Since we began this column, I have tried to focus on sites that feature interesting things that you might not otherwise encounter.This aim is not unique to Found On The Web. Our reach is the entire Web, but other sites are more focused or specialized.eBay and other auction sites are really microcosms of the Web and host auctions ranging from the mundane to the arcane. Two sites, DisturbingAuctions.com and Who Would Buy That?, tackle the latter.DisturbingAuctions doesn’t have the quantity of entries of Who Would Buy That? and doesn’t offer live links to the auctions, but it does offer some organization. Who Would Buy That?, on the other hand, offers pithy commentary on each item and represents an approach closer to Found On The Web. It’s also updated much more frequently.
