Weird things that sell on eBay

Since the dawn of currency, one of the first things people do when they are short of cash is sell their belongings. Pawnbrokers existed as far back as ancient Greece, Rome and China.

Whether you call it a yard or boot sale, hocking, pawning or flogging junk it's all the same. You sell something you don't really want to sell and inevitably for less than you'd like.
