Collecting Junk

Welcome to E-Junk! With E-Junk, the newest and coolest auction site on the Internet, you can buy and sell absolutely anything all day long -- no matter how useless or repugnant it may be. Here at E-Junk, we're unleashing the vast power of the Internet to make sure you can own more junk than you can even imagine.

Just think about the possibilities! Before E-Junk, if you collected pez dispensers, you may have gone days without buying any. Not anymore! With our E-Junk auctions, you can now collect pez dispensers every single moment of your friggin' life. And it's not just pez. We have tons of useless junk. Our auctions will keep you so busy that you'll never even have a chance to leave your house. And with E-Junk on your computer, why would you?

Here's just a look at what's up for auction right this moment at e-junk.com (and at our sister site e-crap.com) Remember. If you see something you like, be sure to register to become a member today. After all, these items certainly won't last.

And if nothing here interests you, you can always start your very own E-Junk auction. If you find something unrecognizable in the corner of your cellar, why not put it up for auction? Who knows? There may just be someone out there who collects unrecognizable stuff found in the corners of cellars. Chances are if he exists, he's a part of the E-Junk community.

Clean out your house and put your junk on auction. You won't regret it. After all, as we like to say here at E-Junk: There's always someone stupid enough to buy your junk!
