Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets

nzgeek writes "This guy seems to have a serious gadget addiction: 'we're selling our son for $30k. There's nothing sinister about this, he's not going into child slavery or anything, Randy and Linda just really liked his demeanor, and they're keen on a Kiwi kid because they're usually so healthy. I hear $30 grand is really good value these days. So help me out: what would be a good swag of gadgets to get hold of for US$30,000?' " This one definitely raises a lot of important questions. $30k is a lot of gadgets, so you must choose wisely!

  1. Why not get $50K? by tquinlan · · Score: 4, Informative

    Frankly, if one is going to sell such "merchandise" to pay for gadgets, I would go out of my way to find another buyer (check the black market), and start a bidding war! You could likely get up to $50K that way - and then imagine how much you could get in gadgetry!

    Or, better yet, auctions on eBay, with some well placed shill bidding could get you $100K! Then you could double your fun/d! ;)
