A Guinea pig suit of armor has been put up for sale on Ebay. The owner listed the items on the auction site after their guinea pig Lucky died.
The current bid for the Armour is up to U.S. $445.00. This is what the seller has to say:
"This auction is a charity auction for hand-made guinea pig scale-mail. (You've read that correctly)
Is your pet guinea pig tired of wandering around the house unarmored and vulnerable? Do they get picked on by other guinea pigs? Has your guinea pig ever wanted to go with you to a Renaissance Faire but had nothing to wear?
Fear not! A solution is here!
This hand-made scale-mail and tiny steel helmet will keep you guinea pig protected and secure in all situations. The scale-mail is made from polished steel scales and steel rings. It was painstakingly "woven" by me over several weeks in an effort to better prepare my guinea pig Lucky for the dangers of the modern world. The helmet was purchased at a Renaissance Faire later as it was the perfect finishing touch.
Lucky passed away this weekend, and no longer requires his noble suit of armor. In his honor and memory, any money from this auction (after Ebay fees) will go to the Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue in Virginia. Lucky was adopted from the organization, and they're a fantastic group who do all they can to find, foster and adopt (to others) Guinea Pigs in the northern Virginia area. You'll see them on this auction as a 100% donation - it's not a hollow promise :)

Lucky
mostly wore his armor to begrudgingly pose for photos - once on top of a
remote-control jetski. Don't worry - he never rode the thing in the
water... I don't think he would have had the balance.

I hope they get a million. :)
