Tana Umanga (player in New Zealand's "All Blacks" rugby team) smacked someone with this hand bag, and the broken cell phone is included.

Current bid: $21,869.00

Hahahahaha, oh god. The current bid is legit, too. I don't know ANYONE who would pay this much, but it is very, very sad.

"Handbag was used by Tana Umaga to hit Chris Masoe at the Jolly Poacher in Christchurch after the Super 14 final. Cellphone that was broken in this bar incident is also included."

Oh well, have a laugh. I haven't seen an auction THIS insane, even at eBay.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I disagree. The grilled cheese one was worse.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wonder what type of chemical compounds and such the winning bidder ( I think some church, go figure) will use to try to preserve it's state. With all the mold build up over time, Jesus' face would be quite distorted, I'd say.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How about the hotel maid who sold Russell Crowe's hair clippings she found in the sink?

That's sick....

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The current bid is at $22,800 now. It is amazing how some people throw away money like that.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Reminds me of The Today Show and how they display some of the weirdest or wackiest Ebay auctions they could find. "Potatoe chip in the shape of a cowboy boot, $24,000!"

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Fans bid for handbag that made rugby player cry
Fri Jun 2, 2006 10:09am ET

SYDNEY (Reuters) - New Zealand rugby fans are bidding thousands of dollars for the chance to own the handbag that reduced a burly All Blacks player to tears.

In one of the more bizarre off-field sporting incidents, former New Zealand captain Tana Umaga tangled with Hurricanes club team mate Chris Masoe in a nightclub after losing the prestigious Super 14 tournament final last Saturday.

Masoe, who has played two tests for New Zealand, tripped over a man's feet in the Jolly Poacher bar in Christchurch early last Sunday and then hit the unidentified man in retaliation.

Umaga, one of New Zealand's greatest players who played 74 tests for the All Blacks, stepped in to break up the scuffle, picking up a woman's handbag and hitting Masoe twice over the head.

Rugby players are among the toughest in sport, regularly ignoring the pain of dislocations, head cuts and other aches and sprains but being hit with a handbag was too much for a tired and emotional Masoe.

The hefty 1.83 m, 106 kg (233 lb) Samoan-born forward dissolved into tears, New Zealand media reported this week.

Adding to the indignity, rugby officials fined him NZ$3,000 ($1,890) after an inquiry into the incident but let Umaga off because he was trying to calm things down.

The unidentified woman who owns the small black handbag has put it up for sale, as well as a broken cell phone that was inside it.

The Trade Me Web site (www.trademe.co.nz) had received 71 bids for the handbag and phone by Friday, the latest offering NZ$5,500.

"Is there any guarantee hitting someone with this will make them cry?" one potential bidder asked on the Web site.

"Does it come with any makeup included? Do you have any matching belts or shoes?" asked another.

FELIPE NO
