eBay users sell Grand Final turf, Dustin Martin’s rolled cigaretteHerald Sun
October 10, 2017 A SINGLE cigarette supposedly rolled by Dustin Martin is for sale for more than a deck of smokes, while other bizarre MCG Grand Final-related pieces are being flogged online.
A Champion Ruby cigarette claimed to be rolled by Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin after the Grand Final can be bought for $50 on eBay with a $17.55 postage fee.
“In mint condition. Genuine buyers only,” the cheeky ad reads.

A piece of MCG Grand Final turf is also for sale on eBay to avid footy fans for just a lobster.
In the bizarre and often wacky world of eBay, one long-time user from Dandenong has put a piece of the allegedly used turf for sale on the website with bids beginning from $20.17.
While the turf is yet to attract any bids, there’s another five days left for punters to grab this patch of grass that was possibly even trodden on by Norm Smith medallist Dustin Martin and Richmond’s premiership heroes.

The post says it is “authentic grand final day turf”, but it’s a matter of taking the seller’s word.
A MCC spokesman said it could not be verified as MCG turf and did “not look like our product”.
“Anyone using public auction sites should be very wary of buying items that have not been authenticated,” he said.
A spokesman for HG Sports Turf, which supplies the pitch, was unable to verify if the turf was from the MCG.

But it’s that old saying, buyer beware.
