A half-pint glass that Justin Bieber drank milk from during a visit to an Essex pub has gone up for sale.
The 22-year-old Canadian superstar surprised staff when he turned up for dinner at the Kings Oak Hotel in High Beech, Epping Forest, Essex, on Thursday evening.
After he left, they refused to wash up the glass, which had contained semi-skimmed milk, and instead decided to flog it on eBay.
Bidding on Saturday morning had reached £43.00 after 19 people laid their claim, but keen buyers are able to snap it up straight away if they choose to 'buy it now' for £500.
A £2.80 postage cost must also be paid to get the 'used' glass delivered.
Amy Potter, assistant manager at Kings Oak, said she and the other staff were shocked when Bieber arrived at their pub. The 24 year-old said: "We saw these body guards outside and joked 'imagine if that was Justin Bieber' and then it was him.
"I was thinking 'oh my God, what is he doing in this quiet pub in the middle of nowhere? Luckily I had stayed on a bit longer because he walked in when I was about to go at the end of my shift.
"We get a lot of Towie and local celebs like Danny Dyer but no-one anywhere near as big as Justin Bieber."
Amy said Bieber, who is performing at the O2 on his Purpose tour until Saturday before he heads to Birmingham, decided to leave after spotting someone trying to take his picture.
"It was nice and quiet for him, he was chilled out and having his meal but then he had to move on because if a picture gets on social media you'll have hundreds of kids there and he gave us all a hug," she added.
"All these school kids turned up afterwards and we gave his water bottle to them but we had put his stuff to the side and then said 'let's put it on Ebay for a laugh and see what we can get for it'.
"I could get a nutter who's obsessed with him and buys it but I'm not really bothered, I just did it for a laugh."
Amy put the glass on the online auction site for a minimum bid of £10, which has already been met, as well as the 'buy it now' price of £500.
She said the glass has already been viewed by over 2,000 people. Bidding is due to finish at 1.04pm on Friday.
