I was just having a glance on eBay to see if anybody was selling Monopoly counters (no, I can't think of a sensible reason why they would be either, but that's never stopped anyone on eBay before) and I found the PC version of Monopoly being sold in an auction with the following title:
"MONOPOLY- The Game -Brand New PC CD-ROM"
Quite what the seller believes the original version to be I'm not quite certain.

I came across a £2 coin on eBay today. It was listed as music memorabelia, due to having the title of an Oasis album (standing on the Shoulders of Giants) inscribed on its side. That sold for £18, with p&p at £1.50. I occasionally lose faith in the human race.
Words cannot express how glad I am you shared that story.
You know, Isaac Newton, who came up with that particular album title, was the person who invented the ridges around the edges of coins, in order to stop people shaving metal from the edges, and melting it down to produce counterfeit currency.
Fact!
