The McNugget didn’t always cost $99,897.00. It was originally listed for $0.99 before going viral due to its “unmistakable correlation with the actual character, even including an odd bump on the back that would represent the backpack,” eBay seller polizna told CNET. The BTS connection doesn’t hurt either. If you want to become the 184th bidder (!) on the nugget, you better do so quickly: the auction ends in 11 hours, as of publishing.
“I had figured it would get somewhere around $50 but nothing like this,” polizna said. “There are some people out there who *would* pay some absurd price for a McDonald’s chicken nugget, but I don’t think the final bidder will actually go through with the purchase as there are lots of people who bid on things like this for the ‘memes.’”
In case you wonder what the game is…
