In last year’s eBay edition, we ventured into the past and picked out the strange, the nostalgic, and the rare. This year, we pick out some novelties. “eBay novelties” might be an obvious term; everything on eBay has an air of mystery and unusualness after all. However, you will need to do a bit of digging before you find something worth purchasing. After hours of browsing (and encountering some bizarre things), here are our top picks:
LEGO The Beatles Sergeant Pepper Collectibles
GBP35.99 on penzore
Whether you’re a die-hard Beatles fan or a collector looking to invest in something unique, this custom machine-printed LEGO is worth your time. These figures have permanent waterproof machine printed custom designs that will not peel away. Let John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison be your muses!
80’s Style X-Arcade Machine + 250 Classic Arcade Games
USD2699.99 on xgaming_inc
We know. It’s a hefty price tag. But how much is nostalgia worth? If you’ve got the cash or thinking of launching a gaming business (ka ching!), you might want to start with this rare arcade machine. What makes it unique, and possibly worth the money, is that it connects with any existing game systems like PS Consoles, Xbox 360, and Wii. Current games include pinball and racing classics.
Hamburger Phone
USD10.59 on bgood2010
“I’m on my hamburger phone. It’s just like really awkward to talk on.” If these are words you’ve been dreaming of saying, this might be your chance. As seen in Juno (starring the talented and adorkable Ellen Page), this hamburger phone is a quirky and functional gadget. The item can receive calls (duh) and includes a silicone plastic keypad for comfort. It’s worth a laugh.
Alice in Wonderland Tea for One Cup
GBP16.95 on gift_zone_crl
Featuring magical illustrations from the first published edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this Tea for One Cup makes a whimsical addition to your home. It also makes a good gift for fans of dark fairy tales filled with fantasy and mystery. It is made from ceramic.
