A bloody piece of gauze that Gonzaga star Adam Morrison allegedly used to stop a nosebleed in Monday's game against Pepperdine is up for sale on the eBay auction site.

"The stalkerazzi have reached an all-time low," coach Mark Few said Wednesday.

The gauze went up for sale Tuesday for $1 and already has bids of more than $18. Its condition was listed as "used."

The original auction apparently was pulled by Ebay, and the seller has listed a blood-free gauze pad in its place:

This unused gauze pad was for Adam Morrison.  During the final 4 minutes of the first half of the NCAA college basketball game between Gonzaga and Pepperdine on Monday, February 20, 2006, Adam Morrison used one to clear a bloody nose as he continued to play. This was picked up on the floor at the game,Thanks.

(per ebay rules this item has no blood on it)
