Nikki Sixx Spitts

This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from an entrepreneurial Motley Crue fan (left) who claims her tank top is detailed with Nikki Sixx’s saliva. It all began at a Crue concert in 2005 while she was rocking out from the third row. After turning her head for only an instant Sixx launched his corn syrupy secretion with pin-point accuracy.
Despite the detailed account of the event, the story is still hard to swallow. With thousands of eye witnesses, nobody saw a thing, including the people beside her…or even her for that matter. We shouldn’t rule out the possibility of a second spitter, Keith Hernandez better have a rock solid alibi.
The best part is that she believes auction could raise enough money to purchase a Sleep Number bed. I wonder if you can set those things to 666? That’s the only way she’ll be able to sleep at night knowing she purchased it using the proceeds from sham spit.
The opening bid is under a dollar! View the full auction by clicking here.
Who Wears Vintage Short Shorts?

Thankfully, women never stopped wearing them. But recent bidding activity now suggests men aren’t afraid to show a little leg as well. The pair of men’s Adidas, pictured below, just sold for £55 (approx. $110 US). The shorts with sheen are regularly fetching big bucks especially if you compare the dollar to fabric ratio. Judging by the location of who’s offering them for sale and their winning bidders, the trend appears to be most popular in the UK. Are they back? I hope so. I’ve been waiting for this moment since Magnum P.I. went off the air.

Bid for a Rockstar Roommate

This week’s strange and unusual eBay auction comes from the lead singer (left) of a rock band titled, WAGSWAYZ. He has generously offered to come live in your home for one week if you bid at least $300. Interested? I was until I realized that he doesn’t do drugs and rarely drinks. What fun is that?
Also keep in mind you’re responsible for paying to have him flown in from Indiana. Damn, costs are staring to add up here and now I just really have my heart set on a creepy stranger living at my house. I’m thinking it might be cheaper to just pick up a hobo with a harmonica on the way home from work. Hold the phone… upon further review of the auction I realize he’s sweetened the deal! If he writes a song during his stay that ends up becoming a hit you’ll receive 40% of the royalties, and he already has radio play!

Kudos to vintage vendors Refreshmint for always providing some of the most eye-catching photos in the 20k+ results that eBay fetches for a “vintage shirt” search.
In this recent listing it appears as though Refreshment aren’t just selling a shirt, they’re selling a lifestyle. And not a boring, stay-home-to-knit-little-boots-for-your-cat-“Fluffy” lifestyle. More like, full-on, celebrity-circuit paparazzi-prone partying. Never before have I seen a auction photos taken in the middle of a club - it’s like eBay girls gone wild. Keep up the good work.
What you get: SUPER SOFT WORN TO PERFECTION DEEP V NECK T SHIRT
