On eBay: Banana (rare 100% Australian Grown!!)

I first came across this item in today’s News.com article Man goes bananas over rate.

The seller writes:

This particular banana was purchased on Wednesday 02 August 06 in Sydney, however following the interest rate rise that morning and the subsequent impact on my credit card, I am no longer in a position to financially support the purchase.

As can be seen in the photo(s) the banana is quite a pleasant shade of yellow, with green tinges suggesting that it should survive another week or so.

Currently, the highest bid is $30.
