ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: It's amazing what political junkies can find on Ebay.

A seller named "dixpea" placed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's half-eaten breakfast from his Monday visit to the Gilder Diner in Scranton, Pennsylvania up for auction on Ebay this week, with a suggested bid of over $10,000.

"This is Barak (sic) Hussein Obama's breakfast," the seller wrote, "winner gets his used diner plate with his used silverware and an uneaten portion of his waffle and sausage link."

A note from the seller on ebay explained a waitress at the diner wrapped Obama's uneaten breakfast with plastic wrap after he left the diner and gave it to "a loyal customer."

"This is 100% authentic," the seller writes. "His DNA is on the silverware."

:crazy:

11. Was the grail from which Obama drank saved as well?

God, has this society gotten nutty! What's next? Hillary's face on a pancake? Barack's face mysteriously appearing on the side of a building?

From the Age of Reason to the Dark Ages in little more than 200 years.

12. Well, there is a food shortage... n/t

[El Supremo]

13. The money would go to Hillary's campaign. Item taken down.

Update: The sale has been taken down for unknown reasons. It could be that the publicity was a bit much; according to notes on the page, the seller was criticized both for using Obama's middle name and for saying proceeds would go only to Clinton. Or it could be a technicality. eBay has some strict rules about selling food.

(snip)

Oh, and did I mention proceeds apparently go to Hillary Clinton? From the seller's description:

GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC, HIS DNA IS ON THE SILVERWARE. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!! HAHA
