    Default Someone is selling a bag of air from Kobe's last game

    Man, it takes all kinds.

    http://thebiglead.com/2016/04/18/kob...g-of-air-ebay/

    Someone put a “bag of air” purportedly from Kobe Bryant’s final game on eBay for $1. It was all fun and games until someone bid $16,000 for the item after it went viral. Again, this was an empty Ziplock bag.

    eBay mercifully took the item down, saving one idiot the embarrassment of paying $16,000 for air.

    This is actually the perfect Bryant story. His are the only group of fans sycophantic enough to drive up the price this high on the off-chance they could capture some of his aura by breathing in the air.

    Yeah that is crazy.

    but I mean... they do sell Banff Air as well (not to mention NHL team ice/water) so it is not unexpected. Pretty SMRT!

    I think it's a pretty stupid thing to buy but if you're selling and there's a buyer out there... genius!

    Wow, that made me LOL at work! What has the world come to! Whether this was actual air from that game or not, if you can afford to dish out $16,000, there is far better memorabilia out there!!!

    It made me laugh. But, they sell mound dirt for pitchers first games. Same idea in a way. Or they have water from the last floods at iconic arenas (Maple Leaf Gardens, or the Oilers old one). It’s just funny that this is in a Ziploc bag.

    It started out at 1Cent too. So people keep bidding on it, it’s not like they started the bidding at 10Gs.

    Hey, if pet rocks can make millions, then so too can Ziploc bags full of air.

    Wish I had of thought of it myself. I don't suppose the air captured from my bathroom after I have "used the facility" would fetch much, would it? Care to start the bidding at a dollar?

    It's probably Kobe bidding on it now that his story was cut short with the playoffs starting....
