Tenacious_Peaches Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 LONDON (Reuters) - A dollop of mud scooped up during last weekend's Glastonbury music festival has sold for 490 pounds on the Internet auction site Ebay. The sale should recoup the cost of the admission ticket, and more than compensate for the heavy rain. "Stored in a plastic bag this should arrive nice and damp with the early Glastonbury dew still soaking into it," reads the seller's description. The mud was collected from the front of the main Pyramid stage where Oasis, Morrissey and Paul McCartney performed. Bidding began at 99 pence. The Glastonbury festival, which dates back to 1970, has been criticised for becoming over-commercialised in recent years as mobile-phone charging points replace hippy campfires. But the mud's owner has promised to donate half the final auction price to charity. Festival fans can still snap up mud, in some cases with an accompanying rubber Wellington boot, for a few pence on the Web site. eBay auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 ebay has some of the stupidist crap, that guy seems like a scammer, "Buy now for $100" I'd like to see if he even has proof of it actually being from Glastonbury. But this is still not as bad as that guy who was selling "poop in a jar" on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I just read at the bottom of this http://www.thesuperficial.com/ that somebody is selling a piece of gum that Britney Spears chewed on for $460.96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggsUK Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Even if the turf was from Glastonbury or the gum masticated by Ms Spears, it shouldn't have a monetary value. It is this kind of rubbish that makes poorer countries see the West in its true light, surely. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Haha! I took a look at that, it's obviously a scam, just read his buyer's feedback & he has a Positive Feedback of: 77.8%. Something just doesn't sound right. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
