Products You Can Make Yourself and Sell on eBay

In these troubling economic times, more and more people are turning to eBay to sell junk. Lately I've had some ideas for some ju... um, er... products that I could make myself and sell on eBay. But since I don't really feel like making any of these things, I'm just going to write an ebook about the things that you can make yourself and sell on eBay, and sell it on eBay.

Just to give you an idea of some of what I have in mind, I'll list just a few of my product ideas. I won't list them all because, as the old saying goes, why would someone buy the house when you're letting them use the bathroom for free? OK, I don't really remember the old saying but it's something like that.

Anyway, here are some of the products:

1. PVC Ghost Detector - people who shop on eBay are peculairly drawn to the paranormal. So I had an idea for a ghost detector made out of PVC pipe. The way that it works is that you speak into the open end of the pipe and say, "Are there any ghosts in this house?" If there are, something happens. I don't actually know what yet because I haven't had a chance to make one and test it in a house that I know to be haunted.

2. Breakaway noose - you know how some people want to say that they want to commit suicide only they don't really want to commit suicide, they just want to get attention? This would be a perfect gift for the psuedo-suicidal citizen. It's got a noose that goes around your neck like a regular noose - and it has a length of rope. The noose is actually only attached to the length of rope via velcro, only the nervous onlookers don't know this. The suicide threatener says, "OK, I'm really doing this..." and then actually jumps off the chair. Voila. The rope breaks away from the noose, the psuedo-suicidal psycho lands on the ground uninjured, and the crowd has a heart attack.

3. Coke can pot pipe - OK, so this isn't actually an original idea, and anyone who would be inclined to use this product already knows how to make it themselves. But I figured, people will buy anything on eBay, so... why not?

4. Clean pee - this is perfect for the user of the coke can pot pipe. I figure there could actually be a big market for clean pee nowadays, what with unemployment being up and all, everyone needs every advantage they can get to get a job. And since more and more companies require drug testing lately... selling clean pee on eBay could be the wave of the future. Of course, since the buyers of this product are going to be drug addicts, just make sure you get your money up front.

Well, like I said - it's not an exhaustive list, but you get the idea.
