Put aside the controversy about who was the fifth Beatle.

It was me. Teeheeheehee.

You could also be the fifth member of the Beatles if you want to spend $5 at the greatest website I’ve ever found — www.fiverr.com.

The question posed on the site is, “What are you willing to do for $5?” Sellers have found the neatest things to offer including:

•I will send a genuine Royal Wedding 2011 postcard from the UK to anywhere in the world for $5.

•I will write a great, personalized haiku for $5.

•I will complete a Rubik’s Cube in 90 seconds, while saying whatever you want me to say, for $5.

If you need a gag gift, this is the place to go. Have you ever been to a 40th birthday bash and your gift duplicates other presents? Most party stores carry similar stuff, including Over the Hill T-shirts, canes with horns and black balloons.

If you take the time to shop at fiverr, you can get the person something unique, such as:

•I will phone up anyone you want and sing “Happy Birthday” to them, Marilyn Monroe style, for $5.

•I will tell you what the weather was like when you were born for $5.

•I will photograph your message in the sand at the Jersey Shore for $5.

•I will make a personalized crossword puzzle based on the topic or personality you want with any background for $5.

•I will sing “Happy Birthday” in Malay (the language of Malaysia), with subtitles, to the person of your choice for $5.

•I will photo shop you into any retro game of your choice for $5.

When I found the offer to put my face with the Beatles, I was smitten. It’s pretty easy to buy an item at fiverr. I had to register with my email and a password, click on a “buy” button, and the seller got back to me the same day via email.

I was prompted to attach my picture and return it to the seller. There is no way to personally contact the seller. My request was all done by email.

Was I surprised the next day to find two versions of the Beatles picture.

It made me giggle.

Folks may say I should beware of shopping online. The beauty of fiverr is that the most you are out, if you get skunked, is that five dollar bill.

One of my editors is quite the silly guy. When I discovered fiverr, I thought about getting his name on a piece of paper, held up in front of the world’s tallest building in Dubai. I knew he would get a kick out of that. It’s no longer offered on the website, but buyers can get advice about where to stay for cheap in Dubai, advice on local customs, or someone will mail you a postcard from Dubai.

I’m not sure what the postcard would cost to mail from Dubai, but there are no shipping charges on fiverr. What folks advertise is what you get.

There are about 10 to 20 listings per page, and more than 2,500 pages online. I found the fiverr “search” box works very well to narrow your preferred items. Here are some more ideas for sale:

•I will hold up a sign, write anything on it and take beautiful photos of it by any landmark in Paris for $5.

•I will give you the recipe to my winning peanut butter pie for $5.

•I will improve your web site with 10 tips for $5.

•I will get your Twitter account 100 new followers in one day for $5.

•I will write your child a custom princess, prince or fantasy fairytale story for $5.

If a person is more interested in a service, rather than a product, try these:

•I will help you pick a unique name for your pet for $5.

•I will track down your old lost life insurance company for $5.

•I will ask my two very devout and religious aunts to say a prayer for you for $5.

Listeners can “audition” prospective singers who want to write a song for you or send a message to someone. Some of them post videos and you can listen to their voices. I have friends who would think it was totally awesome to have some random person call them and sing.

There are a couple of fiverr items I am still considering buying:

•I will retouch your photo and make you look beautiful for $5.

And who couldn’t use this?

•I will listen to your side of the story for $5.
