Can anyone tell me what the hell it is... or what it's claiming to be?

For 400 pound i will spray whatever you want on a leather tube. Titanic anyone? It's "authentic", i promise.

I was just thinking the very same thing...

My personal all-time favorite has to be the haunted shoe someone was trying to get rid of some years ago.
Nothing more than a regular leather shoe, covered in green mould, in a highly decomposed state. But it was haunted, you know. Spooky scary stuff...

That genuine alien's head artifact was also a pretty neat attempt to get junk sold. Supposedly grabbed from an alien spaceship by a friend of the seller while being abducted, the description boasted the thing to be "possibly one of the greatest artifact finds ever in the history of mankind" (or something along those lines anyway).
Well, that could be just me and my little mind not being able to comprehend such astonishing one-of-a-king objects, but it looked to me like a halfway decent plaster casting, painted to looked patinated and ancient.

"Sometimes there are preferable options to listing something on eBay. Like burial. Or smashing with a big hammer."

The bits of toast and left-over mouldy pizzas supposedly half-eaten 50 years ago by Elvis or John Lennon that crack me up .
