Interesting, though he may get more than he planned for... he claims to have other offers, but if someone bids on ebay it is a binding contract

Worth seeing how it turns out though *L*

Can't believe he's got his full resume up on open view - he'll be getting all kinds of spam and unwanted calls on his mobile!

Still, currently bit at $500/week, he's doing ok for a newbie

Would this be considered selling a human over e-bay? Or would it be considered a form of prostitution?
