http://www.diediedie.com/Scumbag/24smallchildren.htm - xuanyan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+70This is hilarious. Digg.
- Bloc, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33makes you wonder how shiftt found a listing for 24 small children...?
- jo42, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32There go my plans for selling Canada...
- stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Ah, the ebay days of yore, when you could leave feedback for anyone without having actually completed a transaction.
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=kidik2000&item=-1&frm=0 - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27almost as good as the auction from a few years back.. some guy was trying to offload 2 pounds of cocaine for $2 mil
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24Damn, I would have loved to owned Middle Earth.
- izzybomb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Who would really want to buy that girls virginity anyways?
- shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25who would buy it?
(France?) - BBryan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I tried to sell my soul on ebay, no bids. bummer.
- drakethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24The US would buy it so they could more easily monitor "Terrorist" activities.
- allanak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16What about the girl who tried selling her virginity on ebay back in 2004? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/3429769.stm
And the guy: http://www.wtfman.com/mcd/dick2.htm - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18lol bloc, I bought a few before they took the auction down ;)
- stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15It's not. It's internet-related.
- Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Anyone know if any senators or congressmen have put up a listing on ebay, we all know that they are for sale, why not be able to get some quality feedback on it. I just dont know if paypal will accept some of the payments, they might just put a hold on the accounts.

She finished the auction on her website and consumated the deal.
A 44 year old BT engineer paid 8,400 pounds. Her response was that it was "very uncomfortable but over quite quickly". - stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Anyone have a cached copy of the listing before it was pulled?
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"Who would want a country full of lazy xenophobic anti-environmental terrorists anyway?"
That's so untrue. I almost feel like getting out of bed and taking my Escalade to the park to do some dirtbiking just to show how much I enjoy the environment. (As long as there's no foreigners there.. yikes!) - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10nice one stomicron, I've got another one for you

- McNamron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Heh, a pretty good laugh for an otherwise gloomy Friday. I feel like I should have seen this printed in The Onion.
- wired4u, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I wonder if the usa can sell cuba
- aoe2bug, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15I would buy it.
- aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9If we're talking about generalizations. Then, I guess your country must be full of ignorant morons.
- drunkenrobot, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11I guess France should take the Statue of Liberty and French Fries back... You don't represent freedom, and you are fat enough already.
- psyon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Hey! I resent that remark. I have nothing against the environment.
- 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7We're a country not a county mate
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You can get land on the moon for $30/acre!

You know there are plenty of political slanted websites out there with like minded people just dying to have this arguement with you? You may be "pro-environment", but you're seriously polluting this website. - stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@shiftt
That's funny. Where'd you find that guy? Click on "feedback received" and look at #2 and #3 for an extra laugh. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6"nation of 4 million"
I had no clue sheep counted as citizens. - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@Atomic1fire
Your retort would be more effective if you knew how to speak English... - TestFar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Regarding your comments about the Second World War: What the hell has happened? Why are people arguing over who won the most? Its ridiculous; you won't, and never will, gain anything by arguing for your country. In the long run, anyone who can visit this site (the internet in general...freedom example) has won.
- dimatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6You obviously do.
- djhifisi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4As a kiwi myself, I feel justified in representing my country in saying that this is hilarious! Well done the Australians for finding one Aussie digger amongst them who was a) smart enough to think of something quite funny, and b) diligent enough to bother typing this on a computer using their funny six fingered hands.
haha :-) - diggitydank, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@ahhell
You are right, the US did nothing during WWII. We did not win it for anybody, but it sure as hell would have lasted a lot longer without us.
:rolls eyes: - 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes I heard we bought in a ship load of convicts from Sydney for the Orc scenes. The Ozzies were only capable of non-speaking roles.
- halfeaten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder if any of those bidding for NZ knew that the Orc extras in LOTR _weren't_ wearing makeup?
- siouxmoux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder if the seller would have better success if the person would of have put the sell of New Zealand on craigslist??
- o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, to be fair Russia should get most of the honors for winning WWII. Hitler's unsuccessful campaign in Russia was the turning point of the war for Nazi Germany.
- Spanca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't know what you mean by senior prank, but yes, in Australian culture we give New Zealand a heap of crap, all in good fun. They're like what Canada is to the US.
- 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's Trade Me bud http://www.trademe.co.nz/
- MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5robot, I enjoy reading your bashings...keep up the good work. Oh and where do you live?
- thegreypilgrim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I don't have a screenshot of the eBay page, but the next best thing. Here's a link to the story from TVNZ's channel one news - check out the short related video which is a replay of the coverage from Thu night,

The 24 children will never die!!! Neither will gigantor (our nickname for the kid with the giant head)!!
This auction was created by me and a friend way back when. I was the high bidder on the auction... and if you don't believe me you can still email me at the address listed on that auction page. We just find it crazy that this ***** is still popular! Someone on IRC found the auction the day we posted it and it got 10k hits in just two or three days while it was still on ebay. Then people mirrored it (like the guy at diediedie.com). Just before the counter we had placed on the page went offline a couple years ago, it had registered over 3 million hits, including some from .gov, .mil, microsoft.com, apple.com, etc...
Funniest fact of this whole experience: AOL caught wind of the auction early on and faxed a copy of it to the FBI to investigate. My friend who was the 'seller' in the auction actually had two FBI agents visit his home to ensure that he did not in fact have a crate of small children for sale. They told him they understood he posted it as a joke but that they needed to investigate just to be certain. - halfeaten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2C'mon now Kola, don't try and pull the wool over our eyes
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OMG the puns, the puuuuuns...
- TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2POG for it?
- 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hurricanes to beat Warratahs tonight - but we'll let you Aussies buy tickets to the Semi-final in Wellington next weekend.
Shame about the Brumbies last night - we're feeling for you guys tripping up at the last hurdle and letting the South Africans sneak in. - 12Volts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For Sale - well beaten rugby side known as the Waratahs - unable to beat fourteen Hurricanes on their own ground. Please apply at Wellington stadium next weekend
