Tales of Suspense #39, first ever Iron Man comic!

"This", proudly boasts the seller, "TALES OF SUSPENSE#39 is the FIRST APPEARANCE of IRON MAN in MARVEL COMICS." Obviously, this is highly collectible and with the new Iron Man film out in the cinema, it's only getting more collectible. The comic is "in the vg+ range" and "the cover overlaps the pages slightly."

You may have noticed that Iron Man's outfit is somewhat different from the red and yellow one we're all used to, which surely only adds to the thrill of seeing him in his original state. As this is so collectible, the price will be pretty high on this one... but that's the state of play for all pieces of comic book history. The seller's page has some hi-res scans for those wanting a closer inspection.

12" custom Jerry Seinfeld action figure

I think this might be a bit of a collectable. What you have here is an foot tall action figure of Jerry Seinfeld, from the legendary US comedy show, er, Seinfeld.

Amusingly, this seller informs potential buyers that this is not a real Jerry Seinfeld, but in fact, a toy. So sorry to all of you who thought you were bidding on the man himself.

If you're interested in this figure, the seller has loads and loads of pictures and details on the eBay page.

Human fart in a jar... for sale.

Over to the seller for this one as there's no way I can try to flog it to you... you can have it unedited.

"Alright up for action I have here A fart in a Jar... No, it's not a joke.   About 3 years ago I was eating a lot of junk food, and drinking a lot of wine coolers, and was just getting all wild in Crazy. Well I had the Bright Idea to Fart in the jar, and see what would happen. Well that was March of  2005.  I had all intentions of opening the jar myself and seeing what had happened to my putrid  fart.  But I just don't have the guts to open it. I still remember that night, and I remember how it rank it was. I can't bare to throw it away, but I can't stand to have it in my apartment anymore. I just feel that  I farted in this jar for a reason. I think that the reason was so one of you wonderful people could have what I just can't handle. This jar has never been opened since that night. Are you the one???" Click here if you are the one.

She will be glad to send a note stating where and when to the winning bidder."

Sadly, for all you European based Elvis fans, this bid is only available to US shoppers.

With 80s hairspray rock back in vogue, it only seems fair to mention the Jem and the Holograms cartoon.

Buy a laptop from eBay

eBay is a great place to pick up bargains as well you know. If you know what you're looking for, you can sidestep the sales pitches and meet 'n' greet men to shop in peace and quiet. Some of the worst offenders, prone to leaping on you as soon as you walk through the shop door, are gadget salesmen. So, if you're looking for a laptop, then why not try eBay.

There's a middle boggling array of option, and you could pay anything from £130 upward. It's probably worth doing your homework first before blindly clicking 'buy'. It may be a good idea to get down the computer shop, get the sales people to decide what is best for you, then go home and see if you can get it cheaper on eBay.

The Jam 'Move On Up' flexi-disc

I've just been nattering about the humble flexi-disc, sadly, now defunct. The flexi-disc was a literally a flexible record, usually given away free with magazines or boxes of cereal (or a post office account in my case).

One great little flexi is The Jam's 'Move On Up'. As with all flexi discs, this item is a little bit crackly. The song is a live recording from Japan (catalogue number Paulo100) and was releases in 1982.

Antique bottle... complete with fossil.

Over to the seller for this one...

"This is way better than seeing Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich, or thinking your potato chip is in the shape of the state of Indiana. This is real. This is a miracle! I bought a box of antique bottles and in sorting them out found this one exactly like you see it, with a fossil inside. The bottle is 6-1/2" tall, and on one side reads, "Guaranteed Union Made Flask". The opening at the top is 6/8 of an inch. There are seams up the sides. There is one very small chip at the bottle edge but other than being dirty this bottle is in great shape, and a really weird piece."

Original Wedding Album LP signed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono

With the news that the lyrics for Give Peace A Chance are up for auction at Christie's, I thought it might be worth looking at some other Lennon pieces on eBay. So, up for grabs is an original Wedding Album LP  signed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

The LP is signed and inscribed on the inside front cover of the album box, “To Howard, with love from John Lennon &,” and “Yoko Ono,” Lennon adding a double caricature sketch of himself and Yoko.

The Wedding Album was the last in a series of three experimental albums by Lennon and Ono. Released in 1969, it comprises two long tracks, one on either side of the album. “John & Yoko” is a recording of Lennon and Ono calling to each other through a range of emotions over the sound of their heartbeats. “Amsterdam” includes interviews, conversations, and captured sounds during the couple’s famous “Bed-In” honeymoon following their marriage in March of that year.

Elton John pinball machine

Elton John famously played a pinball whizz in Tommy, so it stands to reason that he should have his own pinball machine. So with that, let me introduce you to the lovely looking Captain Fantastic Pinball Machine.

The machine is in excellent working condition according to the seller, which is great for a machine which dates from 1976. Of course, this is highly collectable too. There's more pictures of this great item on the eBay page. Click here to see them or make a bid.

Fancy spending a day on a film set?

There's been a similar experience on offer before on eBay, with the film Waking Madison, which went down a treat, so now, the same people have arranged for you to bid on a "Day On Set" visit for new film Leaving Mississippi.'

The film will be shot in March/April of next year in New Orleans, Louisiana. Your personal day on set includes two nights in a hotel in the French Quarter of New Orleans, round trip airfare if you are in the United States, a full day on set of the film Leaving Mississippi, transportation to and from the airport and to set and lunch with the director and producers.

One person who has done this before said "I have to say that when the time came to leave, I practically had to be dragged out of there. Even though it was 3am, I was learning and seeing too much to want to go. It will be a memory I'll keep with me for a long time."

Tina Turner wig

Don't ask me why I was searching for a Tina Turner wig... maybe it's because I wanted to prove to myself that you can find almost anything on eBay if you look hard enough... maybe it's because I've got Private Dancer stuck in my head again.

Anyway, Tina Turner's famous 80s hairdo it is. This wig is brand new with a tag and comes from the Lacey Costume Wigs New York Collection. It's designed to fit "the average head, but will also adjust to fit a larger head as well." They fit men and women, but are not designed to fit children. If a child wanted one, I'd worry for it. Anyway, this is perfect for a fancy dress... just make sure you perfect your Tina strut first.
