(Semi-OT: eBay but not exactly coin related): since when did they start hosting outside ads?

I never noticed the ads before.

This one was on a coin auction I've been eyeballing (on eBay UK). I found it amusing:

I'll bet a live-fish pedicure would tickle. Not sure I'd go there, even for 70% off! image

I mean, how bizarre is that?





Edit: uh-oh... hang on a sec. I just noticed that little asterisk. I've been had. It's a fake ad.

Aah, never mind. Post a "fishy" coin if you want. image

    You'd think I'd have an Irish florin with the salmon on it around here somewhere, but alas, those are all gone now.

    I guess this thread is irredeemable. Sorry. image

    Edit: no...wait... hang on a sec. We've got a fish on this piece of generic Greek silver.

    Actually, I think it's supposed to be a dolphin, but it looks rather fishy, wouldn't you say?

    And look! It's even giving that horse a pedicure! Perfect! image

    That Fish Pedicure was featured on a TV show that I saw and it's real. The fish only eat the dead skin on your feet and the customers said there was a tingling sensation and it was quite relaxing. Agree that it's gross.
