When The Air From A Kanye West Concert Is Worth More Than A Mansion In Nigeria

A bag of air taken from the Yeezus tour has attracted more than 90 bids on eBay with days left of the sale
As ticket touts doing brisk business outside of Kanye West’s surprise show in London on Tuesday will testify, the rapper’s popularity can prove profitable.

However, one eBay seller has taken this to the next level: a bag of air from an unspecified show from West’s Yeezus tour is currently selling for $60,100 (£39,725).
The bag was listed with a starting price of $5.00 on Sunday, and, with three days to go, is in the middle of a bidding war between a handful of users.
The seller has not had to work hard to convince fans to part with their money. Instead, Pennsylvanian eBay user stangeedon1 has simply explained that this is “Kanye West Yeezus Tour Air For Sale”, and was acquired after he “Held bag open and sealed air in.” He has supplied no evidence to show which concert he was in attendance at, reports The Telegraph.
The lucky buyer will receive a zipped bag with the words “air from Kanye show” written on it.
Bidders keen to own some West tour air may be able to purchase a similar product from another eBay seller. One Texan eBay user is selling air from the same tour for $5.00 on a Buy It Now option, another has a starting price of $0.99.
Ebay user mkiuk1 from California is running quite the business, with individual bags numbered 1 to 10 for collectors at a starting price of $0.99. An optimistic seller from New Jersey is offering a bag at a Buy It Now price of $4,000, but bidders can take a punt on a starting auction price of $14.99.
What nobody is keen to bid on, however, is a bagged “fart” from Kanye West, which has the reasonable starting price of just $5.00.
