Weird Wednesday - October 19, 2005
October 20th, 2005 by Laurie BarakJust when you thought it was safe to read the PowerSellers Blog again its…
Where I find some freaky auctions on eBay and share them with y’all.
No theme this week, just a bunch of random goofiness again!
The Seller writes this story: “I had gone grocery shopping just the other day and had to get my pregnancy midnight craving snack - pickles. As my nightly snack routine called me out of bed and to the fridge, to my surprise I see two little faces peering at me. I had to rub my eyes to make sure I was seeing straight and I was. The next morning I showed my little boy and my husband. My son said, “They look just like little ghosts” and I said “That’s what I thought, too!” My husband just laughed.”
I’m not sure what’s weirder…the pickles or the pregnant lady…hee hee, just kidding!

When I was a teenager I had a perfume bottle shaped like a unicorn. These are a bit more on the odd side, especially the snail. Cute for the perfume bottle collector.
Snail and mouse perfume bottles.
This is a great novelty gift or a gift for a tie collector. I used to work with a guy who had over 100 crazy ties like this one. I think this one would definitely bring a smile to someone’s face.
Silly faces tie.
If you know someone who’s still driving their ‘73 Nova and just can’t give up their 8-track, here’s a great gift - the dashboard disco ball. “As your car goes around turns the ball moves on its little springy base starting about a 30 second psychedelic light display,” writes the Seller. And who says disco is dead?!?
Get down, get funky!
Before we all go calling PETA, it really is OK the Australians hunt kangaroos - they are hunted under government regulations to control their numbers so the animals don’t starve. Probably not much different than hunting deer here in the US. So you’ve got a lovely trophy on your wall, here’s one that’ll do more than look good to your friends. The paw is a backscratcher attached to a wooden pole. Not something I’d want personally, but it might be a unique gift for the hunter/backscratcher collector.
Kangaroo paw backscratcher. My personal opinion? Yuck.
And that’s your Weird Wednesday for October 19, 2005. Stay tuned for the WEIRD WEDNESDAY HALLOWEEN SPECTACTULAR!!!!!!!!!!
