CAMDEN TOWN, U.K. - A piece of dried glue just sold on eBay for 152,200 pounds (around $239,000). It is nto known if that is the actual price that will be paid for the strange and unique item that looks a bit like Homer Simpson.
Owner Chris Herbert says he found the glob of glue sticking out of an old glue bottle. He says he is blown away by the fact that people are willing to pay for the glue glob.
"That's just bizarre really, I mean it's quite surreal," Herbert said. "I can't quite believe someone actually decided that they will pay two-thousand pounds for a piece of glue. So I'm just amazed, so I'm very, very please, I'm happy. I don't know what I will spend the money on, but yes amazing it's been very surreal.
On his eBay page, Herbert says he is entertaining several offers, including 500 camels and all the parsnips he can eat, a piece of toast that looks like Elvis and a Porsche.
