I Bought The Weirdest Ebay Items For A Year

[Music] ah eBay the online auction site where you can buy other people's unwanted stuff but there's a dark side of eBay because for every super cool item someone's trying to sell someone else is selling something insane and not a little bit insane I'm talking full-on mental breakdown insane now over the last year I've stumbled across a lot of weirdness on the website and so I've bought some items and now I guess it's time to show you my h all from super expensive Cheetos to haunted paintings and God I can't believe I'm about to say this

Guardians of the spirit realm let's take a look at my eBay haul of of well I don't even know at this [Music] point Food Glorious Food eBay's food listings are something I simply can't f them if you're selling some assorted packaged snacks or drinks for a couple of dollars sure fine but if you're selling a McDonald's chicken nugget in the shape of an Among Us character for $750 are you okay I'd be lying if I said I didn't make an offer but sadly this listing got taken down or might have actually sold not too long

after I did scrolling further I found pistachio nutshells for $1,000 I added this to my save this Insanity for later list but when I went back to it it had sold so I went looking for even more weird shaped food oh that didn't take long okay this one is just ominously titled food and the description says it's an Illuminati shaped Asda Dorito interesting way of saying a tortilla chip with a hole in it and all for $630 man you really can sell anything for any price you want here huh even okay that's a flaming hot

Cheeto in the shape of Elvis Presley for 100 grand now I like Elvis but even I can't see much of a resemblance here but this on the other hand this is amazing a Cheeto shaped like the Madonna and child my God and all just for $1 42.782791 paper there it's uh significantly less orange than the pictures man how long has this thing been listed for I thought about having a nibble to be sure but before I did I spotted another Cheeto listing that hit me right in the Nostalgia it was shaped like jeffre the giraffe

the old Toys R Us mascot the resemblance was uncanny so yes while it was listed for $500 I offer 20 and got it and boy am I glad I didn't pay $500 for this that is that is practically beige the white spots are paler than my own skin okay well the description of this was very clear do not eat so I guess I'll display it nice really ties the room together big brandan all right so I wasn't successful in getting everything I wanted to buy case in point this this is a brand flake a giant

brand flake 7.3 cm x 8.6 cm to be precise which someone decided was so impressive that they should frame it then sell it for $27,000 considering a whole box of brand flakes cost about $260 this one Mega flake was being sold at 79,81 155 times that and the description was eclectic I discovered the elephantine edible on a crisp winter morning whil pouring bring out my least favorite breakfast cereal AKA torch of Flakes a little tilt of the box was all it took to awaken this mammoth from its Slumber scientists have not yet studied the monolithic

Munch but I am awaiting to be contacted about this as I am certain it holds much significance I mean clearly I was dealing with a man of culture so I wrote back in kind you can pause and read the entire thing here if you like but in short I said good sir what a splendid bre andand you have please consider $60 an acceptable sum for the transfer of custody of This Magnificent specimen and then I added a little brandl graphic with sunglasses and a thumbs up to seal the deal iconic sadly no deal was sealed

and I was left on red but I didn't give up that easily major Magics now not everything you can buy on eBay is real which sounds even more crazy when you say it out loud and yet this is the point where I just you can buy spells yep genuine magic spells according to the description performed by an experienced practitioner of white magic apparently this magic Works a bit like a prayer but cost five whole bucks so obviously I had to try it out after purchasing my witch got in touch to ask what I wanted and

I had to think long and hard that I won't love Vitality Eternal youth nah I wanted that Big Brand flake so I asked the to cast their magic and influence the seller of the Big Brand to accept my offer of $60 to proed to me that magic was real now I feel like the most rational person would stall here and at least ask if I had suffered from some sort of head injury or maybe a stroke but this which didn't bad an eye she replied and I kid you not I fully understand how the existence

of the giant brand flake has led to your true understanding of magic and indeed the magical nature of the universe what a blessing it is my intention that my spell will enable you to take possession of the mystical cereal flake and to proove they' cast the spell they sent me this picture oh baby we got a candle some crystals some sort of Egyptian statuette a fake candle with Christian iconography on it yeah pure insanity this is $5 well spent well a few weeks passed and I heard nothing from the Big Brand seller then a few

