1995 was a great year for the increasingly popular Internet, as eBay launched with the name Auction Web. Owned by founder Pierre Omidyar, what was the first item that went up for sale on the site?
Answer Laser pointer
The first item that ever went up on eBay was Omidyar's old, broken laser pointer. His listed it for $1, and it eventually sold for $14.83 to Canadian Mark Fraser. By 1997, the site had sold its millionth item.
