Las Vegas Review-Journal writes about how “a showgirl-turned-bartender sees Jesus on her toilet seat, so she puts it on eBay”. They claim it to be the weirdest story they came across in the year 2009.(This is possibly the weirdest Ebay Auction story ever.:))

Similarly, DesmoinesRegister recounts a heart-warming story of “Jeff Lenhart of McGregor who sold Iowa snow on eBay to raise hundreds of dollars in donations for cancer research. His ad described the snow as being in "excellent" condition and from the Dec. 8 snowstorm. The winning bidder was also promised a certificate of authenticity and a picture of a snowman Jeff built outside his apartment building. The bidder? A fellow Iowan who certainly had more than enough snow already, but wanted to help a good cause”.(This sounds like a Reader Digest feature on Ebay Sellers.)
