Trying to save money is one thing... but this...

[Kacey]

My school district has an intranet, which includes a "for sale" area. Someone actually posted this:

[SIZE=+1]Oral B Indicator toothbrush, used only once. The bristles are too hard and make my gums bleed. I bought it new last week at King Soopers for $2.95. I will let it go for $1.75 or best offer.

Please email any offers

He actually included a picture of the opened toothbrush on the side of the sink. Now... I wouldn't want a used toothbrush to begin with - and I certainly wouldn't want one someone had bled on.

Has anyone else seen any other outrageous items for sale? Or am I missing something? Would someone actually buy this toothbrush?

That is definitely a first, although I have heard about items that used to belong to celeb's being for sale.... Wouldn't surprise me if a strange one shows up on occasion at auctions.

Virginity. One's Immortal Soul. Your Immortal Soul. You'll notice that eBay is the common denominator here.

Well is there a market for used tooth brushes?

Now that is a sales pitch for a tooth brush if I ever saw one

I wouldn't even want a toothbruch used by a celebrity.

If the people in your district are anything like the people who came to our last garage sale, someone will buy the toothbrush and ask you to throw in the used tube of toothpaste.

I gave my virginity away a long time ago, and as to my importal soul, I'm sorry to say that too was also given away years ago....for cookies. I think they were oatmeal. Maybe I can get a new soul off Ebay...might make me happier, though it would limit my management options.


I've seen things like used tp, dirty undies (popular in vending machines in Japan I hear), socks, and a bag of dead cats once. People will try n sell anything.

Now I know what to do with all the crap in my teenage boy's room ... and my younger son's booger wall.

Well, I'd buy one.... to clean the mud off my vertical cave gear.
