The world's most famous auction site, eBay, has been known over the years to host some pretty weird items for bidders, as long as they are not body parts, explosives or drugs.

But who on earth would buy snow? And how can that be auctioned; I mean, how does the recipient get it without it melting.

Well, according to some of the sellers slinging snow, there is no guarantee that the "snow" will arrive in "frozen" form. Excuse me? Then someone is really just buying water?

Yup, they are just buying water. Can anyone imagine what they would be buying it for?


One seller of Colorado, non-yellow (thanks!!) snow writes in the auction description: 'It will melt, but you will be the only one on your block with COLORADO SNOW. No Returns and all sales are final and 'as-is'".



These people need some serious psychiatric help to go so far as to sell snow over the Internet. Maybe the seclusion of being buried in for so many weeks is getting to them. Perhaps not in the way that is depicted in Stanley Kubrick's horror class "The Shining," but it's not too far off. Goodness!!

We are going to make a list of the weird auctions on eBay during the next week, so look out for it, or sign up for our feed to be emailed when the story is published.
