The Thousand Dollar Corn Flake March 20, 2008

I really admire the people who can pull this sort of stuff off. Read this story about two sisters who are auctioning off a corn flake on eBay. At first, their listing was canceled, because it violated eBay’s food policy. They’ve been able to relist it, though, by selling a coupon for the corn flake instead. The Illinois-shaped (if you say so) corn flake is currently listed at a really crazy $1025 buckaroos!!

Forget making money blogging. I’m going in the corn flake business.

    OMG Michelle this is hilarious. I’m tipping the cornflake box out on the table as I type. I wonder which state would be most profitable?

    Well - looks like it sold for $1350. But one of the people asking questions is saying that it was originally bid to over $200,000 before ebay stopped the original auction. I wonder what sort of people buy these things?
