    Only On E-Bay

    I've been using E-Bay for a long time and thought I'd seen it all. Then I found this- a Kit Kat wrapper. Any bidders?

    Oh boy, there are some weird ones out there.

    Of course, when I first went on eBay I managed to sell a banged up door knocker with the name Frank engraved on it. When I had bought a house, that was the knocker and so it was replaced with one that matched my name.

    I do remember a TV feature on Ebay where a woman pointed out that she had successfully managed to sell a six pack of empty Diet Rite Cola bottles from the sixties for some respectable amount of money...

    ...there's someone out there somewhere....

    Somebody needs to buy that wrapper. A thousand years from now it'll be worth something.

    I read an article recently where a guy started with a red paper clip and is trying to trade it up to a house. Through a series of trades for bigger and bigger things, I believe it said he is now up to vehicle.

    Last I'd heard, he'd traded a year of paid housing for an afternoon with Alice Cooper.

    I wonder if the wrapper has been licked clean.

    Maybe it was from a Kit Kat which Elvis consumed, or at least it was found on a street near Graceland.
