Outrage At J.R.R. Tolkiens Teeth on eBay
Published October 30th, 2006
A set of false teeth and a briar pipe belonging to Professor J.R.R. Tolkien went up for sale on eBay. The unknown seller was asking $10,000 dollars for the two items, along with documentation proving their authenticity and their key role in the fashioning of the War of Middle Earth.
Tolkien fans have been quick to condemn the sale. ‘This is so utterly monstrous,’ said one member of a Lord of the Rings message board, ‘it could only be the work of the Dark Lord Sauron himself.’
