STILLWATER, N.J. - A New Jersey man who tried to capitalize on the runaway bride story is very unhappy.
The man (Perry Lonzell) carved an image of jittery bride Jennifer Wilbanks on a piece of toast and auctioned it on e-Bay.
The opening bid was a dollar-eleven, but as the story drew attention, so did the toast until that piece of bread commanded 15-thousand-400 dollars.
The Newark Star-Ledger says a California man who submitted the winning bid has reneged.
The seller is considering legal action. He not only is stuck with the toast, he says he also owes some bread: 500 dollars in fees to e-Bay.
