Who the hell's selling Mournes granite on ebay!

£5 for a bit of stone - someone's either a genius or an idiot. I considered doing this - finding more interesting minerals in the Mournes, boxing them nicely and flogging them to Americans but never did anything about it.

I did sell a Northern Bank tenner for £14 once on Ebay, but bits of rock's a great idea.  I wonder what the going rate is for genuine Irish peat from the Antrim hills.
