As of Monday afternoon, the state-shaped cereal flake had received 46 bids, with the top bid $1,175, well above the top bid of $10.49 Friday.
The Chesapeake, Va., resident who is selling is giving free shipping to anywhere in Illinois, the Rockford (Ill.) Register-Star reported.
"It's uncanny resemblance is completely natural! This is a must-have item for any Illinois lover, collector of food look-alikes, or anyone who desires a unique conversation item!" the seller wrote on the flake's eBay page.
