Not worst exactly, but certainly most ambitious thing was an alledged 1st edition book signed by Sir Terry Pratchett.
It had pride of place on an otherwise almost bare pitch, it was all wrapped in cellophane and it had a photo of the seller with Sir P and the book.
Trouble was even through the cellophane it was obvious it was not a 1st edition (of which incidentally there are millions anyway) it was even a first print run. Then of course Sir P signs everything, his fans will often state that an unsigned book is worth more than a signed one as it is rarer.
The price for this book....£500.
