They're at it again on eBay, wonder what someone will sell
next. Maybe goofball should start an auction.
San Francisco (AP) - Bids for an unborn child reached into
six figures Mondy on the online auction house eBay, less than a
week after a human kidney received million-dollar offers
there.
Comapany officials removed listings for three babies on the
site and believe them all to be hoaxes, said Steve Westly,
eBay's marketing sice president. The two earlier kidney sales
were also thought to be shams.
While selling humans or their organs is illegal, eBay
customers appeared interested in both. Bids for one of the
children reached $109,100, while one of two listed kidneys had
fetched a $5.7 million offer.
One of the child listings, posted Sunday, offered a boy due
to be born later this month to two students at the University
of Chicago law school.
Company officials declined to release names of the purported
baby sellers and would not say whether law-enforcement
officials are investigating.
Earlier this year, the San Jose, Calif. based eBay banned
the sale of guns and ammunition aftger people tried selling a
rocket launcher and other weapons.
