if those bids are serious, there are some crazy people on this planet, in before i take similar pictures of penalty spot's of other grounds and then dig my own grass up and sell it on ebay.

seriously who buys this crap?

bargin..... lol

I really don't think those bids are genuine.

Nobody is going to pay this much money for this ever.

K1LLSW1TCH · 1 Jun 2011 at 17:00

Rooney is probably the bidder.

Some religious artefacts are deemed to be priceless.

Also in terms of worthless things on paper being valued so high then you only have to look at art.

I couldn't tell if the bids are genuine, but I imagine there are enough affluent United supporters who would pay that much.

Hard to say if they are genuine, quite possibly from bitter Man City/Liverpool fans.

On 01-Jun-11 at 18:14:51 BST, seller added the following information:
WoW... almost £1m, Please be aware that this is a genuine auction, all bids that are deemed false have, and are being reported to, and actioned by Ebay. It is unfortunate that this auction has had people bidding with the intention of disrupting the auction. It could well be the case that this auction is cancelled and restarted in a different format, if you are a genuine bidder, good luck, if you are not, please retract your bid.

be interesting to see how this ends

The prior bids slowly stepped up through the various six-figure marks steadily enough and all of these were different bidders with various levels of good feedback... some of this may just be genuine.

I seen this earlier and couldnt believe it. I read about the person getting it in the paper and that he was going to be selling it as well. Cant believe how much it has got to if the bid is legit

I was given permisson to lift the turf by the groundsman to raise funds for my local football team.

That is going to be one rich team (IIRC it was for his sunday league team when it was in the papers)

Somnambulist · 2 Jun 2011 at 17:49

Fair play to the guy. If people are willing to throw that kind of money at a bit of grass with some paint on it...

Shamikebab · 2 Jun 2011 at 17:55

160k now...

Psycho Sonny · 2 Jun 2011 at 19:06

just think of the ebay and paypal fee's :eek:

loltim · 8 Jun 2011 at 18:07

how would they prove it wasn't a bit of grass from his back garden?

mmj_uk · 8 Jun 2011 at 20:29

So it sold at just over £6k eventually? it's a shame there weren't a few strands of Rooney's hair on it won't be able to get any in a few years.

cheets64 · 9 Jun 2011 at 00:01

Told you nearly every bid was fake.
