Miley Cyrus is just becoming the talk of the town lately, but the one time she does something completely normal, everyone has to make a big deal out of it. Which is why she posted a plain old Nikon N80 35mm camera on eBay and it's currently up to $13,300 $80,100 $92,000 with plenty of time left to go.
She posted the N80 on eBay, but nobody knew it was her until she posted a quick tweet about it. She quickly deleted the tweet but not before thousands of fans flocked to the auction in an attempt to get a piece of Miley history. Prior to that, it was up to a mere $26, which is about half of what you can grab it for on Amazon. I checked out the details and made sure it didn't spew out glitter, diamonds or mini twerking Miley dolls, but if you're up for paying a ridiculous amount of money for something not worth much, there's still six days left in the auction.
So here's the deal. Do you have an old camera that most likely is worth about 35-50 bucks? Send it over to Miley! Or at least tweet it to her. I mean, I've got 13k worth of student loans I'd be happy to have my first film camera pay off if she wouldn't mind fronting the eBay fees. But in reality, you'll probably be better off with it on your shelf.
UPDATE: Selling price has bid up to over $80,000:

Considering how she used that foam finger I wouldnt be surprised if this camera has seen some "action".. hehe
I'm going to bid 30k and never pay ...MuHahaha!
That won't twerk.
Ohh Ya?? I just brought the bid up to over 70k!!!!
WTF is wrong with people Lmfao!!
You didn't get it...
Only 16 feedback transactions? Price seems a little high for that eBay rating :-)
it's over 9000!!
dbz!
Whoever bought the 1DS and headphones from her needs to resell them right now on eBay to take advantage of the interest generated so far...
Went from $75k to $80k in the last 5 minutes, I think this article might need an update ( hourly ).
That was thanks to me... :)
You probably shouldn't brag about fraud.
How is it fraud that I brought the bid up to 80K
And besides, It's still not fraud.. Its ebay, I can change my mind if I don't feel like getting it after the fact.
Your bid is a legally binding contract between you and the seller.
Uhh nooo its not... I use E-bay All the time!!
Check out the Terms of Ebay... You can cancel a transaction at anytime, for any reason... All that happens it you might get a bad review
Say I found one for cheaper...I'm not going to spend more for the same thing ....Bam I don't have to pay for the second item
And besides, I stated I brought the bit to 80K....Never said I was the highest bidder!!

Under what conditions can I retract a bid?
Whether you can retract a bid depends on the circumstances and timing of the bid. You can retract a bid for the following reasons:
You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount due to a typographical error. For example, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95. If this happens, you need to reenter the correct bid amount right away. Changing your mind does not qualify as accidentally entering a wrong bid amount.
The item's description changed significantly after you entered your last bid. For example, the seller updated details about the item's features or condition.
You can't reach the seller by telephone or email.
"
Running up a bid that you have no intention of acting on, is in violation. I think you are confusing the fact that the SELLER can cancel a bid.
Whatever you want to believe....,
I've done it many times before...Even did it with a car, Why because I found the same thing for cheaper
And its pure hearsay...Who say's I didn't really want to buy it and then changed my mind??
You're can have a change of heart.... Or crap your car just broke down now you down have the extra cash to spend, what then??
Then you could still be sued. That's like.
Saying that you artificially brought the bid up with no intention of purchasing is *not* hearsay. It's confessing to it.
You sound like a quality dude.
Thank you I am :)
That what an Auction is all about dude.....Its a fucking game, clearly you've never played it
And a person can say whatever they feel like... Freedom of speech, It doesn't mean what I say has to be true, unless i'm under oath in a courthouse
It's not hearsay if you're admitting to it here. If you think you can just change your mind, then you don't understand how eBay works.
Really, because I've done it
No, you can't. If you're the winning bidder and you refuse to pay, the seller and eBay can sue you. smh
Sue me for what, a change of heart, Or unforeseen circumstances?
Well I just copied this whole post and forwarded it to Ebay...so maybe you'll lose your account for being a tool.
Awww...Like I cant create another one
And Like they care, the just made a nice little profit off of me getting the bid raised as high as it has
I'm a tool, because I just made her a butt load of cash off a cheap camera...
You're right, I must be a horrible person....Time to hang myself! Lmfao
that escalated quickly...
Hahah Right...Fucking people with no sense of humor!
I wish someone would block this guy. He is not adding anything constructive to the conversation.
I think your sweet fedora and amazing pinstripe beard is cutting off common sense to your brain, Tony.

You got something up your fucking ass, Why do none of you have a sense of humor?
I honestly feel sorry for you, Its sad
I mean What the hell did I do so wrong.... Make someone a lot of cash off something basically worthless...And enjoy myself at the same time??
I would say, what you did wrong was to argue with a bunch of people on the internet.
It's up to $80k now.
this needs an intervention. I'm from Singapore and there was a Hello Kitty craze, people sucked up all the stocks of the dolls to resell them on FleaBay. A group started bidding mad amounts (S$60k) for the dolls to boycott their sales. Of course, no one paid.
moderators might want to delete some comments on this article...
I wonder how much the foam finger will sell for on Ebay?
The only way that camera would be worth $91,000 (current bid) is if it had some exposed film in the camera with FFN photos of Miley from her "Wrecking Ball" video
You buy when the stocks are slow and sell high. I'm doubting this brand (Miley's fame) will reach any higher than it is right now.
...though looking at the comments it doesn't appear that people are bidding with any serious intent of owning.
I am blaming jimmy kimmel on this.....
fools...
Who is Miley Cyrus?
