Your Strangest Thing

[7rider]

I never bought or sold anything on E-Bay.

How about the strangest thing sold on Craigslist/Ebay?

I sold a 100 amp breaker box once on CL. DH was amazed that anyone would want it. And an old toaster oven that worked fine, but had a broken handle.

I gave away a few things, too: a light post, a broken CD player (kept skipping), a busted shop vac, a busted washing machine. People like to fix up the strangest things. But at least they stayed (temporarily) out of the landfill.

My husband bought a mullet wig, does that count?

No? How about a Members Only jacket? (80's theme new years eve party!)

The oddest thing I've bought personally was lipstick. There was this color that I loved that had been discontinued. A girl was selling an unopened one, so I bought it. Kinda gross...I know. The things we'll do for beauty.

Oh, I also bought iced tea spoons to go with our flatware. Not really odd, but certainly random.

Years ago (close to ten years, I think) I bought a Colorforms ad from the 1960's that had been pulled out of a magazine. I think I also bought a Slinky ad from roughly the same era. I had them framed for display in my office. I then lost them when I moved to Seattle. *sigh*

I like somewhat 'eerie' antique dolls.
Here are two that I am currently selling:


I used to keep tarantulas but not anymore.

Did you get the tarantulas from EBay?

That would be strange.

Four oompa loompa wigs for our Willy Wonka themed prom in May. I have purchased a few gag gifts out of the weird and strange category, but I don't remember what they were.

A silver aluminum Christmas tree.

License Plates (I collect them)

Childcraft encyclopedias from the early 60's

a metal sign that says there are dangerous snakes in the area

...I could go on and on

I'm decluttering as the remodel winds down. Recently I Craigs'isted a box full of nails and a kick plate-the single strip of wood at the base of cabinet.

Also Craigs'd (is that a word?) a sewing machine table a neighbor threw out which was actually kinda nice. I could have re-finished that but just no room. The gal who picked up the table was very happy.

I was surprised that anyone would want nails but that went to a gal who's starting the remodel adventure.
