You think you’ve seen weird auctions on eBay? Cars fallen into ditches? Paperclips being swapped for houses?
Now I present to you le grand fromage of eBay auctions. Apparently, someone really would be interested in selling an oversized cornflake.
At the time of writing, there’s around 4 hours left to bid for this wonderfully unique item, currently priced at the attractive starting bid of 99p. The seller advises us that the cornflake is in ‘mint condition’ and ‘undamaged’. Considering that he wants £2 for postage and packaging, one assumes that the probability it remains undamaged by the time it reaches its (currently non-existent) buyer is very low.
I especially like how it’s been listed as “Art”. And how is that art? It’s no more arty than a crack in the floor, or a light switching on and off. Oh, hang on. The Tate Modern seems to think that’s art.
Perhaps they’ll buy it for a million pounds. Or £1.01.
