Ever reminisce about your uni days when you’d dominate the party scene with wizard staffs made from empty beer cans?
Well, you can forget about slumming it in the magical realm and become beer-drinking royalty instead.
In news that will delight those keen to crush their rump into some cool aluminum, a secondhand store in Perth, Australia is selling a throne made from empty cans of Emu Export beer.
To raise funds for charity, the Western Australian shop is holding an auction for the stately seat. Currently, the highest bid sits at a tidy $400 (£212).
‘After receiving an overwhelming amount of interest online, we’ve decided the iconic “Bush Chook Throne” will go to auction, with all proceeds being donated to the Cancer Council Western Australia,’ Second Hand Rose announced on their Facebook page.
We suspect the bids will increase over the next week, but it’s interesting to note that 400 cans were used to build the throne.
The throne was originally built by a group of 10 mates who were trying to cheer up their friend who had been diagnosed with cancer.
And people are obviously loving it.
‘Put wheels in it and turn it into a scooter for dad,’ commented one user.
‘This would have come in handy for Bogan Bingo,’ wrote another.
It goes without saying that this striking piece of decor would be the ultimate status symbol for a family barbeque, or perhaps your local pub.
The shop is also gifting a carton of Emu Export beer to one thirsty Facebook user. So if you happen to be in the area, simply hit ‘Share’ on the Facebook post to be in the running.
Those interested in becoming Lord of the Tinnies and bidding on the mighty throne can phone the store on 9409 9010, or pop a message through their Facebook page.
Prospective buyers can enter bids right up until 12.00pm, Australian Western Standard Time, on Friday, October 25.
