The sledgehammer used to force P dealers out of Ngaruawahia has failed to sell in a TradeMe auction.
Tribal Huk leader Jamie Pink claims he used the implement of destruction to drive 14 dealers from the small town - bashing down doors to intimidate the methamphetamine sellers into fleeing.
Mr Pink apparently donated the tool to charity as the seller, ma0ri_gurl, says "ALL PROCEEDS from this auction goes to 'KAI FOR THE FUTURE FOUNDATION'" - to feed hungry children.

The hammer is "Signed By Jaime himself and it comes with a Gold and Diamond Lords Ring that he was wearing during his campaign", she says.
"Jaime Pink does not have anything to do with this auction apart from give the sledge hammer to auction off for the kids"
Earlier in October, Mr Pink gave meth dealers a 24-hour-deadline to leave the Waikato town before he said he would take the law into his own hands.
"No more P in Nga. Come on bros, be louder over there or do you like it? Say it bros! Louder!" Mr Pink told a community meeting.

However, the starting price of $5200 for the gardening tool may have put people off.
"The starting price might be a bit high bro. Put it up for $1 reserve and you'll get a good price for it," said TradeMe user kiwaza.
User mackiemade agreed, argueing "why not change amount starting bid over 5k is a tad high after all the bad publicy around this man's story. Try make it put as a reserve instead?"

Despite this, many commenters supported the auction's purpose.
"If I had the money to bid I so would, you guys are amazing, too bad not all gangs are like you then there would be no hungry children in the country," said isis84.
"Good on you boys.... What Bad Publicity...? i only heard good things... you guys are doing the job the governments gang should be doing.. and they get payed for doing it ... come to my town when you finished in yours ... Thank so much," evanscb applauded.
