Video: Bidders fight to own Homer Simpson-shaped glue blob on eBay The blob of dried glue, that can be said to bear a vague resemblance to the famous cartoon character, has attracted bids of over £2,000 on the internet auction site. After finding the item whilst clearing out his stationery cupboard, London-based seller Christopher Herbert listed the object online after his girlfriend noticed it shared some of Homer's distinctive features including his large eyes and oval-shaped head. Putting it up for sale more out of fun than expectation, Mr Herbert started the bidding at just 99p. It has since increased to over £2,051 after 10 bids with the auction due to close on Monday. In his listing, Mr Herbert describes the peculiar item as the 'missing piece' in any Simpsons fan's collection and states its origins as "made naturally by an overflowing tube of Uhu glue!" The 36-year-old Londoner, said: "I've never actually sold anything on it [eBay] before, so I thought I'd just stick it on for a bit of a joke to be honest. I didn't think anyone would actually bid for an old bit of dried glue, even one that looks like Homer Simpson. I'm absolutely amazed and very very pleased and happy and wondering what to spend the money on.
