The Word ‘The’ Is Being Sold On eBay

WEIRD NEWS: A torn piece of paper with the word ‘The’ is being sold on eBay – and bids are so far tipping £50 – reports the Mirror

Described as the ideal accessory for everything from potted plants to a piano, this well-used word is “ideal for any situation”.

There are still five days to go before bidding on the unusual item ends – and eager buyers are busy placing bids tipping $93 dollars, or just over £50.

Handy pictures showcasing the piece of paper show it fitting perfectly into the palm of your hand, looking tempting next to a computer, and completing a pretty arrangement of sea shells.

“It’s the quintessential addition to any pot plant,” the seller from Sydney, Australia says.

“And if your piano needs decorating, this word is likely to create a poor-to-mediocre vibe for onlookers, when they see it placed on your instrument.

“Can be used to wipe the fog from a snorkel and is timeless when placed in a puppy and rabbit scenario. It’s a popular word for the whole family.”

Bidding for the word began at 99 cents.

The seller warned: “No other items from the photos will be included with this word. Don’t waste my time with any ridiculous questions.”
