I noticed a while back that some eBay auctions have an eye-catching accessory that lures in shoppers no matter how uninterested they are in the product offered, sometimes the addition of this accessory is successful, sometimes less so. I have saved examples of auctions featuring this accessory since I started this blog. Over the years there have been other memorable examples, but alas, I lacked prescience and failed to save them for the appreciation of future generations.<\/p>\n

\"c0b1_3\"This Bus has a faked black plate and the dog looks bored. This is the unpaid ‘friends good-looking girlfriend’ version of the accessory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"39ce_1\"I don’t remember what kind of car this is. Accessory is the low to mid-range pro model.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"8\"This is at the upper end of the pro model. I like the contrasting red\/tan of the accessories packaging against the light blue\/green of the wagon. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"dd44_12\"This is probably the sellers personal accessory doing double duty.\"a896_1\"I wonder whose idea this one was.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"33be_12\"I wonder if they let this one actually sit in the car, and if so, if the ‘Hawaiian Tropic’ smell can be removed along with the greasy ‘print’. I suppose that smell adds value for some bidders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"df66_1\"You are a target audience, you have tattoos, big cuff Levis during the day and a gabardine suit to wear to the hop at night, you drink PBR or maybe Hi-Life. This is your dream accessory sitting in your dream car.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"aedb_1\"Cute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"0174_1\"Is that a Jowett?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"image\"This accessory is of dubious benefit. Is that a Rolls?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know, how dare I objectify women like this? I would argue that it’s not me doing it, I just made a funny collection of examples of it and did a blog post about it.<\/p>\n

This was brought to my attention<\/a>… a definite product enhancement. Wow.