more weeks still nothing then on January 7th 202 4 I Got a notification the giant brand flake had sold but not to me to someone else for $38 I offered 60 what gifts so not only did my dope little brand icon fail to win over the seller magic is also dead to me now old hauns as weird as food in Magic eBay may be it's got nothing on haunted eBay there are thousands of listings that claim to be selling cursed and possessed items they're mainly creepy dolls or gothic trinkets but some stand out like smos

here apparently this little snowman plush is a guardian of the spirit world its description states he likes to find his way around by gliding through floors walls doors and ceilings and that you'll notice the air changing colder when he's about to appear to you you know what $30 feels remarkably cheap for an authentic Spirit Guardian let's put smoss to the test just as I hit by another haunted item was suggested to me another haunted box with paranormal positive energy not paranormal paranormal having no idea what that was I took a look at the description which

read the emotion that comes from this box is insane and I felt some things in my time Oho boy a pay normal box Haunted with emotion I figured maybe it help my cold dead heart something so I made an offer of 60 bucks and got it having spent $90 on haunted items was I done there absolutely not a further look revealed this haunted not porcelain doll but picture vessel I love that the seller showing a picture of a picture had to in fact clarify it was a picture and not a doll and no one thought

it was it also came with a weird story about a young girl who apparently bought the picture with her allowance who wasn't happy with how she looked genuinely it reads she thought she was ugly and thought she looked manly apparently she had no self-esteem and she liked reading until she became really unwell and slept a lot I honestly have no idea what this is going on about but for five bucks I decided to buy the picture that was supposedly haunted by a depressed kid who just needed a nap and with that I spent close to

$100 on haunted items man I can't believe I spent that much so let's see what I actually got starting with an old slightly beat up wooden box promising emotions can't Sam feeling anything maybe a little sad because I spent 50 bucks on this let's open it up and W smos oh my God how did he get in here did he move through the box just like the listing said he would no when everything arrived I put him in here and just completely forgot well he is a cute blush toy can't say I'm feeling any colder

though though maybe if I tuck him in and make him feel more at home he'll start warming up or technically cooling down to me while he's getting comfy let's look at that final item okay assuming there was anything real in that description what child would buy this how bad do your hilariously fake sounding self-esteem issues have to be to purchase this and then apparently haunted until the end of time uh never mind wait did these three curse me to lose the brand auction damn you box of emotion sad child and smos kind of hard to

stay mad at smoss though he's just too cute best Pokemon cards ever Pokemon cards are big business and eBay sellers often auction off rare and even custom cards to the highest bidder but as I was scrolling through them one day uh I'm going to say unique listing caught my eye it was apparently a set of Pokémon cards in custom packaging the word custom is doing a lot of heavy lifting there with these images showing a hilariously rough glitter paper sleeve with handdrawn Pokeballs on them which looked more like someone had a breakdown in a Hobby

Lobby it was filled with well not Pokemon cards that's for sure although the description set otherwise and emphatically called them the best Pokémon set ever you'd expect someone with conviction in that statement to be selling these for like $600 but for $6 you know I had to see what this person had made sadly almost as soon as I bought them I was refunded the reason apparently they were damaged the cards not the seller although I guess they must have been emotionally damaged to list these in the first place ultimate taxidermy taxidermy is a pretty creepy

form of preservation where animal skins are stuffed and posed to look like they're still alive some pose them naturally but on eBay I found a seller posing them super naturally yeah you're looking at the single greatest item title I've ever seen taxad Derby witch mole it's a Taxidermy mole with a little witch hat cape and even a tiny broom I wanted to know more but the description just read Taxidermy witch Mo I mean say no more I need it only problem this was an auction piece and I was up against another bidder with just 13

minutes left the bids on this moly were up to $30 I knew I should stop but I got it and let me tell you it's perfect a little under 10 in tall the broom head and cape on this fuzzy little oblong with these hilarious little petal hands oh can you imagine actually flying on that broom how would it even hold it little alone right it it doesn't matter because as weird as it is I love it I might even make it the new mascot hey barthol you Eggbert say hello to your new buddy Tex aery

witch MO oh hey where you going come back shock horror electroshock therapy or ECT is one of those old Medical Treatments that's got a pretty barbaric reputation it's often depicted in films and TV as a kind of punishment but in the real world it involves passing an electrical current through a patient's head to stimulate their brain it's still used today though it requires a lot of precise placement and medical knoow which is why this eBay list terrifies me a Victorian electrotherapy shock machine medical antique this doesn't feel like the sort of thing you should be

