A torn piece of paper with the word 'The' is being sold on the online marketplace eBay - and bids are so far tipping $98.
The Australian-based seller described the on sale item 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 $98 with 4 days left til the end of the auction.
The auction description reads:
I am selling the word "The".
Handwritten with blue ballpoint pen, on a torn piece of Reflex A4 paper, this versatile word can be used in literally thousands of sentences. For example:
"The dogs have escaped again"
"I will buy some meat from The local deli"
"What's The time?"
Ideal for any situation, this fun-loving item fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, wallet, or purse.
Looks great sitting on a MacBook Pro, and emits a mysterious beauty when leaning against sea shells. It's the quintessential addition to any pot plant. 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 & bunny rabbit scenario. It's a popular word for the whole family.
Bidding will begin at 0.99 cents. And no other items from the photos will be included with this word. Don't waste my time with any ridiculous questions.
Free postage included.
