Half Eaten Banana Sells For $4,232
<snip>

A BANANA half eaten by a British television presenter has been sold for 1,650 pounds ($4232) in an Internet auction.

Kate Garraway, a presenter for the British breakfast television show GMTV, thought of the "quirky" idea during a television discussion about eccentric objects sold on www.ebay.co.uk.

Some 30,000 people reportedly made bids to buy the banana between July 4 and 11.

Jaime Falarczyk, who bought item on Sunday, said that he will put the banana, or whatever is left of it, on display in front of his office "to generate a bit more fun".
