A lot of the stuff featured on the site is completely unnecessary - you probably wouldn't buy even if you could afford it.

But the site sure is a time-suck...you could spend hours looking at one crazy high-priced item after another, and still find more bizarre stuff. Some of the items have been added recently, while others have been on the site for a few years.
