accessory for your cell phone, PDA, or Blackberry, you can easily find it on eBay. And if you're looking for wholesale lists which have artificially high monetary values, you can also find them on eBay.

This particularly enterprising eBayer is selling wholesaler lists of mobile communications accessories (PDA, Bluetooth, cellphones, etc.). Directly quoted from the auction:

"This information is not missing leading and is worth every penny. I have bought a wholesale list before on eBay and learned the hard way. They just fill it with basic garbage with links to thousands and thousands sites with non-wholesale prices and run with your money. Basically its delete and so is the user by eBay. Anyways, this information is so nice that I even use the sources from all my equipment!!"

Most will want to steer clear of these, even more so when you check the guy's artificially high feedback rating. Every single one of his positive feedbacks are for "private auctions," which is a bright red flag. That, and this guy's grammar frickin' sucks.
