A steep price for sand.
One eager eBay seller is looking to cash in following Tom Brady’s second, and most likely final, retirement announcement on Wednesday.
The Florida beach sand where Brady ended his iconic 23-year NFL career was listed for sale on eBay and is listed for at least $99K with 124 bids as of Saturday morning.
“Bid for 1 of 2 samples taken from Tom Brady’s exact retirement spot on Feb. 1, 2023,” the listing reads.
According to the Miami Herald, Brady made his announcement from Surfside Beach in Miami — near where he lived with his then-wife Gisele Bündchen.
The bidding war began Thursday when the user listed the sand at $677 in honor of Brady’s total career touchdowns. The auction is set to end on Feb. 12 at 2:43 p.m. (EST).
Over the past few days, the bidding skyrocketed from its original price to $15K before reaching nearly $100k on Saturday morning.

Looks to me like a lesson in getting out while you’re still good not after
What not to do. But what do I know?
I’m selling tsunami water for $100.00 per 2 oz. bottle. Contact me if interested.
After the haircut he took re: FTX I hope Brady is getting a piece of this.
Are there any dopey takers? LOL
He was paid for FTX with equity, which is now zero.
He already had $250 million and now has an announcing contract for $375 million.
He’s the most accomplished QB of all time, and never was in any legal trouble.
I don’t understand the FR hate for Brady.
I have some of the air that Brady once breathed on sell for $9999
? I think the guy is the goat.
No, I have the REAL sand, and I’m asking only $49,999.
Bitcoin only. PM me when interested.
It’s going fast!
Totally a terrible example as a human, that Brady…
I for one don’t hate Brady. The drama with which he left is remarkable Ugly.
Hilarious.
What, more specifically, do you mean?
My bad, I read it as part of the FR trash Brady posts.
There’s been numerous threads where FReepers were excited about him losing money.
FreeRepublic was once a place of refuge for logical thinkers, but lately I’ve noticed that many of the posters are driven by emotion. I’m baffled, to be honest ...
The bidders have more dollars than sense.
$100k bid for real? Cheaper to fly there and get your own sand. Or just get any sand and say it’s from there. Proof that too many stupid people still have too much money.
Nah, although I’ve drifted away from pro football over the past several decades I enjoyed the heck out of watching Brady disappoint the world of sports journalism over and over by winning the big ones.
I also stopped watching, except two games, since the kneeling started.
I was at the Super Bowl in Jax when “my” Eagles lost to Brady…
It was a good game.
