JD Salinger's Toilet For Sale on Ebay
JD Salinger fans, rejoice. Or cringe in horror, more likely. For a mere $1 million, you can buy the late author's toilet on eBay, reports the Raleigh News and Observer reports. The commode was used by Salinger at his home in Cornish, NH, where he spent more than 50 years living just as privately as he could. We're sure he'd be thrilled with this auction.


Despite the hefty price tag, memorabilia dealer Rick Kohl says he's open to other offers. "I bet it's worth $100,000," he says. "Come on, it's JD Salinger's throne! We're talking Catcher in the Rye here!" Click here to make him an offer on eBay.

someone posts something like this that proves me wrong. :crazy: Salinger was right to avoid these kooks at all cost.

2. Sorry, can't afford it.
How much for a sheet of his toilet paper?

3. Does it have an image of Jesus on it? If so, we can talk.
Otherwise, I'm saving up my money to bid on the kumquat that looks like a potato making love to a carrot that resembles John Boner with three noses carrying an 8-iron.
