Ever have the desire to buy something cheap that will entertain you for a day or two and then just be done with it? Well look no further! This mini punching ball expels a series of four “R-rated” verbal smacks every time you give it a knock. The recordings are “very coarse,” so this one probably isn’t one for the kiddies.  

This may seem like a silly item, because it is, but it will save you hundreds of dollars as an alternative to throwing the remote through your TV next time your team fumbles the ball. Don’t get mad — just knock the crap out of a cheap piece of rubber and plastic.

Grammy-winning goddess Shakira has relinquished her Fender electric and Taylor acoustic guitars from her Oral Fixation tour for bidding. The proceeds will go to Fundacion Pies Descalzos, a foundation dedicated to helping children displaced by violence in Colombia, using education and other tools to keep children on the right path.

You not only get the chance to bid on Shakira’s guitars, but you have the opportunity to bid on meeting her at her upcoming Toronto performance. The starting bid of $5,900 may be a bit expensive for some of you, but if you win, you get to meet a living deity and contribute to an amazing cause.

If you’re crazy enough to play with the real deal, then go ahead and enlist son. Otherwise, you can check out the auction for Iraq’s 52 Most Wanted playing cards.

At first, I thought it was a bit crude to feature such villains on playing cards, making light of mass murderers and such. But apparently, these cards were first produced to help soldiers get to know and more easily recognize the bastards featured on the cards. At this point, about 44 of the demented inviduals have been captured or killed.

This auction features two side-by-side tickets for “Wicked,” the musical. “Wicked” tells the story of Elphaba and how she grows up to become the Wicked Witch of the West and how she met Galinda Upland who would grow up to become Glinda the Good Witch. The story ends with Dorothy’s arrival in Oz.

“Wicked” was nominated for 10 Tony Awards at the 2004 Tony Awards ceremony. It won Best Costume Design, Best Scenic Design and Best Actress.

Did you know that the Nintendo Wii is spelled with two i’s to represent two people standing next to each other to symbolize gamers coming together?

As today’s hottest and biggest name in gaming, people are certainly coming together for this system. I personally have only played Wii Bowling, and just from that, can see how addictive this system is. The most distinguishing feature would obviously be the wireless controller, which can detect acceleration and orientation in three dimensions — do not let friends on Ritalin play this game for your controller will surely end up through your neighbor’s window.

Perhaps even more interesting than the Harry Potter stories is the history of their inception. Author J.K. Rowling began writing the Harry Potter series while in relative poverty — penning her way into millions, creating the “Potterverse.”

It’s one thing to write an international phenomenon, but to raise yourself from rags to riches by doing so must be one of the most rewarding achievements.

Click through and bid on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Granted, this is not the most exciting item, but hopefully it will open your eyes a little wider to the possibilities of online auctions. This is a set of four used skis going off at $10. So, for one thing, you’re not risking a whole lot with your initial bid/purchase.

Reseller hint of the day: Look for items selling in groups (lots) and try to sell them off individually at higher costs. Imagine you sold each pair for just $5 (someone, somewhere is willing to buy used skis for $5), that would earn you a quick 10-spot wouldn’t it?

Click through and check out some resale opportunities.

No one will ever be able to control the hair of Flock of Seagulls, but this item features a book that will allow you to control a real flock of birds. The Wizard’s Book of Animal Secrets bestows the awe-inspiring power to control and command animals.

Seeing as how a significant amount of our technology mirrors the special abilities of animals, from a bird’s flight to a bat’s sonar, you just might be able to take over the world with this book.

Click through and get a special bonus by bidding on this item.

With a starting bid at $10, you can’t lose, or can you? I don’t actually know, because I haven’t seen a single episode of the apparently popular new series, HEROES. But bidding on a cheap box set of the first series sounds like an awesome way to be a couch mushroom for a day and catch up on the action.

And after you do that, then you can tell me if television and movies should even bother producing works unless their affiliated with Marvel, Dark Horse or the biggest comic names out there.

Unfortunately, amazing bouncing ability is not included with this Tigger costume. However, I’m proposing a new world order involving super identities. Let’s all invest in an alter-ego costume and wear it daily out in public.

Perhaps then we could end racism and vault ourselves forward towards world peace. Well, you can at least bid on a $300 costume and start your own birthday party service.

Click through and bid on a whole new approach to life — TTFN.

Always wanted a boat, but never wanted to deal with the maintenance or docking fees? Well then this little guy is prefect. This one thousand dollar, 1.6 meter long replica speedboat is sure to make waves…wow, I just couldn’t stop from writing that.

Seriously though, this model boat looks pretty nice, featuring mahogany, leather and brass fittings. I’d prefer a nastier looking one, the kind that say, “Come rip with me and take a wave on the wild side,” as opposed to this replica, which says, “Jeeves, would you mind putting another shrimp on the barbie?”

Click through if rich mahogany boats make your prop perpendicular.

This NASCAR replica RC is ready to rock! Maybe it’s because I never had one when I was younger, but these RC cars still have massive appeal for me. It may also have something to do with the fact that this puppy goes over 90 mph! Come on, that kind of velocity is fun for all ages. Actually, if you plan on giving this thing to a younger kid, you might want to make sure there’s a governor. This car even has front suspension mounts.

And to top it off, this RC car represents #8 Dale Earnhardt and Budweiser — a winning combination. Paying $1,280 for some super fast fun isn’t all that bad.
