Odd-Ball Auction Items

There have been various discussions about "unusual" auction items, as
a way to attract buyers. We all know about the cheese sandwich on
eBay, the traveling T-shirt and others. One lesser known that I came
across on eBay was opened bottles of Chanel #5! Buyers are actually
buying them!

I think the idea is a good one! Every seller should have one "nutty"
listing on each of their auction sites. So I have listed my late
Mother-in-Law's open bottle of Chanel #5 on Yahoo. I have 3 or 4
other Yahoo listings--but this bottle has garnered 10 times more hits
than the others. Go figure!
