Within 10 minutes, the PewDiePie Sonic drawing reached £10,000 on eBay. That bid was then quickly dwarfed by a £1 million bid, which in turn was topped by a staggering £10 million bid. Shortly after the £10 million bid was made, PewDiePie removed the listing from eBay. PewDiePie hasn’t offered a reason why he removed the eBay listing for his Sonic drawing, but it’s likely because the joke simply got out of hand.
Of course, it’s possible that the £10 million bid was placed as a joke as well, but then again, it seems as though the PewDiePie Sonic drawing could actually become a weird collector’s item. PewDiePie is the second-most subscribed channel on YouTube, and he has been named one of the most influential people in the world. It’s not out of the question that someone would be willing to pay an absurd amount of money to get a PewDiePie drawing with the hopes that it will be worth even more money down the line.
At the time of this writing, PewDiePie still has yet to comment on his Sonic drawing or why exactly he removed it from eBay. It’s possible that he will explain more in an upcoming video if he doesn’t elaborate on social media, so fans should stay tuned.
Meanwhile, stunts like this should go a long way in keeping PewDiePie in the YouTube spotlight. Even though T-Series has beaten PewDiePie and he has called for the end of the subscribe to PewDiePie meme, there’s still some hope that he could become the first YouTube channel to hit 100 million subscribers. If the media attention surrounding the PewDiePie Sonic drawing translates into a boost of subscribers, perhaps the YouTuber could very well be inspired to make more bizarre drawings to sell on eBay.
