WA Emu Export wall bidding tops $19,000 in one day
Bidding for an Emu Export wall build in Katanning has surpassed $10,000 one day after being put up for auction.
Katanning’s young Rotarians put the 532-can wall of empty bush chooks, made for a bogan quiz night, on eBay on Thursday afternoon.
As of Saturday morning, the top bid is $19,900. Only time will tell whether or not the bidding wall is authentic or a prank.
Speaking to West Regional News on Friday morning, Rotaract Katanning spokeswoman said the club thought it may go for about $100.
“It’s got a lot of character to it, and it is the limited edition cans as well,” she said.
“Honestly, myself, I thought it would get $50, and some of the committee members thought maybe $100.”
Half proceeds of the sale will go to Dolly’s Dream, a charity which aims to stop bullying and raise awareness of depression.
Tops from the cans were also donated to help make prosthetic limbs.
Bidding ends on December 6.
