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.

bags under her eyes, ears like dumbo!
i love it
MONEY > than anything else..
Attorney's name and fame and resulting in more popularity and more MONEY
Media – more attention – more airtime value – more MONEY
Family & friends & relatives.. and other who come across ...= connect to media ===> MONEY
Government == Impose laws on these ...= Costs time & Money ===> yes. No action..
HUMAN in 21st Century.. = MONEY seekers.
Yes.
Nothing else.
MAKE MONEY ON EVERYTHING.
Guess who fuels this attention.
PEOPLE.
IGNORE .... MEDIA. = all this will stop.
that is a TRIBUTE you will pay to the dead.
STOP PAYING ANY ATTENTION !!!!.
This has nothing to do with Ms Anthony's guilt or innocence, last time I checked we still live in a country that is based on free enterprise. As long as it is legal to do, people have the right to capitalize on it, regardless if you think it is bad taste or not or if you agree or not. This story should not surprise anyone here, just look at OJ Simpson back in the days, they had Halloween mask out after he was acquitted of murdering his wife. Only in America!
Welcome to your new world Casey Anthony. You will forever be hated. No matter how much money you make when you finally do an interview. You are forever a prisoner. Enjoy your freedom. hahahahah!
That truly has to be the most ugly thing in the world.
..its not fair...lets make and sell oh e-bay masks of Susan Smith, Andrea Yates, Julie Powers Schenecker, China Arnold, Lashanda Armstrong..what about Marybeth Tinning ..she should profiting at least 9 times more than Anthony....congratulation Casey Antony you true American hero..
This mask isnt work the money uset to make it... there are kids that needed that kind of money (St Jude's for a start).. this is going way too far!!
exactly
What idiot paid for it, I have an investment opportunity for them. SEND ME THE MONEY.
PLEASE REMOVE THIS FROM THE WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why? just because you don't like what you see?
I agree with having it removed!.....tasteless.
Remove it because it is a fake story. Nobody paid $1 million for the mask. They drove the price that high, but nobody has actually paid that money for the mask
I doubt the winning bidder will actually pay for it !!
its Bat-Boy from Weekly World News!
actually, I'm pretty sure it's Natasha (from Rocky and Bullwinkle)..Boris is still in hiding.
bAHAHAHA
If you go to the million dollar ebay post, then you can read that the person isn't really buying it. The "buyer" jnco6970 tells the seller: "You shuold be ashamed of yourself for profiting of the death of a child." How much more watered down can the news reports get? It takes 20 seconds to debunk this trash.
You know you REALLY suck and the world HATES you when you have been reduced to a goofy looking Halloween mask! May she rot where it is really hot 🙂
That anyone would bid on this, shows a depraved mind. That they would bid over a buck shows a VERY depraved mind. The REAL Casey Anthony is a gargoyle.
That they would bid $1 million shows a mind that is making a little practical joke.
