#1 Broken Laser Pointer
The beginning of Ebay, the first auction ever. Pierre Omidyar wrote the code that evolved into what we know today as Ebay. Originally called AuctionWeb and hosted on the same server as Pierre's page about the ebola virus, the site began with the listing of a single broken laser pointer around September 1995. Though Pierre had intended the listing to be a test more than a serious offer to sell at auction, he was shocked when the item sold for $14.83.