able to buy without some serious checks in place a look at the description reveals the seller thinks it's from sometime in the 1800s which makes sense as this was around that time that electrotherapy devices were becoming popular so either this thing is going to be too old to work or I'm going to give myself some brain injuries and all just for 30 bucks let's do this okay so when this arrived I was surprised at how heavy it was considering it was only about 12 in tall and boy was it Dusty I'm tempted to believe it

was from the 1800s purely from the amount of dust let's open it up then I don't know why I expected all the what were they described as attachments would come with some sort of guide you know considering this device is designed to deliver an electric shock to your body but I suppose that's a more modern expectation I got everything out and tried my best to figure out what each thing did and I attached wires from these handle things to the box I threaded this thing through here yeah I'm clearly lost which let's be honest is

probably a good thing otherwise oh no it's just kidding I'm fine I'll be $30 poor definitely not cursed photo album I'm a pretty sentimental guy so I keep a lot of photo albums from back in the day they mean a lot to me but I don't imagine they have much value to anybody else which is where I might be wrong all over eBay people are selling vintage portrait and photo books with some dating back to the 1800s I assume people wouldn't really want old photos of people in places that they have no contacts for but

I'm wrong cuz some of these are going for as much as $100 I wanted to figure out what all the hype was about so I bought one for $50 it came in this thick old leather binder with a cracked spine so I was pretty hyped to see all the history inside oh wow black and white landscape photos that's kind of cool wait hang on these pictures were apparently taken in 1954 yet their lack of image fading or any signs of wear and tear makes them seem like they were printed very recently oh my God was

I sold a book of fake old photos yep another Flickr shows reprints of old landscape pictures hastily glued into the pages in varying degrees of quality what a weird thing to fake I feel robbed world's saddest cookbook the 1980s was a weird time mainly because the rise of microwave cooking LED Publishers to release the saddest book ever made according to this vintage listing on eBay microwave cooking for one 96 pages of what I assumed to be pure depression for $5 I was happy to find out what authentic loneliness tasted like okay well it arrived in

good condition the look at the bag reveals a picture of a cocktail which as far as I'm aware is not something you cook nor something you microwave so we're off to a great start let's have a flick through okay honestly I don't know what I was expecting most of these so-called recipes are just buy the thing put in microwave don't appetite okay maybe I'm being too judgmental let's try a recipe here we go baked potato take potato Pierce several times put in microwave set timer between 4 and 6 minutes then remove potato from micro what

the how the hell did that get in there and where's my potato I guess this is what you get when you buy an insult a bunch of haunted objects great dreadlocks did you know you can give your hair to charity yeah like this incredible kid who had her hair cut off and then donated it to a charity who washes and processes it before making it into wigs for sick kids that's pretty inspiring you know what's less inspiring selling your own hair on eBay yeah I really didn't want this listing to be real because for one

it was a handful of dreadlocks that were described as used and two well they were $107 but hey this was one of the weirder things things I'd found this year so I bought them and a pair of gloves I'm not an idiot they arrived and oh nothing quite says used like coming in a secondhand plastic bag let's open them up okay can't lie these are much bigger than I thought they were in the listing guess I got my $107 worth of dread in more ways than one they were clean I think there was a lot

of Grace bags which now that I think about it may have been dry skin and D have caught in the hairs okay that's enough back in the bag and into the trash with you crunchy candy all right time for a b amazed first I'm finally venturing into the world of autonomous sensory Meridian response videos also known as ASMR why because back in October when I was looking for Halloween candy I got suggested a link to some freeze-dried skittles from an eBay seller if you don't know the process of freeze drying involves freezing a food and

then lowering the pressure which essentially dehydrates the food without cooking it of course water expands when it's frozen which means that when you freeze dry food like Skittles for example they look weird and for $6 this seems like the perfect food stuff to eat sensually into the microphone like all the YouTube ASMR Pros do okay mik gain up whisper activated let's open these up okay they don't smell all that different which makes sense as they're just dehydrated they feel hard but weirdly like so let's try [Music] one the crunch I can't tell whether I like

it or despise it ah I don't think me or my mic are cut out for ASMR anyway I tried a few more and I got to say these really stick to your teeth more so than hydrated Skittles I think but I do like them huh I might need to buy another packet of these your own personal demon most of us work to get rid of our demons but over on eBay you can buy them apparently sold ominously has a mummified demon fetus this is well just that the description just said one- OFA kind demon fetus

