The former crack-addicted mayor of Toronto has a new gig.
Councillor Rob Ford, who was stripped from power in November 2013 following a high-profile battle with crack-cocaine, is selling off "a whole bunch of collectibles" on eBay. Ford said 10% of the proceeds will go to Liposarcoma research and care facilities. Ford was diagnosed with pleomorphic liposarcoma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer in abdominal fat cells, in September 2014.
I have a whole bunch of collectibles from over the years, and I've decided to put them to some good. (1/3)— Councillor Rob Ford (@TorontoRobFord) February 13, 2015
The first item up for auction is a map of the Toronto area port lands that Ford said is from 1990. It "will come with an signed certificate of authenticity from Rob Ford himself," according to the auction description. It's currently listed at $100 with six days left to bid.
The catch? This auction is open to locals only.
"Due to the size of this item, it is available for local pickup only in downtown Toronto," the listing states. In trumpeting its exclusivity, the description adds: "There is only one of these in existence."
Happy bidding!
