A mum is flogging her own leg for £2,000 on eBay - her first-ever prosthetic leg that she's kept for 39 years in a bid to raise funds for a new one. Carly Deegan was born missing part of her right arm and had a limb deformity on her left leg from the hip down, so started wearing a prosthetic leg when she was just nine months old.
The mum-of-two has since had around 50 replacements but only kept this 'special' one given it's a reminder of fond memories with those who 'made her the person she is today', but are sadly no longer around. The 39-year-old is now selling the one-of-a-kind item to raise funds for a new mobility car and prosthetic leg covers that she hopes will improve her mobility and make daily life easier.
Photos and footage show the 1983 tiny brown leather leg, which is around nine inches tall, with lace straps, a plastic base and hole to accommodate her foot that was amputated aged four. It currently resides locked up in a case to prevent it from getting lost or damaged and Carly is now hoping to find a buyer who 'appreciates' the unique item.
