eBay has another weird auction: a cookie was sold for 8,000 pounds

Can you imagine how much foreigners love sweets? According to foreign media reports, someone spent nearly 8,000 pounds on eBay to buy a cookie from Cornwall.

The baked chocolate, which is on Saltash's auction site, sparked a so-called "triangular bidding war" this week. It's really incredible, and even the media complained that people have become too bored because of the lockdown...

The product was named “Raspberry Cookie” and was described as “occasionally touched”, but fortunately it had not been eaten (…) Perhaps out of curiosity, this cookie was actually sold on eBay for nearly $800, and no one questioned whether this price was reasonable.

Although there are always some unexpected auction items on eBay, such as sports cards worth thousands of dollars, the rare Jesse Owens card sold for $380,000 is one of them, but this is a 1937 PSA 10 Jesse Owens Olympic card, which is also very collectible - and cookies will only go bad and moldy if they are left for a long time...

The seller has 100% positive feedback on this product , and can offer collection or economy delivery for this unique baked good for just £1 more, which is a pittance compared to the listing price. In addition to this product, the seller also sells cases for iPad and Xbox One controllers in separate and completely unrelated listings on eBay.

Surprisingly, despite the high price, this seemingly ordinary cookie has received more than 25 bids. As of March 8, the price of this cookie was only 99 pence. However, just a few days ago, its price rose to 78,476 pounds. There were three bidders who bid wildly, driving the price of this cookie to such a high price. However, there is no clear sign that this cookie is different from other cookies or has a special origin story.

The auction had lasted for a week and finally came to an end two days ago - the asking price was 7,941.29 pounds. Although it is certain that it is definitely not worth that much money, fortunately it still looks very delicious.
