Today’s picks from ebay are so stupid they’ve inspired me to think of a new website idea. We could call the new site eBeg. People can register, post their sob stories and beg for money. At least the people who bought their silly offerings could get a tax write off. What do you think? Does it have potential for success? Do sites like that already exist and I’m just missing them?

Here we’ve got two goldfish making love for a cool million dollars:

Not surprisingly the seller was horrified and “cried for nearly a week” after seeing such a thing. This was not enough to prevent her from putting on ebay. She claims you can become famous by buying this, but I highly doubt that. Who the heck would care that you bought a goldfish cracker on ebay for an insane price? Especially when there are things like cyclones and earthquakes hogging up all the air time.

The next thing that caught my eye was this guy selling control of his life for one year:

Starting at $123,456 (there’s a creative price!) he will let you write a contract on what you want him to do for one year that he is obligated to fulfill.  How do we know he we really do these things? Last I checked slavery is illegal. What would you make him do if you bought this? I wouldn’t touch this one with a 10 foot pole because of all the liability issues.

If that’s not a dumb enough waste of money for you, there’s always this guy:

For $50,000 he’ll change his name to anything you want it to be for an entire year. I’m not sure what benefit you would receive from this - even as a word of mouth advertising ploy you could think of something a heck of a lot better for that price. Just because he changes his name doesn’t mean anyone will call him that.

I think eBeg could be a huge hit after seeing these things, how about you?
