[Internet] Framed 4chan post sold for almost $91,000

[The Lovin Spoon]

Just hours before the end of the potato salad Kickstarter last night, an eBay auction purporting to sell a framed screenshot from the message board 4chan finished with a winning bid of $90,900. The screenshot is, fittingly, of a post questioning the value of art.

"Art used to be something to cherish," the original anonymous 4chan poster wrote on Wednesday. "Now literally anything could be art. This post is art."

Bidding for "Artwork by Anonymous" started at $500 and, 36 hours later, had surpassed $10,000. A combination of human and automatic bids steadily pushed the price higher and higher on Friday to nearly $100,000.
