Come Sail Away… His mother’s dying wish was for her ashes to be scattered at sea, so Glen Beaton did what any good son would do - he put her ashes up for sale on eBay. Turns out the online auction site was not appropriately touched by the sentiment.


I Wish I Knew How to Ship You At a selling price of over $100,000, the lucky winner of an auction for Jake Gyllenhaal’s Brokeback Mountain shirt might want to consider purchasing additional insurance.

PBR is Already Taken… But if you have any other great ideas for the name of an alcoholic beverage, you’d be interested to know that a struggling microbrewery is auctioning off the naming rights for its fermenter, a huge machine that chugs out over 60 barrels of beer per batch.

Benny and the Bids OK, sorry that was bad. But cheer up - you have until March 9th to get your paws on Elton John’s piano, currently up for auction on eBay. Read more about what his handlers call a “major piece of music history” and what Sir Elton simply calls “Fiona” here.

    Why is it stupid to donate $100,000 to a worthwhile children’s charity????

    wow, here is a crazy ebay auction or at least one of the strange ebay auctions i have seen!
    I was searching for alice cooper stuff on ebay and this guy is selling a set of alice cooper videos and tickets and stuff, and his auction has 666 in the title AND it was the 666th item to have 666 in the title when he or she listed it! thats crazy, so they put a screen capture of it into the auction.

    just thought i would share!
