Forty grand for some of Justin Bieber’s hair, or three bucks for the meaning of life? Really? Welcome to the wacky world of eBay.
With just a brief sojourn into this online shopping frontier, we can observe that there’s no telling what people will be willing to buy – or how much they’ll be willing to spend – when they sit down in front of their computers.
For example, someone spent some 5 million British pounds on eBay for a 340-year-old edition of Shakespeare’s “Pericles, Prince of Tyre”. How many undergrads have heard of that one?
But a lesser-known work of the Great Bard beats the heck out of some other things that people buy online. Moon real estate, for example, sells for $18.95 per acre. (I’m sure plenty of acres are still available.) Or perhaps Play-doh cologne or radioactive uranium in a tin is more your speed.
Such ridiculous purchases seem poised to increase as technology trends spur additional online shopping. Some 68 percent of people aged 31-44 already shop online. Not surprisingly, people’s access to the faster broadband internet rises along with personal income.
Mobile internet access will likely spur additional traffic for sites like eBay and Amazon.com. About 60 percent of shoppers have used their smartphones to shop for gifts, while about half have used their smartphones to check store hours and locations. More than 30 percent of shoppers have received text messages with special offers, while nearly 35 percent have read product reviews and 26 percent have made online purchases. Whatever people are buying online, plenty of ecommerce specialists will be providing the fulfillment services behind the scenes.
So suffice it to say that many more potential customers could be on their way – whether you’re selling rare Shakespeare editions or crater-side plots of land on the moon.
How else could one buy Justin Bieber’s hair if not by eBay means?
But seriously, these are things people buy just because they’re bored and because they have too much money on their hands.

I agree they have too much money and time on their hands.
I guess the real estate on dark site of the moon is cheaper

I don’t understand when someone wastes time and spends on something they will never need. I do understand people shopping online, not having time to go to the store, but this is for things that are needed. People are just wasting their time and money on stupid things when more than half of the world would die to have something to eat!
I loved the image of Virgin Mary on grilled cheese. In my country (Mexico) it’s a miracle to see the virgin on a sandwich, hehe.
Online shopping is the best! The potential for your target audience purchasing online consumables (ebooks, downloads, etc.) are so easy, especially when formatted for smartphones, etc. The number will only grow as technology becomes more widespread, internet access gets faster and more accessible (whole cities are offering wifi hotspots now), and people become more comfortable with being online. ‘

Hmmm…wonder if I could get anything for my hair?
I have friends who make a decent second income with an eBay store. He does not sell novelty items, though. He has done it for years and it allows his wife to stay home with the kids and they live in pricey area. I have other friends who market and manage their own sites and continue to live on their sales with no other job. Two small businesses that would not have happened 10-15 years ago. On line shopping will continue to grow, I think. It’s easy, convenient and there is no wasting of gas to drive around town!

Never been a fan of ebay. I noticed some of the regular items are more expensive than online stores – so whats the point. I think people get dragged into the bidder part of it and go over the top.

There’s a lot of weird and strange things that are available online, I only wish all shoppers would be responsible enough to spend their money wisely.

Ecommerce Specialists are doing their job right; we know that for sure. Online shopping offers amazing perks including free shipping, online exclusives, special discounts, etc. What can be better for shoppers to check out multiple stores at once from the comfort of their laptops, than anything else? I love the coupons sent to our smart phones. Just show your mobile to the store representative and get your discount. A simple solution with a massive amount of intelligence behind it.
Thank you for sharing!

I’d say it was unbelievable but then it is eBay we are talking about. People do love to get a bargain, even if they didn’t know they wanted it when the day started!
