One user sold a teabag allegedly used by Queen Elizabeth II herself for the vast sum of US$12,000. The Lipton tea bag was allegedly smuggled out of Windsor Castle by the special exterminator who was called in to help deal with a roach infestation during the 1990s. Along with the artefact came an authenticity certificate from the 'Institute of Excellence in Certificates of Authenticity', which stated that it was, in fact, 'a teabag'.
