An Australian man could be set to make a fortune - by selling the word "the" written on a piece of paper.
The eBay auction seems to have captured the public's imagination by attracting more than 40 bids taking the price to more than £1,200.
And the auction still has another six days to run on the Australian version of the online auction website.
The seller, who calls himself Sweatyman, writes: "I am selling the word 'The'.
"Handwritten with blue ballpoint pen, on a torn piece of Reflex A4 paper, this versatile word can be used in literally thousands of sentences.
"For example: 'The dogs have escaped again', 'I will buy some meat from The local deli', 'What's The time?'
"Ideal for any situation, this fun-loving item fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, wallet, or purse."
Sweatyman also claims the word: "Looks great sitting on a MacBook Pro, and emits a mysterious beauty when leaning against sea shells...
"Can be used to wipe the fog from a snorkel and is timeless when placed in a puppy and bunny rabbit scenario. It's a popular word for the whole family."
