There are a ton of crazy items for sale on eBay right this second. You can buy a piece of the Eiffle Tower, bid on a used Ferragamo bag once carried by Jennifer Anniston or even purchase a Laker’s basketball personally autographed by Kobe Bryant. Most of us eBayers already know the joys of hunting for rare, dumb, crazy or even obscene items, but now people are even turning to the online magnet to place themselves for public auction. Well…at least one person is. And the bidding starts at .99 cents!
If you type in listing 150349995516, you’ll find Sherry Campbell’s photo and resume.
“What do you do. You market yourself. You have to be able to sell yourself to be able to sell something for somebody else, so I listed myself on eBay” says Sherry Campbell.
Campbell is a car salesperson in a tough predicament. Instead of a steady paycheck, she’s now struggling on commission only. The breadwinner of her family, with four kids and a disabled husband, she says car sales along U.S. 19 in Port Richey aren’t what they used to be.
So the 41-year old mom posted herself for auction on eBay, hoping for a bid from a better boss. The auction for a “hardworking, loyal, dependable employee” and “a real live person to work for you” starts out at ninety-nine cents. So far, there aren’t any takers. But Campbell’s hoping by June 11th she might have a buyer and a new sales job to support her family.
“So if there’s anybody out there that needs a car salesman, I’m your woman,” Campbell said. You can find Sherry Campbell’s auction on EBay by searching “Employee for Hire!” You can even get references on request.
But one thing, “No deadbeat bidders” please. (source)
