It was but Ebay "investigated" and decided to bring it back. Before it was pulled, it was at 22,000! :eek:

I hate to border on sacrelige -- well, maybe in this case it isn't -- but does this come with chips and soda?

what happens if it starts to form mold and stuff? you can't tell what the picture will be by then.

I was listening to the MJ morning show on the way to work this morning and they called the lady selling it. It was a funny conversation, they said the face looked more like Lisa Marie P. :p

The sandwich is 10 years old and no mold so far...assuming you don't open it to the elements (it is sealed in a container) it probably won't mold.

I think it is along the line of looking for figures in the clouds...you see what you want.

I can see a positive/negative of what might be taken to be a face. Is it female-perhaps....virgin mary-probably not....unless THAT is what you want to see.

Of course. The soda was the ACTUAL Pepsi Jesus was drinking at the last meal (he really didn't like wine), and you also get a bag of Lay's potato chips that have a form of each apostle on each chip.

cmon.. I know they have to be pre-approved, but $100 mil? The bidder has the be joking, right?

Reminds me of the time this guy sold his fiance's wedding dress with a whole history and it went for $800mil or something (but people weren't being serious)

Which is about how many chips you get in a bag these days...

What the HELL??


Yeah I can make women's faces in my grilled cheese... it's called PHOTOSHOP!

XOMichelle 11-17-2004 03:29 PM

That's Nasty!!! ewwww a used grilled cheese sandwich.

bluefish81 11-17-2004 11:03 PM

I cannot believe people are actually bidding on a used sandwich with a picture in it. When I was little, my mom used to make pancakes that looked like Mickey Mouse's head, perhaps those should be on Ebay. :D People will bid on anything.

'Virgin Mary' grilled cheese sells for $28,000 on eBay
By Susannah Bryan | South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Posted November 23, 2004


The grilled cheese sandwich that launched a thousand and more eBay hits was sold to the highest bidder Monday for $28,000.

The sandwich, said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, was first offered for sale in early November on the Internet auction site by Dania Beach resident Diana Duyser.

The sandwich was made 10 years ago, Duyser claims, and might have wound up eaten had she not noticed the famous image peering back.

Duyser placed the sandwich in a plastic box and kept it on a shelf -- until now.

The new owner of the sandwich, Antigua-based online casino GoldenPalace.com, promises to use the sandwich to raise money for charity.

Bidding on the Internet auction house closed Monday night. The casino also posted a statement confirming the sale on its Web site.

Photos posted on eBay show what can be viewed as a woman's face emblazoned on the triangular half-sandwich, a bite taken out of one end.

In a statement, GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe said casino officials hope the sandwich raises greenbacks for charity and "people's spirits as well."

The new owners of the sandwich didn't want to risk it getting lost in the mail, so casino officials flew to South Florida on Monday to make arrangements for a sandwich handover.

Duyser, 52, thought eBay would be the best place to show off the sandwich, made on plain white bread with American cheese, no butter, no oil.

The sandwich, according to Duyser, has never sprouted a spore of mold.

"I would like all people to know that I do believe that this is the Virgin Mary Mother of God," Duyser said in the casino's statement.
