You really can buy anything on eBay. Really. Granted, your chances of buying something illegal are slim because those auctions get cancelled as soon as they are discovered (no, do not test this theory out for yourself by putting your sister or your kidney up for auction), but of the things that can be legally sold within the United States...well, if someone is selling it, it's on eBay. I've bought cool things there that I could find in any store. Like the pie plate that I was finally able to get, replacing the one I broke when I was seven (sorry, Mom) or the herbs I use in soap making (okay, I admit, I was also curious as to whether the post office could tell mugwort from marijuana).
That's not the point. What was the point again? Damn it, I hate it when that happens...
Oh yes, the point was that you can buy anything on eBay. You can get your very own county jail on eBay (http://apnews.excite.com/article/20051129/D8E640E80.html). Not your very own county, unfortunately, just the jail. Why anyone would need their own jail, I don't know. Even when I was in college, none of the parties were that wild.
And if you would like your jail to be fully functional, there's the correctional officer/jail/prison guard test (http://cgi.ebay.com/CORRECTION-OFFICER-CORRECTIONAL-JAIL-PRISON-GUARD-TESTS_W0QQitemZ4592921906QQcategoryZ378QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), the leg irons/shackles so the prisoner doesn't get away (http://cgi.ebay.com/1800s-Old-West-Prison-Jail-House-LEG-IRONS-Shackles_W0QQitemZ7728330550QQcategoryZ209QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), the orange jumpsuit (http://cgi.ebay.com/Prison-Inmate-Jail-Uniform-Jumpsuit-orange-4XL_W0QQitemZ8357773030QQcategoryZ16119QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), the parking sign so you always have a space (http://cgi.ebay.com/WARDEN-PARKING-prison-correctional-jail-sign_W0QQitemZ7727963334QQcategoryZ39720QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) and of course keys (http://cgi.ebay.com/Jail-or-Prison-Keys_W0QQitemZ6230216168QQcategoryZ3557QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) so you can lock your prisoner up in a cell.
Don't get me wrong, there are stupid things on eBay too. Like dog toys. The same dog toys that I can buy at PetSmart for less than what these people want for shipping and handling. Or items that you can buy for just 1 cent (that's right folks, buy it now for $0.01 per unit!), but you have to $19.99 EACH to get it shipped to you.
My personal favorite item on eBay right now is this tee-shirt - http://cgi.ebay.com/JAIL-TO-THE-CHIEF-Patriotic-T-shirt-XL-vks_W0QQitemZ8358193231QQcategoryZ15687QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem. Stuff like this shirt are the reason why I love eBay. It goes well with the county jail, don't you think?
