A small overview of Chris's purchases on eBay.
Moar.
Opened package and was attacked by rabid raccoon. DO NOT TRUST THIS SELLER!
Feedback from fallenfromgrace216 on Chris's eBay account

eBay is an online auction site frequented by Chris. He has often purchased and sold stuff there.

Chris as a buyer

Chris bought a lot of My Little Ponys from the site. His many eBay purchases helped Chris accumulate a debt of $2,000 on his credit card.

During the Megan Saga, Megan often got Chris to buy her stuff — pictures of World War II Wehrmacht soldiers, anime CDs, Sailor Moon paraphernalia — from eBay, probably because she didn't have a credit card herself. In an email from 2007, Megan revealed the nature of the transactions, offering to repay Chris with "cash and or unneeded goodies",[1] though it seems in some cases Chris would buy things as gifts for her.

According to his feedback history as of 31 March 2010, he spent $12.97 on God of War III The Forgotten Warrior Skin Code for PS3 and $9.99 for a God of War III Apollo In Game Skin Code. On 1 September 2010, he spent thirty dollars on a ModNation Racers Ratchet & Clank Mod. To put that in perspective, he could have bought the PSP version of ModNation Racers with that money, which he already did.[2] The Ratchet & Clank Mod was later released on the PSN for merely $2.[3] Most recently, however, Chris purchased a Lego Friends promotional display stand for $30.[2] Lego Friends is a series of Lego aimed at pre-teen girls, as evidenced by its general kidiness and ease of assembly.

After being MIA on eBay for 2 years, he came back in late 2012 as a buyer. A new noteworthy feedback was the Skylanders Giants Wii Bundle Pack plus Bonus, which he sold for $165.

Immediately after listing and successfully selling various drawings (including the Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing) and multiple autographed photos in early July 2014, Chris bought several Lego minifig parts on eBay.[2]

Chris as a seller

TRUE and HONEST Guitar Hero merchandise
Notice the wonderful pile of dishes. Who wouldn't want to buy something from this house?

Chris auctioned off a pink Leapster similar to this one on August 13, 2008.
Chris tried to sell this for $65. Seriously.
"The main image for this sale was edited to prevent forgery during listing, but a sample of the color is the secondary photo."

Since the late 2008, when the Chris-chan phenomenon became more widely known, people used Chris's eBay account as a means to troll him. They would bid on his auction, not pay, and then leave lulzy negative feedback.

Early in 2009, Chris tried to stop this form of trolling by changing his eBay name to "jesusguidesme2", and deleting information from his account. It didn't work. The account had been dormant since September 2010, but was active again as of August 2012.

As of September 2009, Chris, in a rare display of monetary wisdom, sold two of his awful guitars. While not the autistic magnum opus we know as that Gitar of Fail, the "Meatwad's Shredwad" shows off Chris's disregard for copyright and his fail art in one fell stroke. It's perfectly okay for Chris to sell his crappy fake Aqua Teen Hunger Force merch, but none of those slanderous trolls can do the exact same goddamn thing with Sonichu products. He also sold his Gibson model controller, which was covered in stickers. Someone purchased both controllers for a ridiculous $90.99, plus $6 for shipping.

He also sold a Bumblebee 2008 Concept Camaro claiming that it was unopened, which wasn't true.

In August 2008, Chris auctioned off a pink LeapFrog Leapster. He received $29.99 for it. The Leapster is a handheld "educational" video game system marketed to children ages 4-10. This wasn't released until late 2003, so Chris was at least twenty-one when he bought it. He may have bought it because there was a Sonic X game available for the system. The game, which involves answering math problems to advance, is appropriate for 5-7 year olds.[4]

On 18 September 2013, Chris returned to eBay and tried to sell the "kre-o micro changers Series 1, 12 piece set complete" collection for $65.

On 28 May 2014, Chris posted on Facebook that he is selling a Antonio Stradivarius Violin/Fiddle that belonged to his deceased father. Chris stated that he and his mother desperately needed to sell this family heirloom for some quick cash, while at the same time Chris begs his friends and family for duplicates of expensive LEGO sets he lost in the house fire.

On 1 June 2014, Chris listed an Original Sonichu and Rosechu Drawing, with bids reaching over $10,000 in the first day of listing. Chris offered to frame the drawing and ship it in bubble wrap, but "ONLY when the art is Bought Now for the full price". He also planned to draw another "Original fresh" piece of art to sell afterwards. The listing was taken down mysteriously the morning after, but then reappeared later that day. Over the span of eight days, Chris attempted to force this piece of "work" to be sold at an exuberant price, only for it to be taken down repeatedly, forcing eBay to temporarily ban him.

On 1 July 2014, Chris listed autographed photos of himself for sale, at a price of $20 each. Chris offered to write personalized messages in addition to his autograph, as long as the requests are "Not Offensive". In the eBay Q&A for the listing, he approved "All that is down is only the floor" as a message, and indicated that he may possibly wear the Sonichu medallion for an autographed photo. Unfortunately, he stated that his red and blue "The Classic" rugby shirt was lost to the January 2014 house fire, so it would not be available for photos. As of 8 July 2014, the listing says that 38 photos have been sold.

He has also listed CDs of the 1990 WTJU Jazz Marathon, which his dad hosted and which he has made freely available through Facebook. According to the listing, he has permission from WTJU to do it. Predictably, the CD cover has Sonichu and the words "(C) 2000 CWC" on it.
