You Can Get it on EbAY!

We all know that you can get some pretty weird stuff on ebay, like elvis’s disposable plastic cup, or a piece of toast with the virgin mary on it. What have you found that you thought was odd or weird on there?

I shall go first, i found this a few minutes ago and was like, wtf?
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BRAUN-OFF-ROAD-UNICYCLE-20-IN-CHROME-W1763-2_W0QQitemZ140093959920QQcategoryZ2904QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Unfortunately that’s a unicycle designed by someone who doesn’t ride a unicycle. That particular implementation is at least 2 years old and is indeed a WTF (Worse Than Failure). At least it’s rideable. But it won’t hold up.

I like the quick-release seat-post clamp. It looks really heavy-duty, and a good idea, sticking right out where you can get at it easily. And does resin mean plastic? Those plastic pedals are a good idea – to offset some of the weight of the CHROME. Also, leaving off the handle saves weight, too. And I like the versatility. The 20" MUni also doubles as a trials uni.

And best of all… it’s a Braun.

personnally i like how it says lollipop bearings, and yet it has main cap. Crazy noobs!

This is my current favourite, who doesn’t need one of these in their lives? Not a bad price either.

that really is a pretty good price, i wonder how bad it is on gas though

Well you’ve got a 20hp B&S engine running on full tilt the whole time, plus a subaru flat four auto engine running pretty hard too, it probably doesn’t do too good.

An engine designed to run at a constant rate can be made very economical, shirley? 20hp is nothing either, so compared to the big one it will use very little fuel.

I saw that in a bike shop. I gave it a try and it weighs more than any square taper uni should. I loved the picture that shows nothing but the pedal though.

…and don’t call me “Shirley”! :angry:

Compared to a Coker, you say? I’m going to have to go ahead and disagree with you.

What about those auctions where people will tatto their forehead with somthing for like 20k? Thats rediculous.

I’ve seen that somewhere but can’t remember where? :thinking: It’s weird to see things like that though. :slight_smile:

They get 20 grand and they never get laid again. If I was rich I would pay one of them and get “I have Genital Warts” tattooed on the guy’s head, or maybe just “Dumbass” or “I’m a tool”.

LOL, that would be funny.

True, I guess being a briggs and stratton it’s probably a utility engine so runs at fixed rate with a regulator. I used to fly an F3 hovercraft at school, it had a 250cc twin cylinder bike engine outputting about 27 hp i think but it could eat through fuel because you had to have it going at ballistic rpm the whole time. Unfortunately this also meant it was prone to failure, last i saw of it one of the pistons had a hole in it you could get your finger through.
