After talking with
amphigory about the possibility of her finding a mini!Impala on eBay at a not-too-exorbitant price, I started to randomly browse
Supernatural items on eBay. (What can I say? The silent glories of 1928's
Steamboat Bill, Jr. simply aren't holding my attention.)
These, my friends, are those things in the universe of
Supernatural goods and memorabilia that are the unusual items, the oddities, and the things that made me either giggle or raise an eyebrow.
Firstly, this:
JARED PADALECKI Supernatural HAIRY PITS Muscle SEXY Hot [sic], which is actually an issue of
TV Guide that includes pictures of Jared. What made me snort was the "HAIRY PITS" part - besides covering the "Muscle" and "SEXY" bases (along with the more obvious "Supernatural" and "JARED PADALECKI" keywords), the person who listed the auction felt the need to add that extra fillip that would draw in those bored HAIRY PITS fetishists who listlessly troll eBay looking for that perfect hirsuit arm crevice.
This is a beaded bookmark with a "photo charm" of Sam at the end. While it's nicely color coordinated and looks well-made, I wonder if this sort of thing wouldn't sell better on Etsy, perhaps. But - on closer examination of the feedback, this person seems to be selling them like hotcakes.
How about
Handsome Jensen Ackles from Supernatural 8x10?
Okay, the only reason this amused me was "His wife? A horse." And the photo has a "shinny finish". Is that like a whinny? Added bonus:
Freebie innuendo goes here.
Ignore me.
Aaaaand, someone has printed out
shirtless photos of Jared and Jensen and made them into keyrings. Oookaay. Backing away slowly now, because no, that's not creepy at all. Also, borderline unethical/illegal. Oh, wait, there's more!
Sexy fridge magnets (is his hed pastede on yey?) and
watches!
There was a
printed fanzine with fanfic anthologies? Huh.
Here's a replica of Dean's amulet
for your cellphone. To, uh, protect your phone from bodily harm. And possession. For recalcitrant phones, perhaps? Additionally, there's a
similar keyring that's actually kind of cool, and would be fantastic if it guaranteed you wouldn't lock your keys in your car.
Novelty wall clock!Yeah.
I know
the plate is official merchandise, but a plate? Really? I'm just surprised there's a market for that.
This is just the thing to keep your table free of water rings. And to convince your guests that you're a complete creeper.
For your lonely moments -
Jensen Ackles is thinking of you. Naked. Or not.
He also loves you.
He really signs photos like that? Yeesh.
I was hoping to find some of those slashy doujinshi to show you guys, at least partly because some of them are so well done, but they're evidently too popular for eBay.
And that's it. I've never fully explored this on eBay before, obviously, and I hope you all enjoyed the lulz and wtf-ery as much as I did.
