Guinea pig armor suit for sale on eBay

eBay seller Mightys0x hast posted his recently deceased Guinea pig Lucky's armored suit for sale last week, with an initial bid of $5. So far, the price has gotten up to over $20,000, with another 3 days to go.

This hand-made scale-mail and tiny steel helmet will keep you guinea pig protected and secure in all situations. The scale-mail is made from polished steel scales and steel rings. It was painstakingly "woven" by me over several weeks in an effort to better prepare my guinea pig Lucky for the dangers of the modern world. The helmet was purchased at a Renaissance Faire later as it was the perfect finishing touch.

Lucky mostly wore his armor to begrudgingly pose for photos - once on top of a remote-control jetski. Don't worry - he never rode the thing in the water... I don't think he would have had the balance.

According to the product description, all proceeds will go to Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue, a non-profit organization from Virginia who initially adopted Lucky, the armor's original wearer.
