A Meteorite From Mars
This item is not so much bizarre as it is super cool. You can find thousands of meteorite pieces on earth, but there are only about one hundred that have been brought back from Mars.
One tiny piece was sold for an impressive $450,000 on an eBay auction in 2003.
An F/A 18 Hornet Fighter Jet
Someone decided that spending millions on an old F/A 18 Hornet fighter jet from a scrap yard was a good idea, but they didn’t realize how much work it would be to get it going.

Lunch With Warren Buffet
To raise money for charity, legendary businessman Warren Buffet auctions off a lunch with himself every year. The highest bid happened back in 2010. A completely unknown bidder spent a mind-blowing $2.6 million for lunch with Buffet.
