CHESAPEAKE, Va., March 17 (UPI) -- Bidding for a Frosted Flake in the shape of Illinois has reached $1,175 on eBay.

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.

The item reportedly is larger than typical Frosted Flakes, with a length of 2 inches and a width of 1 3/8 inches.

"This is a great opportunity to own a frosted corn flake shaped like the great state of Illinois!" the seller wrote.
