We've seen some unusual items for sale on ebay in the past, so when I heard that Bibi's leg cast was up for sale on an auction site, I fully expected it to be found on ebay. The seller, though, listed the cast on Webidz instead.
No, it is not the State of Israel selling the pieces of the cast as memorabilia, perhaps with the emblem of the State of Israel embedded somewhere on the cast. It is just some person who claims that his mother works as a nurse in the hospital. He says he asked his mother to save the pieces of the cast after they would be removed, and his mother did. He is selling it, calling it a "poetic justice auction" because Bibi has taken so much money from him and from people like him and his mom these past years and this is a way of taking some of it back.
He promises this is the actual cast, but I have no idea if there is a way to verify that.
Anyways, it looks like he is going to be stuck with it, as so far nobody has submitted even a single bid. Either nobody is interested in bidding on pieces of a cast that have no way to be verified that they were removed form the leg of Benjamin Netanyahu, or else maybe the starting bid at $100,000 is simply too high and nobody thinks the cast is worth that much.
You can bid on the supposed remnants of Netanyahu's cast here..

Even more interesting, someone is selling the car that they used to drive R' Shach in (http://tzimukym.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/blog-post_12.html). I bet they get a lot more offers.
