These day most of us have sold a item on Ebay
but from time to time a buyer will ask a stupid question,
That makes you hold your head and wonder what planet these people are on.
What is the most stupid question you have been asked.

I once sold a wooden fruit bowl i bought in Thailand and was asked if it was water proof .I scratched my head for a while and replyed saying to the best of my knowledge it is and asked why they wanted to know .The reply I got simply stunned me as they said "well I need to know as I want to wash my lady garden in it (I was being polite when I said lady garden ) they actually said something else
.
After slightly being shocked and then falling into peels of laughter ,I composed myself and said If you win it you can wash what the hell you like in it   
This was one of many stupid questions Ive been asked over the years on Ebay when you think you have heard it all ,up pops another idiot .........x

I was selling a ticket for a gig and one potential bidder asked if I'd give a refund if they couldn't get time off work to go.

The thread title did suggest that the OP was going to tell us of of a ridiculous question an eBay buyer asked him.
