" border="0" alt="keith.gif" /> A lot of pirate items on eBay are just trying to cash in on the word pirate, such as a knife listed as a "pirate knife" when it has nothing on it to make any such association to pirates. A lot of tall ship images are listed as "pirate" ships simply because some people apparently have no concept otherwise. It has sails, it must be a pirate ship. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I've been a longtime eBayer - selling and buying - and a lot of my searches on eBay are simply to find interesting pictures to archive for a later time when I can make my own pirate website - something I WILL do in the future... In the meantime, I thought perhaps it would be fun to list some interesting piratical things that have been offered up for auction on eBay.
Note: I welcome anyone to find interesting piratical things on eBay to post in this topic, but please don't overdo it with the knives and blades unless they are historical and truly intriguing. There are so many modern junk blades on eBay right now. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
