What's the most irrelevant thing you've ever sold from Amazon?

    You know, you've taken all this time to set up a niche shop and then someone comes along and buys something completely unrelated to your niche!

    I have a few affiliate links on my mountain-biking blog, which doesn't see that many sales, but I do occasionally sell some bike repair tools, books about biking etc.

    The other day someone buys through my site...

    ... a 5-pound tub of honey and a book about knitting socks!

    That's gotta be the most irrelevant sale I've had! Must have been a keen sock-knitting, honey-eating mountain-biker.

    What's your most irrelevant sale?

    Now THAT'S gotta be worth selling!

    I suppose your niche is something like garden tools?!

    Wow I think those beat mine out... Here's a couple things I got credit for in the last month from my technology related blog:
    Hoover Vacuum ($200 vacuum, woohoo lol)
    Joesoef Moisturizing Skin Soap
    Foam Rollers (?????)
    Swiss Army Knife

    I sold a used "Shaver" for a couple dollars. I thought that was just kinda funny when someone bought that, I mean a few dollars more for one someone hasn't used.
