Fancy a multi-coloured jacket with pockets unopened since 2011? This Westbeach Maverick snow jacket's pockets are zipped up, contents unknown by Trade Me poster Mrpow. "Only worn a handful of occasions, this jacket did a great job of making me easily seen on the mountain," he writes. "Judging by the attached lift pass, I last wore this on my birthday, so my memory of endowing the pockets is hazy at best. Of course, what ended up in them depends on my state when I last wore it. Was I a broke student? Were the milky bars on me? Or was my pet mouse Andrew chilling out in his favourite pocket at the time? I will never know what's inside those pockets, but you could - just don't hate me if it's Andrew's carcass." Bidding started at $70 but the jacket had not been bid on by 5.30pm yesterday.

Police not amused by man's deckchair-helium balloon stunt
A Canadian man found himself in trouble with police after he attached 150 helium balloons to a lawn chair and floated off into the skies over Calgary city. The promotional stunt, which was aimed at publicising a cleaning company, went wrong and Daniel Boria, 26, had to jump from his makeshift aircraft, injuring his ankles. "He had no control device on the balloons and was really just travelling by the grace of the wind," Derek Mojaher, his business partner, said. "It was a little too windy and he went a little too high and the stunt wasn't responsible." Mr Boria, who was carrying a GPS and oxygen tank, said his flight was "the most fun thing" he had ever done. "It was incredibly peaceful up there," he said. The stunt was months in the making and cost $12,000 for the helium alone. Police were called after a member of the public spotted Mr Boria in the chair flying over the city centre. Officers said Mr Boria "jumped from the chair and opened a parachute attached to his back". He missed his landing zone and sustained minor injuries to his ankles. He was arrested and charged with mischief causing danger to life before being released. The stunt is similar to a scene in the film Danny Deckchair, in which a man becomes a national sensation when he lifts off in his deckchair tied to balloons.
