Why you should invest in eBay

Its selling point is that you can find almost anything for sale on it. The more stories like this that come out, the less it has to pay to advertise that fact.

Here are just some of the other items that have been yanked off eBay and subsequently turned into free advertising to promote the fact it's the world's premier marketplace:

A bloody piece of gauze used by a Gonzaga basketball player

Angelina Jolie's sonogram


Space on a 20-year-old co-ed's abdomen for a tattoo (picture at right, in the interest of journalism)

A human kidney

The helmet Robbie Gordon threw at Michael Waltrip after an accident at a New Hampshire speedway in September

Britney Spears' jewel-encrusted bra

A communion wafer consecrated by John Paul II

The mobile phone number 867-5309

Tamiflu
