I had to do it. If someone is willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a burned sandwich, I may be able to reel in a fish or two myself.
I was debating selling the name of my next child. Or shaving the winner's initials in my back hair.

Hope nobody notices the not-so-subtle religious disrepect inherent in the name "eyeamgawd".   :D

Or, maybe that's a good thing.  . . perhaps they will think that gawd himself is selling his prayers.

That's gotta be worth a buck.

That is some funny sh*t.  The sad part is I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you actually got some bids. Maybe you'll make it on CNN.

No way my ugly face is going on TV. Someone will match it up with a Wanted poster, I'm sure.
Next auction will be a rock that is 4 billion years old. I know I have a few in my backyard.
And we Americans wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us..........

The sale of an air guitar brought a few laughs from us.
There was even a picture of the bloke holding it
He said it had been used at many gigs and rattled off a list of bands.

[Air guitar is when you're pretending to hold a guitar and play along, but in fact are holding absolutely nothing]

No bids, but lots of hits on your listing.  Maybe there will be a huge rush at the end of by all of those "I need prayers" snipers.  :D

This guy is taking advertising to a whole new level:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& ... RK:MEWA:IT

Check out his other auctions where he actually has bids...
