THe little post about Froggy got the wheels turning.
What's the stupidist thing you ever saw on e-bay?
For me it was this guy trying to sell a red stone he claimed had "mystical celtic powers" or something! xD

Well, the video signed by Froggy is one of the dumbest things I've seen, but there was once somebody selling a little vial of dirt from Alfalfa's grave. Just how are we supposed to verify something like that?

Someone was selling air that was supposedly breathed by Jesus. They listed some mathematical theory as to the odds that a molecule of air in the vial had been breathed by Jesus.

Okay, I can't top that one, but here's another Our Gang example that I just saw today: It's an 'autographed' photo of a 4-year-old Wally Albright. The main problem is that it isn't really autographed. It looks entirely like one of those fan photos where the name is printed by hand on the negative. And in this case, I can't believe for a moment that a 4-year-old could ever print so clearly. Is it just me, or does the 'buy it now' price of $400 seem a little high?

Look at the Wally auction again. The writing on the left is pre-printed, in white. However, if you look on the right side, you can see what looks like "Wally" scrawled by a 4-yr old.

I'm not able to read that part at all. I guess it could be Wally's signature, but it still looks preprinted. In any event, for 400 bucks, I think the seller should give us a closeup of that part of the photo. Unless, of course, they're referring to the other 'signature.'

Okay, I just asked the seller, and he said that it is indeed the scrawl in the right-hand corner. My bad.

dumbest thing I saw was a gal who was selling the empty bag of popcorn so you can guess how many un-popped kernels were left. The bag also came with a "valuable" free gift

That gave me a big laugh. See, Spanky was such a genious that he created Our gang before he was born.  |
