Miley Cyrus may have missed the 2016 VMAs, but her legacy from the 2014 VMAs lives on.

At the awards show two years ago, Cyrus had a homeless young man named Jesse Helt accept her award with a heartfelt and informative speech on behalf of the millions of homeless youth in America.

Two VMAs later, Helt is reportedly selling Cyrus' Moonman award on eBay, with bidding currently above $10,000.

While we cannot confirm that Helt is really the one who created the eBay post and that it isn't a scam, the listing is posted by "jesshel_42" and it does include a photo of him.

The item description simply reads, "In mint condition. Very rare one of a kind. No fingerprints."

Bidding started at $10,000, and as of Tuesday afternoon three bids had been made.

The Moonman has both Helt and Cyrus' names engraved on it, so technically he owns it and this is kosher. But hopefully Cyrus is cool with it, too.
