After British Prime Minister David Cameron and the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, it was the turn of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to be put on sale on eBay. Sharif is currently facing scrutiny over his family's alleged secret offshore holdings according to the Panama Papers.

The listing describes the Prime Minister as 'Useless Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif', and his condition as "new with defects." It was made by mysterious long-time user 'mastavis', who added that the 'product' was "not in working condition", "had never worked," and was "genetically defected and corrupt."

The viral listing received over 100 bids up to for £66,200 ($92,000) , before being removed from the UK version of the website. It was originally scheduled to expire after five days, on Apr. 20.

The accompanying description was similar to the one used for the sale of Cameron yesterday. "No longer needed. Needs a bit of TLC. No box or instructions. Buyer must collect. Seller not prepared to touch item." While postage was free, there was one condition, that "it may not post to India."

The accompanying note also added that Sharif was "usually found in England, America and Turkey, more than in Pakistan," with "all business, properties and family in London but still wants to be a prime minister in Pakistan."

Sharif has been under political scrutiny ever since three of his children figured in the Panama Papers revelations. While he has denied money laundering allegations, opposition leaders have asked for an independent probe. Sharif is currently in the UK for medical treatment.

The listing appeared on the same day as Cameron's, and nearly one-and-half months after al-Sisi's. While Sharif's price of £66,200 was marginally higher than Cameron's £65,900, it was still lower than the $100,000 fetched by the Egyptian president.
