SpongeBob 'Flying-V' ukelele
SpongeBob Squarepants has managed to win nearly as many adult fans as child devotees. That's why this SpongeBob ukelele is such a perfect purchase.
You see, if your kid wants to learn an instrument, then why not buy them this Flying V uke, which is not only cool, but reasonable on the pocket too. If they don't take to it, I'm sure you grown-ups won't mind taking it off their hands and learning some ace tunes on it.

1967 Corvette convertible
Summer is here and you might be in the market for a new car. I suggest you get something really impractical, like this killer '67 convertible Corvette 967.
"Big block 427/435 triple carburetor 7.0 liter. 4-speed. Lynndale Blue with White leather and stinger and Black carpets. N89 wheels with Redline tires. This is the famous ‘High-horse’"
I don't even know what that means but it sounds like the coolest thing ever!

Well fear not as you can kill two (rubber) birds with one brick. You can get your hands on a 'CelebriDuck' rubber duck toy, which sees the traditional rubber duck spliced with the A-Team tough guy.
Just don't trying getting it onto a plane.

Woody Guthrie signed and annotated book
Woody Guthrie's influence on American music cannot be ever fully comprehended. You could argue he was the beginnings of Western Pop music. That's what makes this auction so incredible... and expensive.
"Offered here is a remarkable body of work, compiled by Guthrie over a period of many years, at least from 1947 to 1955 (the years of his handwritten entries), which provides incredible insight into his creative process. This volume was obviously an integral tool in Woody Guthrie's songwriting process. In addition to being unique and containing hundreds of handwritten notes and signatures by Guthrie, this work might be the single most historically significant Guthrie document in existence."
If you want to find out more, there's loads of info and photos on the auction itself or, if you have just shy of $150,000 to spare, click here. A staggering auction.

Summer is here! Why not get a classic VW Camper van?
Now that the sun has got his hat on, it's time to start exploring the rest of the country! Britain is always at its best when bathed in dappled sunlight. So, if camping is a stretch too far, why not rough it with a bit of style... AND no need to carry heavy backpacks and tents!
This J Reg (1971) VW Camper Van should do the trick! It's a two berth Microbus delux model with working factory fitted full length sun roof, and original z bed. It is a Californian Import LHD. New MOT, tax exempt. Rust free, good paint, solid chassis, and a really good engine. This is a top quality vehicle, ready to drive and use. Rows of seats weekdays and rear double bed at weekend for camping.

KIO3 Potassium Iodate Nuclear Anti Radiation 60 pills
You may well say that, but if you're some paranoid type, swivelling your head in North Korea's direction, then you might be interested in these KIO3 Potassium Iodate Nuclear Anti Radiation 60 pills.
The seller glares at you and says "You should buy KIO3 before a perceived threat becomes a reality, because, if a nuclear event happens and you haven't acquired KIO3, then it will be too late."
They probably don't work, but if you want to bid, click here

Cozy Powell and Animal pin-up poster?
There's some delightfully odd stuff on eBay... and one pointed out to me by a Twitter pal, CheShA, was this brilliant poster pin-up of Cozy Powell (of Black Sabbath fame) and Animal from The Muppets!
The vendor says: "This is an opportunity to buy a rare pin-up taken directly from a UK music magazine. This is an original, we do not sell copies. These collectable pieces of music memorabilia would be ideal to frame and would make a welcome addition to the wall of any music fan."

Retro pod chair
You will have seen the globe/pod chair before... it's a design classic! It oozes retro sophistication as well as looking like it was designed in a space ship.
A groovy space ship.
A glossy white shell sits atop a swivelling base and stands at 125cm high. Inspired by the famous Eero Aarnio design and considerably cheaper, this would look great in any retro fan's home!

Many many years ago, I lost my Dennis the Menace fan club badge. I still think about it to this day. I lost my googly eyes Gnasher badge on the same day.
So thank the stars for eBay, where people are selling off genuine Beano badges (not copies) with this particular one coming from the '70s and featuring the baddest boy in town, sneering and waiting to be worn on your coat with pride!
