Selling Snow & Warm Air on eBay

Colorado woman selling snow on eBay – reports the AP:

“Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for snow from “Blizzard I and Blizzard II” being offered by Mary Walker. She and husband, Jim, got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.”

This is hilarious – and it’s not even April 1stsmile_tongue.  I looked up the actual eBay bid – low and behold, the current bid amount is $56, $77 $102.50 and the bid was viewed 8968 times. 

This gave me the idea: so many people are unfortunate, stuck in cold climate, while I’m walking around in spring-like sunny California.  I think I’m gonna put up a few bags of warm air for sale on eBay.

Note: despite rumors, the Golden Gate Bridge is not for sale.

Update (12/31):  Here’s another interesting item to buy: dehydrated water.  smile_eyeroll
