In a very unsurprising move, some people on the internet are trying to cash in on the death of Queen Elizabeth II. One listing on eBay is for a teabag supposedly smuggled out of her residence by an exterminator during a roach infestation in the ‘90s and came with a “Certificate of Authenticity” issued by the “Institute of Excellence in Certificates of Authenticity.”
The tea bag was listed for an eye-popping $12k but was taken down from the auction site by Thursday evening. Other items were listed associated with the late Queen, including two life-sized wax statues for $15,900 each. The “Certificate of Authenticity” for the tea bag says that “the following statements are absolutely true: This is a tea bag.”
