Weirdest thing bought on Ebay...
 

During the buying feedback days (post ebooks) i used to buy random stuff that i didnt need sometimes, once it was cheap. One day i was looking through my mail and opened a package and there were like 5 pregnancy tests. I thought wth...looked at the address and checked my emails and realized that i did infact buy pregnancy tests lol. I really didnt remember buying it! Imagine if i was younger and my mom came across that. Try explaining that, "mom, seriously i only bought it for the feedback!" lol...

The weirdest thing I bought was a box of OLD computer parts.

I thought great, it was only 20 bucks I think, and it had tons of parts in the picture, some I'm pretty sure where worth much more and weren't that old.

Wrong! When I got the box and opened it I'm looking at some 1980's parts, to some old apple ones, or whatever the first computer was.

It was just a random box of old computer parts, worthless stuff!

Well I resold it with a slight profit a few days later. Not so much weird but disappointing. :)

You see those parts in this computer? I had a big box full of them.

What the heck am I going to do with that? Lol..

That was once considered "HIGH TECH" ...how times have changed...

I'm glad I was too young to remember those times. :p

Haha, same here....its crazy looking at that stuff tough, its all very interesting to me because I have actually used stuff like that at one point. I don't remember much of it though because I was like 5 or 6 when I used it.

I love vintage computers :)

I kinda wish I was I was around before the internet age so id have a chance to do something productive with my time (learn to program?) instead of wasting every minute with this internet stuff :P

cassettes! wow.. i havent even seen cassettes in ages

Floppy drives.

I'm just waiting to see when they stop making VCR's and tapes all together...its gotta be coming up in the next couple years I think.
