Online auction for Virgin Mary sandwich cancelled
16/11/2004 - 15:05:28The people at eBay were no believers in this cheesy miracle - half of a 10-year-old grilled cheese sandwich whose owner claimed it bore the image of the Virgin Mary.
Diana Duyser put the sandwich up for sale last week, drawing bids as high as £11,800 (€16,859) before eBay pulled the item on Sunday night.
The page was viewed nearly 100,000 times before being taken down.
An e-mail Duyser received from eBay said the sandwich broke its policy, which “does not allow listings that are intended as jokes".
