Odd News Article (Selling Snow on Ebay)

If I could stop laughing long enough I could ask, did you read the article in today's odd news about a Lady who was selling snow on EBAY. I knew they sold everything on there, but I never guessed someone would think to sell snow. You see, finding a product to start a business isn't as difficult as some may think. A product can be found anywhere, even your own front yard. LOL . I bet you're wondering how did she ship it. She avoided shipping, by having them pick it up. That's just to funny. In case you haven't had your quota of reading for today I've posted the article here. LOVELAND, Colo. - As if Colorado residents don't have enough snow to dig out from, one resident is offering more for a price on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for snow from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II" being offered by Mary Walker. She and husband, Jim, got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.
"I figured eBay has ghosts and all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Walker, who teaches business workshops on employee communications.
How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up — in a dump truck.
Only 10 offerings of snow are available and the proceeds are earmarked for a used snowblower for Jim or a pair of shovels.
She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard overstock.
"We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.
