Man Auctions Forehead Advertising on eBay

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thought-you-can't-sell-body-parts dept.

Sammy at Palm Addict writes "According to the BBC, a 20-year-old US man is selling advertising space on his forehead to the highest bidder on website eBay. "Andrew Fisher, from Omaha, Nebraska, said he would have a non-permanent logo or brand name tattooed on his head for 30 days. "The way I see it I'm selling something I already own; after 30 days I get it back." Mr Fisher has received 39 bids so far, with the largest bid currently at more than $322 (£171).""

    I live in Omaha as well... Of course the local news is having a field day with this kid. Anyways... they did their story last night and I don't see whats so special about it. In fact, I am even more surprised to see it posted on Slashdot.

    The submitter also forgot to check the actual eBay auction before posting.. This morning it was sitting at around $2,550 and as of right now, at 2:30 CST it's around $15,000.

    So... whats going to happen? He gets a lot of press from it, people run up the fradulent bid and he never gets paid. The End.

    Here's the link to the auction... and the link to his website..
