What was the first item sold in an auction on eBay?
- the broken laser pointer:Actually all of the items listed have been sold on eBay, but the broken laser pointer was the first. Over Labor Day weekend in 1995, the site’s founder Pierre Omidyar wrote the code for what he called an "experiment." He wanted to know what would happen if everyone in the world had access to a single global marketplace. To test his idea, he came up with an auction website, where he listed a broken laser pointer that he was going to throw away. It sold for $14.83. The grilled cheese sandwich, by the way, which supposedly resembled the Virgin Mary, sold for a staggering $28,000.
