A Smurf ... TV tray

My house ... is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)

"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay
    

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)

(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay
    

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please ya
As long as I've got the dough
    

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

TO ADD TO IT . . .
(written by Share Bond)

Wanna buy an endangered species pelt?
Or a protected snake belt?
"They have permits", the sellers betray.
They don't check on eBay!
    

Wanna buy illegal items, even drugs?
Have dirty dealings with thugs?
Wanna buy a GUN disguised in many a way?
Yes, you'll find it hidden on eBay!
    

Wanna buy protected bird nests and eggs?
Puppy paws, wild animal fetuses and legs?
Live animals, some dead and bent?
Even the Head of eBay President!!
    

Dig deep enough and you will find this.
Illegal bear, otter, baby raccoon penis.
Even a Cheeto or potato penis I found one day.
Oh my, only on eBay!!
    

It's no joke, everyone will say

You can buy ANY-frigging-THING on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y!!!

(Come on Weird Al, add THIS to your song!!
You have my permission!)

Stripper flogs breast implant on eBay | The Register

Still, it's not all doom and gloom.  Where would we be without someone trying to flog a cheese toastie with a picture of the Virgin Mary, a Texas snowball for sale or a skint Londoner who tried to sell "absolutely nothing".

HEY, SOMEONE TRIED TO SELL ABSOLUTELY "NOTHING" - EBAY PRESIDENT'S HEAD!!  I find it odd that they QUICKLY swoop down and remove all traces of THAT item, but drag their feet about preventing illegal items from ever going to their auction and changing their program to do so, or even finding their OWN violations!  They wait until OTHER people do THEIR work for NOTHING!

The rental agreement marks a new high for Golden Palace, which has pretty well cornered the "ridiculous eBay auction" market.  The company already owns the now-legendary Virgin Mary in a toasted cheese sandwich, for which it forked out $28,000 (£15,000), as well as "a haunted walking cane bought for $65,000 USD (£35,000), a child's bumper sticker for $10,700 USD (£5,700), and a Weeping Jesus Rock for $2,550 USD (£1,300)!" as the breathless press release puts it.

And it has been a source of amusement, whether about the grilled-cheese sandwich with the image of the Holy Mother that sold for $28,000 or the man who auctioned his forehead for advertising space for $37,375.  Almost all of it — the growth, the impact, the oddities — has come as a surprise".
