Though at times, there are bound to be something funny going on eBay. While browsing through gaming cards, TechieDan stumbled upon one of the most ridiculous prices for a gaming card.

US $21,000,000.00 for a piece of card. Let’s look at the description for this card then.

The small text at the Q&A reads

Q. i mean seriously lol
A. A new penny!!

I guessed the seller was planning to make this thing on purpose. Either he was having a funny feeling or maybe he’s a whacko.

Wondering what’s wrong, we shall look further into the sellers other items.

Everything was normal except the one above. At least this cracked me up while working in the office. If you wanna have a look at it yourself here’s the link to the seller lovetosingrock’s store.

One of the interesting things about eBay International though is that I can use Paypal to pay for my products. Now one thing a lot of people are afraid of shopping online, especially in the vicinity of a country like Malaysia, is security. Though after 20 over years, people have gotten confident in buying and selling their products online. Thus eBay has even helped the online community to ensure their transaction go as smooth as possible.
