13 things you won’t believe you can actually buy on Amazon

With millions of products available on Amazon, it’s no wonder that beyond the e-books, soap refills, and kitchen tools, you’ll find some downright amazing items hiding in random departments. From vintage arcade games to autographed collectibles to some of the most expensive items you can imagine, you can quite literally find it all on Amazon.

This list is sure to elicit a “Wow!” or two, and it’s a departure from the products we usually share with you. These aren’t things that we’re recommending anyone purchase, necessarily, since we haven’t tested them, and the majority haven’t been widely reviewed or are just downright outrageous. Plus, most of these are not exactly practical products that can be used in our everyday lives.

But if there is something you would buy, like the puppy tent or the kombucha kit, we recommend taking a few extra precautions before clicking that buy button to ensure you're getting a good product. Check out our guide to finding the best deals for tips on researching products from unfamiliar brands.

So, with that said, get ready to “Oooh,” “Ahhh,” and say, “You know, I actually might need that thing in my life.”

1. A bag of actual gold nuggets

Some people like the smell of roses, others, the scent of fresh rain. For those who don’t do things by the book, you may enjoy a candle that hearkens back to your favorite stories. Each candle in the Paddywax collection has a distinct bouquet inspired by a classic piece of literature, like this one inspired by Mark Twain and scented with tobacco flowers and vanilla. Now that sounds like a real page-turner.
