8. Michael Jackson's Boxer Shorts: These shorts must know some pretty dirty secrets. Jackson's shorts sold with a reserve price of $1 million. They had been seized as evidence during a child molestation investigation of the former pop singer.
7. The Meaning of Life: The eBay seller claimed to have discovered the reason for our existence. Unfortunately for him, it seems either buyers are not so easily tricked or they do not really care. The highest bidder only offered $3.26 for the answer to this philosophical question.
6. A Baby: A couple put their baby up for sale on eBay starting at 1 Euro as a joke. Apparently, authorities did not find their gaffe so funny. The couple were investigated for child trafficking and their child was briefly taken into custody.
