I remember an auction on eBay once for a CLOD of DIRT off someones boot.  He went to some concert in the UK that  was supposed to be a UK version of Woodstock.  He got some mud stuck in his boots from the field where it was held.  So he auctioned it on ebay.  IIRC, he got about 500 pounds for it which was around $800 at the time.

Get insured shipping and then have the flake crunched in the mail.

Won't Visa insure your purchase automatically? 

I've heard of the "credit crunch" but this is ridiculous.

I think only serial bidders would be interested in these type of auctions...
