Indie music star Sam Duckworth, aka Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, has put himself up for sale on eBay.

He's auctioning himself in aid of Oxfam, and will play an hour long gig in the home of the highest bidder. Proceeds will go to help the victims of the recent flooding in Pakistan.

At 2pm today the bids were up to £1120 with five days to go.

The activist has had several run-ins with the British National Party in his support for Love Music Hate Racism.

Duckworth said of the auction:

"A higher than usual monsoon season in Pakistan has caused flooding to ravage this beautiful country. Infrastructure has collapsed, four million people are left homeless, malnourished and in desperate need of aid, the biggest natural disaster in many years. As a result I put a note up on Facebook seeing if anyone would be interested in donating money to the DEC/Oxfam appeal in exchange for an 'in your house' acoustic gig. Response was overwhelming. As a result I have decided to put it up for auction via the Oxfam eBay store".

Adding:

"Happy bidding and I'll see the winning bidder, in their house, really soon :)"
