Monsters under your bed? Yeah, me too. Scary, isn’t it? I hate going to sleep at night! You and I both need one of these six-foot Link statues for protection. Unfortunately, there’s only one for sale on eBay right now. You can have it, I guess. I’ll wait for the next one.

Are you a collector of rare video game ephemera and weirdo hardware? Then today is your lucky day! A weathered, half-functional, and almost completely unknown piece of Nintendo history has surfaced on eBay, and right now the bidding is at a low, low $1250 (plus $400 shipping & handling).

Selling at the time of this writing for just over $1700, this 1949 “toy” cost today’s equivalent of $400 and includes “a U-239 Geiger counter, Electroscope, Spinthariscope, Wilson Cloud Chamber, nuclear spheres model, a book on prospecting for uranium, the Gilbert Atomic Energy Manual, and Learn How Dagwood Split the Atom comic book.

Nowadays you’re more likely to find a kit about how to prove the Earth is 6,000 years old. Oh, the times they are a-changing.

A lightbox is a mighty handy tool. It allows amateurs to take studio-quality pics of little gadgets and whatnots. Normally these kits are kind of pricey, but not today! (really, the deal ends today)

When eBay started to come into the mainstream consciousness, the archaeological community was worried. They predicted that an online marketplace like eBay would make it incredibly easy for people trying to traffic in stolen antiquities. But one archaeologist thinks it’s had just the opposite effect.

If you consider yourself to be a Final Fantasy fan, this one is for you. Awarded as the grand prize for a cosplay competition, it’s a custom PC with the artwork from the Chains of Promathia expansion printed directly on the side panels. Can you say “chick magnet”?

Some people use eBay for what it was originally intended for. Case in point, a limited edition set of 8 Star Trek pez dispensers. If you want one (and you know you do) you can pick it up for about $17 plus shipping until the end of the month.

The Illuminati are real, and have removed that proto-iPhone auction from eBay. The auction had been live for a few days before Apple contacted eBay, shutting the auction down before the proto-iPhone made it “out there.” The video was also pulled from YouTube.

Attention camera fanatics, ebay has a listing for you. The Paillard Bolex H8 Military Gun was apparently used by a Vietnam war reporter and survived. Wartime details about the equipment isn’t listed but just think of the history this camera might have recorded. The buyer gets a few more lens along the original documentation and a case too. But is it worth the $1,318 Buy It Now price? More pics after the jump.

What’s a girl to do when she’s moving to Amsterdam and can’t bring her Town Car with her? Sell it on eBay with help from her daddy’s digital camera and her mothers genes. What else? After all, how the hell else are you going to sell a gigantic, V8 Lincoln from the Bush Sr.’s term? We just wanna know one thing though: Can herpes survive on leather seats? More NSFW pics after the jump.

It’s about time for eBay to reveal its fourth quarter income, revenues and all that to investors, and no one is expecting anything but bad news. The company’s revenue, despite increasing competition from every angle, has grown for ten years straight, but it looks like that simply wasn’t sustainable lately, and they’re going to post a decline in income. eBay is philosophical about it, however, and knew that it was coming, so hopefully their investors are prepared (or have left already).

Oh. My. Gawd. If I only had $5 grand lying around I might consider blowing it on this. One mospeada30 has put up what appears to be the entire G1 collection of Transformers action figures. That includes all action figures from 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, and most of 1988, according to the seller. They’re obviously not in mint condition, but at least a vast majority of them are there and intact. The current bid is $4,250 with 4.5 days left. This sh*t is b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
