Weirdest thing I've sold: An Autotaser:
"If the AUTO TASER’s ultra sensitive vibration detectors sense an intruder, a screeching 120 to 130 decibel alarm is sounded as a warning before aggressive countermeasures are initiated. Five seconds later, a field of electrons completely surrounds the unit. Any attempt to touch the AUTO TASER zaps the thief with an unforgettable, yet non-lethal 5,900 milliwatt (50,000 volt) electron pulse."

Bought it in Edmonton, and sold it after apprehension the sucker would go off at any time. Had a bidding war breakout for it and sold it to some German dude on vacation in the US for a 100% profit.

Bough and sold a mixture of things, including mostly hobby items but also some car related stuff. About 100 transactions in total, going back to 1998 I believe!

Bought a lot of stuff, over 200 items over the years. I find it very convenient and reliable. Hate shopping in stores.

I don't use it much...but I have bought a Troy Lee Designs motocross helmet for a buddy of mine and a shifter knob that has those buttons on it so you can change your cds from that thing on it...never sold anything though.

I buy quite a few things off ebay...

I have bought a Guitar Tuner Pedal,

A 1-spot adapter that will power all my pedals

A video baby monitor,

A duvet cover set

Some bandanas for my daughter (shes almost 1 and a half and has long hair thats always in her eyes but she takes out pony tails pretty much as soon as we put them in. Put a Bandana/Durag on her and she leaves it on all day... plus she looks badass!)

A fur lined hoody (Very warm, I wore it most of the winter)

Sold:
Nothing but I put my doubleneck guitar on ebay, but I ended up selling locally.

Too many things to list.
but I typically buy and sell goalie equipment for my kid.
I think of it as renting, cause the damn kid keeps growing to fast.
but I bought my Les Paul Voodoo on ebay, motorcycle access.
sold many a thing as well.
ebay is a wonderful place.

I banned myself from ebay after buying too much stuff on there.

My best purchase was a duck phone that quacks instead of ringing...just like they had on "Silver Spoons"

Can't beat that.

never sold anything on ebay, though i do have some extra "Flames STH unframed Lithographs" that I thought about putting up before, just ended up procrastinating...(well i guess im still procrastinating on it)

havent bought anything off ebay in an eternity either, probably around 2 or 3 years since my last transaction
Ive bought mainly Cd's before, a couple of PS2 video games, and some promo posters
I do find that Im checking ebay ona more regular basis lately than i had in the previous years, just not finding anything all that interesting to bid on yet

I have purchased a few things before from auction.nhl.com before as well
a Tommy Albelin game worn flames home white jersey form the 99-2000 season, a Toni Lydman game used Autographed stick and a Michael Peca signed team Canada jersey

Bought:
- 250 gig hard drive with a backup disc for ps2 that allowed me to burn ps2 games to the harddrive (back-up purposes only of course)
- 3 of the finest Versace shirts money can buy . . . Taiwanese Versace that is.

Sold:
nothing

My buddy is an ebay monster. He buys everything he can (shoes, glasses, clothes, video game systems etc.) He lives in the middle of nowhere in northern alberta so it's easier for him to do his shopping through ebay then to drive down to Edmonton *shudder*.
