Fujin FRIGHTENED (aka "Fun with E-bay: From Tifa porn to Final Fantasy marbles)

Browsing e-bay for FF items is an interesting experience. You find good deals on soundtracks, items like jewelry and action figures that I personally would never buy but are cool nonetheless, and then you find the more bizarre aspects of FF fandom…

For $26, a blue marble… err, I mean a "Final Attack" materia. (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1070450687)

Live-action Tifa porn movie (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1510895526)

Stainless steel Reina statue (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1803153156)

They’re making more money by selling this watch than Square made by releasing FF:TSW (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1700085811)

$225 for many little pieces of plastic (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1700233916)

A poster of Rinoa, Quistis and Selphie. The highest bid is one cent. (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1072018346)

Almost 50 bucks for a moogle beanie baby (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1329792468)

Squall address labels. The perfect gift for people so pathetically obsessed they should be put in a mental hospital (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1070945873)

I keep seeing "Squall/Rinoa necklace and ring" sets for about $10. For some reason, this one is just the ring and its highest bid is $70. Huh? (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1070963936)

This doesn’t even look like Terra. (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1803210135)

You can feed a child in a third-world country for a year with the amount of money being spent on this Tifa statue (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1071185340)

Chocobo, tonberry, cactuar and Pupu beanie babies. $76. I wonder if the person who buys these would like to pay for my college tuiton while they’re at it? (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1330517927)

Oh god, it got worse, it got so much worse… $162.50 for a 30" plush cactuar. Heck, even if it were cheap, who wants to snuggle up to a cactus? (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1330518500) :uh?:

FFII… box. Yes, that’s right. You don’t get the game, you just get the box that it came in. (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1331310217)

A $200 T-shirt (http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1700928398)

LOL!!!!

That Tifa porn movie looks pretty interesting 🙂

lol tifa porn movie man thats funny lol i bet 5 bucks somebody in the shrine will buy it lol

I still think the Materia marbles and the empty FFII box are the best ones.

yes, Final Fantasy Marbles. I’ve beem searching for those for the whole of 30 seconds. Seriously, all it is blown glass with a little design. And the "box" set is purely classic.

that was refreshing o_o
some ppl offer crazy stuff and some ppl buy them crazy stuff.. so that would make those ppl…. insane?

This stuff is almost as good as the 800 dollar hammer on ebay. its just a hammer bought at ace hardware and someone is gonna pay 800 dollars for it.

ohhh, that box looks sexy!!!! 😉 now i wish i hadn’t thrown my ff2 box away….

Hey, I’m just wondering if I could make anything off of the empty soda cans surrounding my computer. Or the cardboard CD holder that came with the PC version of FFVII. Fifty dollars, fifty dollars, do I hear fifty-five? 😀

got any of those little stickers they put on cd’s that have the hologram image? those things rock!

That Tifa cosplayer is HOT!

Thats some pretty cool stuff. If I had the money, i’d get that tifa movie!:D

Grrrr, now that Tifa porn movie is just plain DEGRADING TO MY SOULMATE. Whatever ecchi otaku freak show fanboy made that is going to suffer much pain from the Tifa gods someday.

I really want that Tifa statue though… it’s SO DAMN COOL. (And unlike the Tifa action figure, it actually looks exactly like her)

And I also thought those die-cast metal figures were REALLY cool! The Terra one did look like Terra, especially if you’ve seen the CG SD character art for FF6 (not the stuff from the FMVs.)

And… the FF7 materia came with a stand and stuff so it was cool. If I had an obcene ammount of money to throw around I’d buy it 😮

It would be interesting to put a lone marble up for auction on eBay, label it as a Materia, and see if you can get people to buy it 😀
