Even though this world is a beautiful place filled with things we should be grateful for (e.g.-chocolate, clear sky, roses, Beyoncé etc.), sometimes this species called Homo sapiens manages to do some questionable deeds that put the authenticity of human evolution in a position of doubt. Thanks to the weird wiring of some of our fellow comrade’s brains, human beings have so far successfully turned completely normal things into absolute insanity, auctioning being one of them. Now, we have all heard of extravagant prices being paid for things that evidently cost less in auctions, but sometimes things are taken to the next level. Here are five very questionable items to ever go up for auction that would make you sit down and rethink the value of your entire existence.
The Entire Country Of New Zealand!

Yes. You read that right. Someone tried to sell the entire country of New Zealand. That too, on eBay. In 2006 May, an Australian man tried to auction off the neighboring country at a starting price of 0.01 Australian dollars. After the price rose to 3,000 Dollars after 2 biddings, eBay finally decided to close the auction. Wonder what did any Kiwi had ever done to this man.

Now, the first one was clearly a practical joke, but this was serious business. In 2013 a slice of Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding cake, preserved since 1947, was sold for £560. If there is anyone who can outdo Kanye West in his confidence to be able to sell completely useless stuff for a sky-high price, it is the royal family of Britain, may be!
Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie’s Breath In A Jar!

In 2010 apparently, a jar of Brangelina’s breath was sold for £340. Even the most vocal advocate of human rights would agree that someone as stupid as to have bought that, really did deserve to be scammed like that.
Justin Timberlake’s Half-Eaten French Toast

In 2000, according to a report of Entertainment Weekly, a fan paid 1,025 USD for a French toast that Justin Timberlake hadn’t finished eating. Sometimes looking back at the year 2000, one can’t help but wonder if it was even real or if everyone was just high on some fine quality KUSH.
If you have never experienced the pretty little thing called existentialism ever before, now you surely would. You are welcome. Happy to have been of service!
