Latex Casey Anthony mask fetches almost $1 million on eBay
A big spender on eBay shelled out almost $1 million to get inside Casey Anthony's head.
A Los Angeles eBay user called "prophunter" wound up with six rubber renderings of Anthony's face that had been used in a parody video and put one of them up for auction on eBay. That first mask garnered a winning bid of $999,900 Wednesday. It beat out 104 other bids that started at $25 on Monday.
In the description field for the item, the seller billed it as "possibly the most frightening mask on the planet."
The mask's expression is, well, expressionless, capturing the image that became a national obsession over the course of Anthony's almost six-week trial for the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Anthony was acquitted on July 5, drawing the vocal ire of crowds outside the courthouse, social media users and television personalities nationwide.
On HLN's Showbiz News Tonight on Wednesday, Popeater.com columnist Rob Shuter pronounced then-active bidding "tasteless, but it is capitalism."
For comparison's sake, the most expensive set of Charlton Heston's stone tablets from "The Ten Commandments" fetched $87,000 at Christie's in 1995, which would be a little more than $120,000 today.

???? Who would bid that high for that stupid thing???
Some one with no brains.....................what we have come to ugggggggggggggggggggggg
Who would bid that high? A 12 year old kid who sneaked onto his parents Ebay account and bid this thing up. My guess is that the bidding account will not pay and the bidder will receive a "failed to pay" strike on their account. In the meantime the seller gets noteriety over a halloween mask that probably cost $500 to constuct.
I will bet $1,000,001 that they don't pay that amount...
I bet the trillions of $$ for the debt ceiling this story proves false
but the person that has this kind of cash to throw away on something like this can't afford to pay more taxes-right?
OMG! EXACTLY! well put.
They earned the money; Who are you to tell them what they should spend it on? I'd rather spend my money on novelties then put it in the pocket of the stupid morons (DEM and Rep.) that we call "Politicians."
What the hell is up with those Vulcan ears?
AGREE
As vain as Casey is, it must be eating her up seeing this heinous looking mask.....LMFAO!!!!
LIke it or not, she was found NOT GUILTY (and please spare me the "not guilty" is not the same as "being innocent" . it does not matter. she gets the same rights as someone who is viewed as innocent). DO not get me wrong, I think she did it or she knows who did it if she hired someone to do the job. Bottom line, Casey can sale, talk, etc and it is nothng no one can do. And yes, if you call her a Murderer, do you know she can sue you and can highly win? She was not found guilty and calling her a murderer is now considered to be "slander" if you call her a murderer. Like it or not, that is how it is now.
Dude, we realize everything you're saying...it doesn't mean we can't gripe about it!!!! The majority of us want her living in squalor...which is the least that she deserves.
She is a murderer..............so bring it on sister
What dumb story. Try reporting on actual happenings, like when someone actually pays for one of these abominations.
You're reading it too aren't you?
I must admit I looked at the auction yesterday and found his full description entertaining. I think he offered free shipping.
Looks kind of like her but someone made the mask look especially creepy. Most guys probably think she's rather pretty.
I thought they looked like a death mask.
Must, make, C.A., mask, to make millions..........
This is why you Americans are in financial Trouble. Really?? Someone Spent one million dollars for a Mask of a Baby Killer. Honestly think about it……. This is a sad world we live in.
read what your are typing....understand it fully.....ONE person buys this mask for an absurd amount of money so that means ALL Americans do this????? Boy, I think you're missing a chromosome (i.e.retarded).
No one will actually pay for a mask unless it's at the 99c Store. No one would pay a million for the real thing stuffed on a wall!
I guess you do not get the point I was making...Your country is about to go backrupt and someone bid a million dollars for a mask of a mother that did something with her child that no longer lives. you are right not all americans but 14 trillion in debt..... I am guessing a few spending some cash they dont have. I understand your anger and name calling but rember the greed and waste has ruined the number one nation in the world. I hope your country can recover with out to much hardship
great for halloween lol
