For Sale Life And Other Weirdest Finds on eBay
There are millions of items on eBay. In fact, you can sell just about anything you want. You can also buy things you don’t even imagine ever existed. Now, there just some people out there who can’t help but put on auction the most extreme stuffs. Mind you, they are not even things:
A BABY. It’s hard to think why parents have such an idea to sell their seven month old baby online. The couple from Memmingen, South Germany has contested that the whole thing is only a joke after the baby has been crying so loud.
The post reads, “Baby – Pick up in Person Only, Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has become too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a pram.”
The starting bid price is only one Euro or $1.58. Luckily, no one has attempted to bid. Two hours after, the local police have removed the advertisement. As for the mother, she has been advised to consult a shrink. The baby has also been taken away.
A WIFE. A jealous husband from the UK puts his wife on auction after he discovered her illicit affair with a coworker. Paul Osborn has placed an ad on eBay, saying that he will offer his “cheating, lying, adulterous slag of a wife” to anybody. The starting price is £0.01 pound, but it has closed at £500,100.
Although Sharon denies the affair, Paul has already confirmed the rumor. Too bad for the wife, she’s already been kicked out from her own home. Where else she’d be? Of course, she will be spending time with the highest bidder. Wheeww! Some people just have fetish for unfaithful wives.
A SOUL. Adam Burtle, an American university student has offered his soul for sale online in 2001. He’s too bored with his life that’s why he did it. The bid has hit $US 400.00 before eBay authority has closed it down.
A LIFE. Although there are already people who have successfully sold their lives on the Internet, it’s now the turn of some guy from Perth, Australia. Ian Usher, 44, puts his life for sale after his partner has left him. According to him, it is indeed the best way to move on.
The bidding started on June 22, 2008 with a goal to raise $US 500,000 to start a new life. Presently, the ongoing price is $US 373,230.33. You can still bid on eBay if you want.
