Some people will sell anything

Wonder if I could sell my toenail clippings on EBay?

I heard that e-bay didn't allow the sale of the corn flake because it was a violation of policy --- no food sales on E-bay.

 

So, even though the individual's auction did get up there, the sale was not allowed. So don't try the Cherios idea. :-)

I don't know about the corn flake but I do know that various other prohibited items are allowed if their collector value exceeds their value as "whatever." For example, if you have a bottle of 1881 vintage wine bottled by George Washington, that is far more valuable as a collectable than as a drinkable.

 

So they might allow the cornflake because no one would pay even $1 to get a cornflake to munch on. Unless they are in Vegas.

Just in case anyone was wondering, the tickets did not sell.

 

Yes I am bored and at the computer

Guess I can't sell my toenail clippings, then.

Leno had the Illinois corn flake ad on his show tonight for "what sold on ebay" It sold.

 

It is amazing how many Illinois shaped cornflakes are on ebay.

 

Another that Leno highlighted
