What was the world's first eBay item ever sold?

Would you believe eBay turned 10 in 2005, it's true.

eBay was created in September 1995, by  Pierre Omidyar, originally called AuctionWeb.

The name 'eBay' comes from the domain Pierre used for his site. The company name was Echo Bay, and the 'eBay AuctionWeb' was originally just one part of Echo Bay's website at ebay.com.

Now for the first item ever sold on eBay, well, it was Pierre's, he managed to sell his broken laser pointer for $14.00.

In 1997 Pierre changed the company name to eBay. In this year eBay also sold it's millionth item,  a toy version of Big Bird from Sesame Street.

Here's another bit of trivia, Pierre has a blog, but it hasn't been updated since 2004.

Lots of other cool need-to-knows on the home page too. :icon_smile_tongue:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I know, he's filthy rich. Starting february all the prices are going up again to list, final sale value, etc. He can never have enough money.

Short for weB LOG[/b]. Your immediate group of friends is not a large enough of a group to share your simply fascinating life with so you announce it to the world for all of them to read in silent rapture all the events of you and your amazing abilities and events.
