Most Obscure Item Someone Has Purchased

    I am a pretty big Amazon advocate when it comes to their affiliate program, and use it quite heavily with some decent success.
    I have seen many different purchases from people that have purchased via my affiliate links.

    What is the most obscure item someone has purchased after using your affiliate link?

    Someone purchased this via my affiliate link the other day:
    http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Costum...Thanksgiving+Roasted+Turkey+Costume+Hat+Adult
    The actual item I was promoting was a computer peripheral.

    Lol, that's awesome! I haven't had anything to crazy yet. For some reason people keep buying dozens and dozens of cheap decals through me?

    Yeah, I had a bit of a laugh to myself when I saw it in my report.
    Cheap decals, at least it is a sale =P

    I don't get weird purchases for some reason. I also really don't get a lot of purchases of goods other than what I'm promoting. The niches I'm in suck for that and the people come away pretty much buying the one or two items they clicked on and leaving.

    I used to have that issue, people only purchasing what I was promoting (not that it was a bad thing). I have since started another site based around Amazon although the products I promote have a lot of addon's or spare features that can be purchased as well. So people generally look at those extras as well which eventually seem to lead them to some odd items.

    The weirdest, creepiest thing that someone purchased were these mousepads with a picture of anime girls with big boobs. I don't remember the specific mousepad, but I'm talking about something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Anime-Ergonom...52411054&sr=8-1&keywords=anime+mousepad+boobs

    What was funny about this purchase is that these pads are insanely expensive. (I think the one the customer bought was, like $35 or something.)
