I thought I'd reached ebay users collective limits of stuff from the bottom of the barrel but then I saw this little gem: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POKEMON-NINTENDO-CHARMANDER-KP-SKIPS-CRISP-PACKET-RARE_W0QQitemZ330356634866QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Collectables_TradingCards_RL?hash=item4ceaca34f2&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14
6 photos! All exactly the same! Of a nine year old empty bag of crisps!
What's the strangest one you've seen?

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

In all seriousness people do collect crisp packets. They laminate them and put them in albums. Why I don't know! I think its in the guiness book of records as well.
