Weirdest thing bought on Ebay...

[divine422]

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..

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

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 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
