Given the rising price of corn, maybe this was good investment

A corn flake was sold on Ebay for $1,350. After Ebay extracted their listing fee, gallery insertion fee, photo fee, and final value fee; and then Pay Pay charged their transfer fee, the seller received about 35 cents. Shipping the darn thing put the sellers in the hole.

Looking at the picture, the corn flake doesn't look like Illinois. It's not flat enough. It looks more like Greenland.

Of course we can do better than that in Wisconsin. We have a pothole shaped like our state. I bet it costs more than $1,350 to repair.
