Get Over Yourself, Dude
Minnesota teenager Nathan Carlson put himself up for sale on eBay as a prom date. The auction, which started out at $30, had generated a high bid of $260 before eBay pulled it. Carlson added a comment that he would donate half the money to charity if bidding reached $1,500, a violation of eBay's policies on charity auctions. If Carlson chooses to run another sale where people bid on the opportunity to smack the hell out of him, experts agree it could be the highest-grossing auction seen on eBay thus far. Source
