'Unique' twigs go on eBay - and attract bids
Twigs not really your thing? How about some handwritten Fresh Prince of Bel Air lyrics, or a voucher with nothing specified on it but a 'five-year guarantee'?

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Apparently you literally can sell anything on eBay, if the six twigs currently up for auction are anything to go by.
Ebay user Wackychop’s listing offers six twigs, all with a “unique personality”, from De Beauvoir Square in London, with a starting price of 99p.
The twigs appear to be in high demand with bids currently at over £25 and rising. Wackychop is also charging the winning bidder £3.20 for postage and packaging.
Hackney-based seller Babak Ganjei also has some other tongue-in-cheek listings, offering Fresh Prince of Bel Air lyrics (bids currently at £10.70), handwritten by him, and a voucher for a "a five year guarantee" (also handwritten).
The listing explains: “Well on offer for you I have a set of six travel size twigs, each with a unique personality so you never have to come unstuck.
“It should be noted these twigs come from De Beauvoir Square, a part of London where a room in a shared house costs a minimum of £600 a month excluding bills, and a sandwich starts at £4.20, thus making these premium twigs and not everyday rubbish.”
The auction ends on 3 April for anyone desperate to get their hands on "travel size" twigs from an upmarket area of London.
