Flushing away money on a piece of Leafs history

The Leafs former dressing room toilet may see more action than any other part of the franchise this season. Up for auction with keepsakes including a 1967 Stanley Cup banner and a penalty box bench, the team’s old porcelain throne is the most bid-upon item in an online NHL clearance.

Steadily climbing from a starting bid of US$250, the toilet has attracted enough attention to double its going rate in one day and start a bidding war. With “cheezy1” at four bids, “Akiberg” at two, and little less than a month left to bid, the item is well on track to beat the $2,640 price tag it went for in 2000. As of press time, the toilet was going for $1,200.
