Last Crumbs Cupcake Sells for $255 on eBay

Without warning, sugar addicts everywhere found themselves in a tough spot as Crumbs closed its doors on every chain store after more than 10 years.

The sudden shut down apparently led to a mad scramble to buy the remaining cupcakes. It now appears, however, that not everyone grabbing up the Crumbs cupcakes did so out of their own sweet tooth.

Many of the remaining cupcakes purchased from the Crumbs inventory have reappeared on eBay, where they are going for some unbelievably steep prices.

As reported by uproxx.com, a recent posting on eBay eventually sold for $255. According to the web site, the eBay listing for the Crumbs cupcakes, read:

“Bid on this still-delicious soon-to-be relic, and you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren that you devoured the last Crumbs cupcake. This cupcake was purchased at the Crumbs Bake Shop on 42nd Street. Little did Likeable Media know it would be the last “Birthday Cupcake” we ever purchased. Now we’d like to pass on the joy to you! We are going to freeze it to make sure it doesn’t go stale. But best bet is to use the BUY IT NOW option.”
