We’re talking about Star Wars caskets, stilettos for babies, and action figures of Chris Rock and Will Smith recreating the infamous Oscars slap. These and other absurd finds are featured on the Ebaybae Instagram account. We’ve collected some of the page’s posts to create this new list. Some items are nice to have for their novelty, but others are just completely absurd. “When we see something new, we see it has a potential for rewarding us in some way. This potential that lies in new things motivates us to explore our environment for rewards,” Dr. Düzel told Buffer. “The brain learns that the stimulus, once familiar, has no reward associated with it, so it loses its potential. For this reason, only completely new objects activate the midbrain area and increase our levels of dopamine.” The booth is part of Holsten’s Ice Cream in Bloomfield, New Jersey. After one of the most iconic endings in television history, the shop’s owners decided to put it up for auction. According to a CNN report, 238 people tried to buy the Sopranos booth. Ultimately, it was sold for a whopping $82,600. It does not include the jukebox Tony used in that final scene to play Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’. The hat sold for $44,100 and went to the fast food chain Arby’s. According to the company, the hat resembled one of their first logos. The stone went to the online casino GoldenPalace.com. The company then donated the money to a housing charity, Habitat For Humanity. The company spent $1,209 on the chip. A year before, it also paid $28,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich that supposedly bore the image of the Virgin Mary on its surface. The same thing applies to their DNA, apparently. In 2011, Justin Bieber’s hair clippings sold for $40,688 on eBay. “When we saw this particular item was up for grabs, we knew it was something we wanted to have to add to the collection of oddities we’ve amassed over the past several months,” spokesperson Drew Black told the Associated Press.
