Top four most interesting things found on Onestart classifieds

From watches, purses and clothes to roommates and tutors, the oddities for sale in the OneStart classifieds can bring relief and a little amusement.

The classifieds are divided into different sections, giving browsers a better idea of what can be found.

People hire themselves out as tutors and offer rides to different places for a negotiable price. Dogs and cats, cars and even friendship are sold.

Here are a few of the most interesting items currently for sale.

UKRANIAN EGGS
Sophomore Jacqueline Perry is one of many students with an advertisement in the classifieds. Her ad is for custom-dyed Ukranian eggs.

“I like dying eggs because the activity is kind of therapeutic to me,” Perry said. “I started dying eggs my senior year of high school, and I loved it so much that I ordered a box of 106 goose eggs and 25 different dyes. I put them on the classifieds so I could make some money off of my hobby and maybe even get more ideas from people per their requested designs. I really doubt anyone will buy one, but who knows? I think it’s a hilarious craft, and no one will really want one, but it makes me laugh.”

BOXING LESSONS
Other ads, though a touch more serious, could also be viewed as a little odd to be sold on the classifieds.

“I offer boxing lessons because it is a labor of love for me,” said Ross Stuckey, a recent Kelley School of Business  graduate. “I really enjoy all aspects of what pundits call ‘the sweet science,’ and I want to pass my knowledge on to those with the desire and grit to learn. My lessons appeal to students with fitness goals — boxing’s a great workout — students interested in self-defense or students looking to relieve stress. I have had several students respond to my ads, and I am currently helping them reach their goals.”

LOWREY ELECTRIC ORGAN
Jaclynne Parody, an employee at the Indiana Memorial Union, is giving away her antique Lowrey electric organ for free.

“I just want someone who will appreciate it and give it a good home,” Parody said. “I have no place to store it, and it needs repairs. When it played, it was beautiful. It belonged to a friend who moved away, and I took it off his hands and played it until the vacuum tube broke.”

BEER LIGHT
Sometimes ads remain in the classifieds section for a long time due to the discretion of the owner. In other cases, ads don’t remain in the section for long.

Rayla Hanselmann, owner of a large neon beer light, posted an ad Feb. 13 in the hopes of selling it.

“My husband and I are selling the beer light because his bachelorhood days are over, and it looks a bit out of place in our kitchen,” Hanselmann said. “We’ve had several people respond to our ad, but most people’s offers are extremely low. This light is worth around $400. We are asking anyone who would like to purchase it to make an offer. It would be great for a frat house or bar area.”
