Celebrity Hair

eBay Powerseller lou728 describes himself as the world's leading seller of historical human hair.

His auctions sell hair belonging to Lincoln, Kennedy, Nelson, Elvis and John Lennon. His feedback is almost uniformly good. "Hair was too small for price" seems to be the only complaint.

The benefits of historical hair are clear:
Your friends, associates and relatives will be awe-struck upon viewing this rare and beautiful hair artifact. Weight per weight hair is considered the most valuable commodity in the world. Hair can last forever and be handed down limitlessly to future generations where autographs fade through the years especially if exposed to sun light.

The Maine Antique Digest offers more details on hair collecting, which according to lou728 "isn't weird at all".

I'm more worried about the Jurassic Park style possibilities. Couldn't you blend the DNA with some recombinant frog DNA and create a Dead President's theme park?
