Casey Anthony was acquitted of murder and other major charges in the death of her 2-year-old, Caylee.
How much would you pay to look like the real Casey Anthony for Halloween?
How about nearly $1 million?
A latex rubber mask bearing a striking resemblance to Anthony drew a winning bid Wednesday night of $999,900.
The mask, offered for sale from Los Angeles, received 105 total bids after it was listed Sunday at a starting price of $25.
In the item's description, the seller – using the screen name "prophunter" – said the mask was "sculpted to precision for a parody video by enigmatic pop artist/sculptor Torro," and only nine masks were actually produced.

The description also says the "Tot Mom" latex rubber mask "fits most heads sizes comfortably."
Prophunter adds, "I bet Nancy Grace would love one of these."
The product pitch also calls the mask "Your chance to scare the $#!@ out of everyone and win every costume contest with this amazing Tot Mom latex rubber mask. Possibly the MOST frightening mask on the planet."
The bid history shows 16 bids were retracted, mostly because the prospective buyers said they entered the wrong amount.
It may be a few days before prophunter receives payment and the mask is shipped.
According to eBay's purchaser policy, "If a buyer doesn't pay within four days, sellers can open an unpaid item case in the Resolution Center. If the buyer still doesn't pay or reach some other agreement with the seller, eBay may record the unpaid item on the buyer's account."
Bids grew steadily, but spiked on a couple of occasions.
One bidder went from $2,151 to $22,000, while another jumped from $40,400 to $700,000.
