Wacky Health and Medical Stuff on eBay

By Scott Mowbray | October 22, 2008

As the economy staggers like Mr. Magoo in a bar brawl, it gets harder to stay healthy by conventional but costly means, such as visiting your doctor or joining a gym.

Is it time to bid on a little do-it-yourself medicine, perhaps? EBay lists more than 37,000 products under the category of “medical equipment” and another 12,000 under “health.” A little DIY initiative will get you ceramic replacement teeth for some home dentistry, for example. We kid, of course, but here is a slideshow of highlights from the halls of the great global health auction.

Above, a Day of the Dead scene, doctor’s office edition, for a $6.99 opening bid. But wait! There’s more! View the slideshow.
