Family for Sale

Apparently the sale of people violates ebay's terms of service.

I'm sure it's all in the wording--just it into a bid on services, not the actual family itself. Heck, if they'd babysit my kids I'd probably consider a bid. :p

Just an idea...

[sarcasm]
But couldn't our *cof* dear friend Ciara perhaps take this as an opportunity to get that cash she 'needs'? There's gotta be some marketable skills in there somewhere!

She probably won't see this...she was only popping back on here due to the e-mail notification of the thread she started.

I don't think she has any family members worth selling.

If she lived in certain parts of Nevada, she could sell herself.

Now, now, y'all play nice!

Besides, haven't you ever heard of attending your own funeral? It was something of a tradition on the old BBS-era Cellar.

What? Who, me? Why, I was merely offering Ciara a way to get herself out of that financial hole.

In most parts of Philadelphia she can as well. Ooooh ... you mean legally.

Yes, I was actually speaking from a legal standpoint. Desperate acts drive up crime rates...I surely don't want to see that.
