click hereto see the link I am referring to, which is offering photographs of the sellers feet. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to buy such a thing but there you go.

Ya… that could be fun but you better point out that it is only the picture that is up for sale not the man with the tattoo on his bum. I’m almost sure that would disappoint quite a few. hehe

The cult of the celebrity has reached so far that one fan has actually paid £293 for a jar containing the "air" of Hollywood megastars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

It seems the jar, which went up for auction on eBay, was taken to the celebrity couple's premiere of their new film, Mr and Mrs Smith.

When the world's sexiest stars wandered past, the enterprising jar-holder captured their "air" and sealed it away for future use.

The jar of nothing was bought by memorabilia plunderer, GoldenPalace.com, who justified the purchase as a "perfect example of pop culture phenomenon".

"There is literally nothing in this jar except air, and it has made headlines all over the country and even overseas," said Richard Rowe, the company's chief executive.

"The sheer weirdness and absurdity of this item has made it a marketing success."

£293 and goldenpalace.com splattered across forums and newssites! Absolute bargain! Wish I had have noticed it and had a marketing department that could have drummed up the press releases...

I wish I could come up with something as stupid and pointless to sell on eBay that could make me a fortune.

Get a Jam Jar, Stand on top of the Coppice and catch a whiff of Pure Accrington Air and market it as “A smell of the Old Country”. Some pillock will buy it.

I use to have one of those. It was my friend for many months until one night when I had to take a dive on a very wet runway. The bruise was there for weeks…. plus my screams of pain brought me the attention of the biggest snowdrop I’d ever seen, who proceded to make me scream for the rest of the night by standing on my pet rock…….Buyer beware

Maybe we could market "Essence of Accrington Stanley"!
