German Baby for Sale on the Bay

So, apparently the ad was taken down, but a German baby was posted on Ebay for sale for the low low price of $1.60.....

Parents post baby on eBay for 1 euro - Europe - MSNBC.com

Quote:

BERLIN, Germany - Authorities in southern Germany have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, or about $1.60.

Police spokesman Peter Hieber says the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region.

Hieber said on Saturday that the mother told police the Internet ad was only a joke. Authorities have begun an investigation into possible child trafficking against the parents.

No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted. The Internet auction site deleted the posting later.

Several people who saw the ad alerted police.

Can you imagine one day your parents say to you "Yeah, we even tried to sell you for one euro, but no-one bid for you." Poor kid.....

What do you post to them as feedback?

"Product arrived in good working order, still screaming and making a mess everywhere, well packaged, A++++ seller"

Just think of the condition that would warrant a neg feedback:

"Product arrived. Box was massacred in shipping. Box was torn and bloody, product not packaged sufficiently

"

Negative feedback, Reason: Damaged goods.

What would have been really sick, is if someone tried to buy the baby, at least people either A-thought it was a joke, or a set up by the cops, or B- Just didnt want a baby...........

I'm not surprised at that price. You could get at least 5 for that in southeast Asia, plus a free burial ground.

As a joke:

But if serious:

If the baby comes in damaged, I wonder how the UPS claim process would go.
