text: what is the wierdest thing sold on ebay?   somebody got an f/a-18 fighter jet and tried to sell it on there once, but the government found out and made the owner sell it back to them.  i don't think we ever found out who sold it to the person in the first place, but he/she did obtain it legally.  so i guess it wasn't technically "sold" on ebay but i hope you'll agree that my answer complies with the spirit of the question.
