I am amazed at the stuff people put on eBay, but this story (dead link) talks about this guy, whose story is probably the most famous.
After putting everything he couldn’t fit in his car up for sale on eBay he actually wrote a book called All My Life for Sale
where he finds some of the people that bought his stuff. He calls it artistic. I call it a sad commentary on people caught up in the internet hype that is eBay. There are web sites all over that troll eBay for weird stuff. This has only fueled a desire for people to put weirder and weirder stuff there. I think the people that got caught up in this guy scheme were duped into buying his crap by thinking they were part of history. All they have done is shown how things on the internet quickly get out of hand.
