Man Sells Dead Fleas On Ebay For Thousands of dollars
An man is said to make several thousand dollars this weekend selling dead fleas on eBay.
The 10- day auction ends at midnight on Saturday , with the current bid at $4,000 . Steve White says the items up for sale are known as “Pulgas Vestidas , ” or “Dressed Fleas ,” a lost Mexican folk art known to
have been produced between 1880 and 1926, White says .

Pulgas Vestidas are pairs of fleas usually decorated as bride and groom or farmer and wife. The details
are impressive, given each flea is smaller than a grain of rice.

“In 1926, they stop being made … nobody knows why , ” He said. “The curious part is nobody knows exactly how they ’re made or what material they ’re made with. ”

One theory has the items being made by nuns at a monastery in Mexico that burnt down in 1926, White says.
