WhatTheHeck.com/ebay/ catalogues a lot of strange eBay auctions.  Like,
a<br>bobsled team, 24 kids, and Lando Calrissian.  You'll see when you check  
<br>the site out :)

"Pop Wheels"... not so much weird but indicative
of the fact that you can find ANYTHING on e-bay.
About a year ago my brother asked me if I remembered an
ad for rollar skate shoes back in the late 70's. I
said yes, they were called "Pop Wheels" and I started
singing the jingle... The were shoes (sandals) with
really thick soles in which, if you pressed a button on
the side, wheels would pop out of the bottom of them
and you could theb rollar skate. Obviously they had a
very very limited appeal and only during the brief
disco rollar skating era. Anyway...long story short, I
found a pair of these beauties on e-bay. Someone else
must have remember them as well, because I paid more
then I should have for them. Sorry, no picture. :-(

I got a 1970 something pachinko machine recently.
What is pachinko, you might find yourself asking?
Pachinko is a sort of casino machine from Japan. It's like
an upright pinball machine - you pull a lever down
and some little steel balls come plinky-plink down
behind the glass. If they go into certain areas on the
game, then they come out a slot at the bottom, and you
can use them to purchase prizes with, a la skee-ball.
It lights up, makes noises, and it's wacky! See it

I read this article on MSNBC about the bid
shielding scam on eBay and wonder if maybe eBay should just
say that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can<br>you withdrawl
your bid once you bid. That way no one will get
scammed.<br><br>Seems to make more sense than allowing a scam to
continue....<br><br>Just a thought.<br><br>Here's the article if you'd
