In case you wanted to start your holiday shopping early…

The notorious Verne Troyer sex tape is now on the market, meaning the diminutive actor (a) found the once missing tape and (b) must have given his permission, as per the terms of a settlement he reached with adult-film distributor SugarDVD.

Better yet, it can be purchased via a website called SexWithMiniMe.com, which is decorated in a 1960s, Spy Who Shagged Me-inspired theme. (Clicking, if you dare, takes you to the "you must be 18" page.)

Privacy doesn't feel so invaded once there's cash involved, does it?

A seemingly very wounded Troyer sued TMZ.com, which posted the first snippets of the X-rated home movie, featuring Troyer and ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider; celeb-porn broker Kevin Blatt; and SugarDVD for $20 million in June.

Shortly after he was granted a temporary injunction preventing further distribution or monetary transactions by third parties, Shrider admitted to a judge that she leaked the tape herself—and TMZ promptly stuck its clip back online.

The warring parties settled up in July, with SugarDVD—which had been touting the eventual release of the explicit video—agreeing that no further peddling of the tape would occur without Troyer's permission.

Troyer's attorneys also said at the time that their client had no plans to sell the tape.

And yet now here he is trying to capitalize on his Mini-Me mojo. There's no word yet on whether this means he'll ease up on the $20 million lawsuit he filed against Shrider in light of her "complete betrayal."
