But thats just the beginning. Perhaps the most interestingand bewilderingaspects of eBay are the wacky things bought and sold. Some of the bizarre items include a single corn flake that made one man a dollar richer, a woman who received a cool $10,000 after offering to tattoo an advertisement onto her forehead (the Golden Palace template on her forehead makes her easy to spot in public), a trash can filled with garbage (it was bought by a school teacher; her students wrote essays about the contents of it), a grilled cheese sandwich that was said to resemble the virgin Mary (selling for $28,000).

The one thing that helped these sellers sell their items was in the presentation. A 16 oz. porterhouse on a bed of rice pilaf sounds appetizingbut not if its presented on top of a garbage can lid. The same rule applies to eBay auctioneers: the better they present their product with appropriate wording and phrasing, the more alluring and tempting it is for buyers.

And if people can sell their garbage on eBay (literally), imagine what you can sell!
