Weird, Wild & Wacky
We spend a lot of our posts on this site throwing up auctions that are just plain weird. Which is fine. That’s pretty much the first thing people think of when they hear the word “absurd”: something that’s totally ridiculous. But today, I want to stretch that definition. Why? Because, as I have pointed out…
Ordinarily I try to keep my posts apolitical, but as buenaventura800 and his auctions for political pins and buttons know, there’s nothing more absurd than American politics in 2010. You want to talk about absurd; I once watched that man somehow turn his inability to assemble a child’s sippy cup to rationalize his claim that…
Last week, Josh posted this two headed rat from great_american_circus_sideshows. Well it’s back up already, this time in standard auction form. Alas, as of this writing Josh is nowhere to be found, and this is ending Saturday, so I took the liberty of posting the new auction: But that’s not what I was intending to…
It’s 1am and my girlfriend is torturing me by watching one of those bs paranormal shows on On Demand, and it’s only natural that this unnatural presence infiltrates my eBay searching, leading me to beautifulkatz’s series of auctions for haunted baby dolls, from an old woman’s haunted baby doll collection… Being a doll collector and…
Poor Albino Santa Claus. Every one thinks he’s out to get them. It’s not his fault his condition makes him look like a minion of a vampire, or that once upon a time some jerk misspelled his name and got everyone all fired up about Satan Claws. Even his seller, flipper1960, calls him creepy. True,…
Seller lunableuauctions auctions are an odd mix of old stuff and clothing labeled as being from Hot Topic and Ralph Lauren. Much like going to an actual thrift or vintage store, there’s an awful lot of crap to sort through, but it’s worth it when you find gems like this buried in the rubble: Possibly…
Seller kris-10thefirst brings us this vintage cast iron boot puller… As you can see, this lady is very chesty. Making her a Chesty Puller. General Lewis “Chesty” Puller does not approve. And so I apologize.
This auction from sirbidsalot that I stumbled upon while trying to find an old copy of the Richard Stark book Butcher’s Moon isn’t so much absurd as it is just really cool looking… 7 hours left. I totally wish that price was lower, I’d definitely bid. edit: annnnnd then I find this: Even sweeter. Also…
I really wish ilostmymind hadn’t included pictures from inside this awesomely titled coloring book… Sadly, despite what the title makes you think, you will not need to stock up on red crayons for this one. Judging from the interior pages shown in the auction, the KGB in KGB Chicken is part of a radio station’s…
Looking into getting started on the stalking of that special someone who has been speaking to you through the television via subtle blinking? Still stuck out in Podunksville Nebraska with no way of getting to one of the big cities where their rubbish cans await your rummaging? Don’t have the funds to buy up every…
