When we mentioned former Toronto mayor Rob Ford was selling his crack-smoking NFL tie on eBay, the current bid was $81.
So obviously, we should get a cut of the deal.
According to Don Peat of the Toronto Sun, Ford’s tie was sold for $16,100 in the online auction.
The mid-1990s era NFL logo tie became famous when Ford wore it to the press conference in which he admitted smoking crack, which he said happened “probably in one of my drunken stupors.”
“I’m surprised someone would pay that much for a tie,” Ford said last week, before the auction ended.
Ford said he was donating 10 percent of the proceeds to the hospitals where he’s undergoing cancer treatments.
He also said he was going to be auctioning off more stuff, saying “we have some stuff coming down the pipe, pardon the pun.”
Maybe the next item will the chicken wing bones he was chowing down on at a Bills game.