in a little wooden box so I have questions first this can't be real surely and second who goes around buying demon fetuses well me I guess but that's besides the point look for a $60 I just had to see what this really was so when it arrived I have to say I didn't realize what it was at first the little wooden box had some twine around it along with a little heart charm opening the lid revealed some pink tissue paper which I thought was quite cute until I saw the horror hidden within yeah this this

ain't right but it also ain't real the resin on the outside made me think this so-called demon was probably a craft project but how could I be sure simple smashed it open unless demons are typically made of clay then I'd say this is a fake if it's not well I'm sure smos can protect me from whatever wrath I've just invoked big chongus if you're as terminally online as I am you probably know the big chungus meme it's a chunky version of Bugs Bunny titled big chungus which is just a meme that makes me laugh at

least I thought it was a meme because it turns out you can buy the big chungus PS4 game on eBay look it made me laugh and for $23 I just wanted to see what this really was I assumed it would be a poor quality craft project like the Pokémon cards but when it arrived I was incredibly surprised at a glance this thing looks like it could have in a real game whoever made it edited big chungus into the screenshots of other games for the back cover and gave it a full blurb ha it's even rated

M for big chungus there was sadly no actual game inside because big chungus was only ever a meme but in terms of quality this is probably the best joke item I've ever bought and I bought a lot of things from wish.com Mystery Box they say curiosity killed the cat but they may soon say curiosity killed be amazed because I came across this listing a mystery box filled with 10 plus mystery items there's something about a batter box with a fragile tape that just screams danger to me could be knives live mice a head who knows

so for $26 I decided to quench my curiosity when it arrived it helpfully had Mystery Box written on top I could only imagine my delivery man was as curious as I was let's open it up what have we here okay okay a DVD and iPad keyboard more sealed DVDs and CDs more DVDs tape headphones and ooh a Warhammer magazine and finally a screen protector and a book okay so not ahead man I've been watching too many old movies luckily I now have all these new movies to help with that strange Shufflin playing cards come in

a lot of different designs some like these inspired by the TV Show Breaking Bad or these from an investment company okay a little odd but none absolutely none even come close to the set I found on eBay these are and I can't quite believe I'm saying this the official US defense intelligence agency's 2003 Most Wanted members of President Saddam Hussein's government playing cards apparently these were issued to Battlefield troops during the Iraq War back in 2003 however this eBay seller says they make a great gift for your friends and family okay well I don't know

if my friends and family would appreciate a playable hit list from over 20 years ago but let's grab a pack just to double check that this is real well they arrived however it was so old that when I tried to open it the glue failed and the box came apart in my hands no matter let's take a look at some of these you know there's something about having faceless cards in this deck that feels like it defeats the purpose of them I thought this was a joke so I did some research and yes these were

an actual thing the US government commissioned for release with more than 1 and2 million sold well it's time to do a Saddam Shuffle that's a really good joke if you're familiar with early 2000's American terminology around the Iraq invasion okay this sounds like the most controversial item I bought but trust me I've saved the best or technically the worst for last organic Goods so while a lot of the stuff I've bought is pretty silly there was one listing I came across that stopped me dead in my track it was for bones human bones apparently from

old Victorian anatomical studies Now eBay has some very very strict rules in place explaining it does not under any circumstances allow the sale of human body parts excluding hair obviously so I did not think for a minute this was real I mean it was listed multiple times as genuine human bones eBay wouldn't have allowed an item with that title to be listed in the first place if they were real surely so curious I bought one for $45 now initially I thought this was a complete scam because I didn't receive anything for weeks but then the

seller messaged me to say his wife had sent the package and had accidentally declared there were real human remains in there so it got sent back to them whatever I was fairly certain it was just some super weird scam and thought nothing more of it then a tiny little package arrived so I opened it and okay at first I thought it was a weird rock but then looking at the shape and the texture I think this is a vertebrae I mean I've not really looked at a real human vertebrae before but this this looks pretty

old and pretty real it's also got little holes in it where I think it was once strung up as part of an anatomical skeleton model if that seller's description is anything to go by so I've gone from thinking I was scamm to being super weirded out thanks eBay great safeguarding there which of these crazy eBay finds did you think was the weirdest and do you want to see me risking my life buying more unpredictable items that may or may not be haunted let me know down in the comments below and thanks for watching [Music]
