French Fry Is Sold for $200 on eBay


Ebay auction



LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) - A man has sold what he billed as the world's largest french fry for more than $200 on the Internet auction-house eBay.
Simon Holland found the 6 3/4-inch fry during a meal at a Wisconsin Rapids Culver's on June 24. Instead of eating the spud, he immediately froze it and put it up for auction on eBay.
The winning bid - $202.50 from a bidder known only as ``Culver's Fan'' - was announced Wednesday afternoon. Restaurant owners Greg Giese and Brad Prohl celebrated by giving patrons complimentary pieces of custard cake.
``I could probably write the book, 'How to Sell a French Fry on eBay,''' Holland said, laughing.


The fry's claim as the world's largest has not gone undisputed.


Two restaurant employees at Chips of Wisconsin Rapids found one fry last week that was about 8 inches. On June 29, a second french fry from Wisconsin Rapids that's allegedly longer than 7 inches also went on sale on eBay.

Either registered for eBay just to buy it, or registered to screw up the bids. Either way, that guy is screwed. He has to pay $200 for a french fry, or get in trouble with eBay.

The restaurant might want to put it on display.
Would be a good conversation piece.

The person who won has 0 feedback. He or she isn't going to pay $200.00 for that fry. LOL!!!!

You know what would be AWESOME? If morons like that guy who won the auction was forced into paying via being sent off to collections for non-payment. That would turn ebay around in no time! No more non-paying bidders!!!!!!!!!!!!
