Yes, someone paid $$$ for an old piece of stale bread. People caught on to the idea and started using "toast" as an art canvas, with all kinds of images burned into them, magically started popping up almost overnight on eBay, and most sold for nearly nothing. That original piece of toast is likely fully decomposed by now. Stupid buyers...

Hardly counts. That was Golden Palace dot com who bought it just for the advertising of buying it.
