well the things have to such a pass that one is going to sell his\her time and there are other people who want to buy such time.
Really in this materialistic world anything can happen..............
What's the Psycholgy behind such proposals?
i think that the main thing must be the thrill that it gives in being the first one to do that sort of stuff...............(untill&unless one is so much ill),Bcoz if one really want's to have fun.....and he has the money then he can have it then and there. why have the wait and UNCERTAINITY?
WHAT U SAY




THE NEWS IS AS UNDER

Desperate teens sell themselves on eBay

Looking for a little extra spending money, two college-bound teenagers decided to sell a week of their time to the highest bidder on the Internet auction site eBay.

The teens hoped for fortune and adventure, but got neither. When the auction closed on Monday, the teens learned the winning bidder — a St. Joseph resident — had offered a mere $246.50 for their services.

"I'm kind of disappointed, but it's money," said Chris Pullen, 19, of St. Joseph. "I think it was exciting while it lasted. But it's still money, nothing to be disheartened about."

Pullen said fellow Central High School graduate Chip Davis suggested the idea.

"I was like, 'Dude, that's tight,'" Pullen recalled of his reaction.

Under the heading "Buy us for one week to do those tedious tasks you hate!" the teens posted their pictures on eBay with a minimum bid of $1. Bidding began on July 29.

While the auction was under way, friends asked the teenagers if they worried about who would win their services.

"I didn't care who won," Davis said, "as long as we didn't have to clean someone's sewers or something. That wouldn't be too exciting for a whole week."

But the teens' enthusiasm waned as days passed with no new bids.

"It wasn't too terribly exciting since the winning bid was made four or five days ago," Davis said. "It was anticlimactic at the end."

Davis has e-mailed the teens' future boss, but the details of the work arrangement haven't been reached. Because the teens are headed off to the University of Missouri this weekend, the work week might be split up into seven one-day sessions.

"I don't think I'll do it again," Davis said of the experience.
