More Weird Auction Fun

It's time for the first 2007 edition of weird auction fun. There's no particular theme to today's list of odd eBay auctions—they're just odd, and together, they're very odd. We'll start with the most magic 8-ball ever, or rather, with questions that you get to ask it—if you're willing to pay. Apparently this 8-ball is quite accurate in its forecasting (if the seller is, ahem, to be believed) and thus paying to ask it a question is quite a privelege.

While on the subject of fortune-telling, this superbowl-predictive slice of toast claims to have determined what the outcome of the upcoming Super Bowl will be. Given how accurate sports writers in general tend to be about their predictions, you couldn't go much more wrong betting according to toast.

If you're looking for something a little more upmarket and have tens of thousands to spend, maybe this lot of 10 dumpsters will interest you. They're last year's model, so they're apparently a steal.

There's something for the kids, too—but be sure that you get a helmet and some pads before trying to jump up and down on this gas powered pogo stick. No, really, it's a pogo stick... with an engine.

Finally, if all of this is a bit much for you and you'd rather just sit back with a snack and relax, consider snacking on a box lot of 200 American flag chocolate bars. They're supposedly very patriotic.

That's it for this round of weird auction fun. Happy bidding!
