In fact, I keep trying to convince the woman in the cubicle next to mine that she should try to sell her daughter. Her little baby is going into preschool this fall, so while she was reading some informational materials about the school, I asked her if it was a manual for how to sell kids on eBay. She’s still not taking the bait, which I think is her loss—I made her an offer that most people wouldn’t refuse.
Admittedly, the offer was more of a trade than a purchase, but you tell me if these seem like they have comparable value on a website like that: she would give me her young daughter and I’d give her five bucks plus a potato chip that looks like Jesus. Doesn’t that sound like a good deal to you?
