Beretta/Sims/Startraksphoto.com What would you pay for a bag of air from a Kanye West concert?
No, this is not a joke. People have begun to sell on eBay what they claim are sealed bags of air collected at shows from the hip-hop star's 2013 and 2014 Yeezus Tour. One listing, which was posted by a person in Pennsylvania earlier this week and which has since been removed, had the bidding price up to $60,100, with 90 bids made. Shipping? Just $3.58.
"Held bag open and sealed air in," the description read.
West has not commented. But wife Kim Kardashian was quite amused.
"WOW he can sell anything! Lol," she tweeted.
Obviously, it would be very difficult to prove that people are actually selling—and bidding on—real air from West's concerts. But at least 15 such auctions have since been listed this week.
Another high-price auction of a West show air bag remains online as of Saturday morning, with a bid of $10,100 and five bids so far.
"Front row air!!!" the description reads.

Another is selling a bag of air from a VIP section of a Yeezus Tour show at Barclay's Center in New York City, for a starting bid of 99 cents and with free shipping, and adds, "I have a bunch of these from different shows of all the artists I love.
