''I can't be sure whether it's a genuine bid or not.''

A giant crisp has been sold on eBay for £712.

The three inch Hula Hoop was being offered on the web market place for just £1 before bids shot up to £140 overnight with the final bid flying it just before the auction closed.

The crisp belongs to 31-year-old Stuart Hampton, an artist and musician from Manchester, north west England, who is struggling to believe that whopping bid is genuine, reports the Mirror newspaper.

He said: ''I can't be sure whether it's a genuine bid or not.''
