Times may be tough all over this holiday season, but that didn’t stop an anonymous bidder from digging deep into their pockets to place the winning bid of $5,300 on Scarlett Johansson’s used tissue!
Last week, a sniffly and sneezy ScarJo appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The actress explained to Jay that she had likely caught the bad cold from her Spirit co-star Samuel L. Jackson. She told Leno that for this reason, her cold had some "value," and after the host offered her a tissue for a bit of nose-blowing, it was decided that the snotty bit of flimsy paper should be auctioned off on eBay, with all proceeds from the auction to benefit USA Harvest.

With only hours to go before the auction closed, the price appearaed to have plateaued at $4050.00, but then as the final bidding frenzy began, that number increased over $1,200 in the last minute!
According to eBay, there were 83 bids placed during the course of the auction, which began at $.99. All bidders’ names were kept anonymous and anyone wishing to place an offer had to be pre-approved, so as to keep the bidding honest.
