The front door of Ozzy Osbourne's childhood home in Birmingham is up for sale on eBay because the current owner is fed up with fans defacing it. Ali Mubarrat, told reporters that his home is something of a pilgrimage destination for Black Sabbath fans, and some of them scratch messages into his front door. He explains:
"I need to change it on the wife's orders. But I don't know what to do with it. Maybe someone who is a great fan, I could pass it on to them, or I might put it on eBay and auction it and give the money to charity." Presumably by replacing the door he is just providing Ozzy fans with a fresh sheet on which to scratch new messages, though if he makes any decent money on the eBay auction perhaps he won't mind fans starting work on a second future collector's item.
