Dedicated Nebraska Cornhuskers fans are paying $3,000 each for these authentic, game-used bathroom pieces as unique collectibles. Several of the troughs have already been purchased by enthusiastic supporters looking to own a literal piece of stadium history. Each piece weighs roughly 300 pounds (about 136 kg) and dates back to the venue’s original construction.

The university has confirmed that all purchased fixtures will be thoroughly sanitized before being delivered to the buyers.
