German parents post baby on eBay for 1 euro

1 hour, 55 minutes ago

BERLIN - Authorities in southern Germany said Saturday they have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, the equivalent of $1.57.

Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child's 23-year-old mother insisted the ad was only a joke.

Authorities have launched an investigation into possible child trafficking against the baby's mother and 24-year-old father, neither of whom was identified.

"Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller," police quoted the ad as reading.

No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted on Tuesday. EBay later deleted the posting, but assisted police in tracking down the parents.

Several people who saw the ad alerted police.

If its not a joke, I think I have about $20 Euro upstairs. The smallest denomination is a $2 Euro coin. Do you think they have change?

I absolutely loved it when my children were babies. It was when they hit the dreaded 'teen-aged' years that I considered Ebay. :p

Has to be a joke. If it weren't, I don't think they'd sell it for one euro.
