An unusual (and sweet) eBay auction
From
Canada.com/Montrael Gazette:
Quebec man sells snowbank on EBay for $3,550
A Quebec man has sold the "magnificent" two-metre-high snowbank in front of his home on EBay for $3,550, less than two weeks after putting it up for sale - to a buyer who plans to use it for a snowball fight with his family.
But first the snow salesman had to endure a media storm, a flurry of bids and a winning offer that turned out to be a hoax.
The proceeds will go to Operation Enfant Soleil, a Quebec charity that supports children's hospitals in the province.
"I'm very happy," Michel Levesque said Saturday night from his home just north of Montreal. "Especially after the day I had today."
The winning bidder, Claude Fraser, said he and his family bought the snowbank because they make an annual donation to a charity and hadn't decided on one for this year.
No problem with having a little fun with your charitable donation.
Very cool as I have quite a few of these in our pasture right now. (firing up eBay)
