Oli, I have to ask: what were you searching for when you came across this, uhm...item? 
I'm not as worried that it's up for sale. I'm more worried that some people think it's worth $16,600, and rising. Check out all the bid retractions and cancelations!
It's not available to view, grrrrrrr. What was it Oli?
This might give you an idea of what was being auctioned:

Same vegetable, but different gender. It had about 200,000 hits and was at $16,600 before it was cancelled. The auction started on 2/3, and looked as if the seller was agressively removing any bids that weren't legitimate. Also, if you search ebay's forum for "2910059963", you will find some other clues.
I'm curious how oli will handle your request.

Lisa, it was a carrot with a naturally-formed, realistic-looking female orifice. I'm with Rick as to wondering who would bid $16K+ for such an item. 
My only defense is that someone emailed me the link...
It has a cult following with loads of people jumping on the band wagon but Ebay has pulled them all as of today!

It's a vegetable fetish thing then. Interesting, indeed. Grin.
I once grew a tomato that developed breasts, it looked like a Pre-Columbian fertility figure or something. Shoulda put it out there on eBay while I had the chance, I could've retired on it maybe.

Geez, I'm a Master Gardener and I've never, ever grown a carrot worth 16K. Guess I need to get a new fertilizer.

I dunno, Rick. He's already made at least $36 from it so far. He's ahead of the game. Barnum was right! 
Steve, That looks like a 'Male' carrot to me.
OH! there are two... excuse me.

How about this lovely purse made of a license plate wrapped around hubcaps with a rubber handle and a bottle cap snap? See it at

What a great thing to thwack a would-be purse snatcher with!
hmm, what a way to get beaten up by a woman, a car plate. 
wybb,
Any ideas on why the price of an auction on a 2.5 million $ jet only goes up $100 or $200 at a time? $100 is .01% of a $1,000,000. That's like increasing the bid on $100 by 1 penny.
If I was willing to place a 2.5 million $ bid, I'd like to think I'd be bold enough to increase it by $1,000 (only .1%), or perhaps $10,000 (still only 1%)!
Boy, talk about nickel and dime proxy bidders. I'm glad I hang out with snipers. They are much more intelligent than proxy bidders.
