A London artist who collected mucus from his nose for two years and displayed the resulting ball of snot at four separate art exhibitions is now ready to part with his prized possession -- to the tune of roughly $20,000.
James Robert Ford's brussels sprout-sized "Bogey Ball" now rests in a glass case on a shelf in his apartment, but he is seeking an art collector to take possession of it.
He wants no less than 10,000 British pounds for the mucus blob, explaining that each booger is a part of his body and it would be impossible for anyone to replicate.
In Ford's words, "It's a physical record of all the different places I have been and people I've met."
So far, the artist has only received offers in the 100-to-500-pound range, but he says his snot is worth much more than that.
His desired price breaks down to roughly 10 pounds per piece of mucus -- or about $18 U.S.
How does Ford feel about parting with his notorious piece of art? He says, "It will be hard to let go, but at the same time, it's hard not to have any money."
He should sell the fucking thing on eBay!

That's just NOT RIGHT.
eBay is right - he'd make a mint!
In my first week of starting this blog I asked people to send in their ideas for selling some nonsense on eBay. Feel free to let me know - I can create anything feasible :) And I have an eBay account!
Perhaps sell a feather and claim it was from "the carrier pigeon that brought the news of the British invasion by sea to the man who light the lanterns that alerted Paul Revere."
Damn typos ----that would be lit not light.
these are all great ideas that should be attempted, especially the cumball but that would require a sex related eBay which is yet, another great idea.
On March 1, 2005, one month from today I say we post up 1 of the items that are mentioned in the posts here.
We can take a vote or I can put the feasible items into a hat :)
STOP TOUCHIN MY eBAY!
I was thinking of selling my job on Ebay, then taking a percentage of the earnings. Serious bidders only!
So possibly post yourself on eBay as a charity container. People could rent you out for a day or week at a time and throw loose change into your mouth...
Hey Domenic!
That sounds like a quality idea as well. What type of job izzit?
It's a TV job - at the BBC no less. Floor Managing (or Being Nice To Presenters).
I reckon I'd let it go for about ten bucks.
thats awesome. i bet it could work (if the person who wins is qualified and lives close enough and can do the job and will cut you in on the % you want.
it is fairly nauseating :D
