That was the question a mystery seller was clearly trying to find the answer to earlier this week when they put David Cameron up on eBay.

The item's condition is listed as "For parts or not working".

"Used Prime Minister," reads the description. "No longer needed. Needs a bit of TLC. No box or instructions. Buyer must collect. Seller not prepared to touch item."

As the listing was taken down we may never how much Cameron would have gone for, but he was already pushing a solid £65,900 ($93,811) at the time the screengrab was taken. And he still had five days left to go.
