Not Ebay/Amazon, but I built a $6000+ Racing Simulator.. Built back in April, used it a handful of times and just sold it a couple weeks ago.

When we started WFH in March, I rebuilt my entire home office. New huge desk, shelves, new lighting, new 27" iMac with a second 27" monitor plus a new Dell Windows 10 box. I figured we'd be WFH until there was a vaccine available. Then in July, the powers that be decided it was worth the risk to everyone's health to have us all come back into the office. Go figure.
I don't necessarily consider that a stupid purchase, though. And the gov't kindly footed a good part of the bill with the stimulus checks. So at least now I have a really nice home office setup.

I thought that ordering a one gallon jar of Maraschino cherries from Amazon was a good idea last May. It almost lasted me three weeks.
The craziest thing that I ordered from Amazon was a 100-pack of medical centrifuge tubes last April...when I don't even own a centrifuge! Two years ago, we had an office contest to find the craziest item that is for sale on Amazon. Anyone want a box of communion wafers?????

Another e46 that I keep pouring money into via amazon and eBay... only in around 5k so far so it isn't that bad. One owner cali car with 140k on the clock. I now have 2021 tech in a 2003 so it isn't that bad.

an office chair that is nicer than what I have at my office, and a whole lot of wood working tools. Probably would have taken longer to buy them if I hadn't been stuck at home as much. Also a grand piano. This quarantine thing has been expensive :|

Not amazon or ebay...but.... Over a hundred bottles of gin. Well at least it's not that useless. Worst case scenario, i'll be your favorite bootlegger.
