TradeMe's most viewed item of 2018 was a humble piece of sandpaper that sold for $58.
On the face of it, the auction may not seem very interesting, but the paper was listed as "Australian Sports Tape" and poked fun at an international scandal.
Australian cricketer Cameron Bancroft was caught ball tampering in March, using a small piece of sandpaper to damage the ball.
The cheeky Trade Me seller listed their sandpaper with the description: "Perfect for cheating".
Second place on the list went to a wedding dress sold by a woman after the end of her relationship. The dress had been listed as in great condition, unlike the woman's marriage.
"Cannot provide measurements as this was custom made for a little girl who thought she deserved less than what she was worth and she is now a strong woman," the description said.
Third went to an XL condom which reached 69,000 views.
