Not bike related, but here's
one of the more absurd items auctioned on Ebay. The person behind it is L.A. based comedian/writer, Joe Wilson, who I happen to know through work. The bidding offers kept going up and up, then Ebay took it down, claiming it to be a fraud. To this day, Joe still doesn't know at what point in the bidding the prices were invalid. He did end up selling it to a collector in Denver for $300.
Here's one of many
articles written about it at the time.
