eBay has weird stuff

[LiquidOcelot]

I search vintage bbq and just look through all the random old and or "old" looking stuff found this "vintage photo with stand up pool and bbq" I spy with my little eye a chestnut in the corner

Agree and that is interesting. How much do they want for a photo? Crazy thing is is that someone might actually buy it.

It's not weird at all. I've been to many estate sales and have seen the same few people buying up old photos and large private slide collections.
I asked one buyer just why he always buys these photos. He said he looks for photos of original vintage cars and classic bicycles, toys, motorcycles, exc.
  He sells these pictures on eBay as some like to collect these vintage original pictures of said items. That is what people want to buy. He doesn't get much for the pictures, maybe a few bucks but this guy had paid $20 for about 3,000 photos that day. These pictures were mostly from the 1940's-70's
  I do see this Chestnut Weber Grill photo being purchased from someone on this site.
Here is another one from the same seller of that chestnut.
