Homer Simpson glue blob £2,051 on eBay

Bidders on the auction site eBay have gone crazy over a blob of dried glue resembling The Simpsons character Homer. Christopher Herbert from London discovered the blob whilst cleaning out his stationery cupboard, his girlfriend pointed out the resemblance to Homer quoting his oval shaped head and large eyes. Putting it up for sale out of fun rather than expectation, Mr Herbert started the bidding at 99p.

Since then the item has increased to £2,051 with 10 bids, due to end Monday the price is expected to rise still. In his listing Mr Herbert described the odd item as the 'missing piece' in any Simpson's fan's collection and states its origins as "made naturally by an overflowing tube of Uhu glue,"


The 36-year-old Londoner, said: "I've never actually sold anything on it (eBay) before, so I thought I'd just stick it on for a bit of a joke to be honest. I didn't think anyone would actually bid for an old bit of dried glue, even one that looks like Homer Simpson.


Whatever happens in the next few days, one thing is for certain, the price of this will certainly not be sticking.
